| Listen...chair milpai - thanks, but that chair is the wrong color for my grey and white HT/listening cave. There are other colors, but they are not on sale and over $400. The search continues. In my price range, I really need to go to discount furniture store... | |
| Now it's subs I own a pair of the Vandy 2Wq subs and could not agree more with the article posted above. Easy to place and integrate, they provide deep, clean, powerful bass, and they don’t reveal themselves as a source. The battery-biased crossovers improve tr... | |
| May I Please Hear Your Quad 57s or Open Baffles? I am in Elizabet, NJ. I have a pair of Ohm Walsh 2000s. Although they are far below the price range you seem to be shopping in, IMHO, they punch far above their weight.Since the Walsh driver and tweeter sit proud of the cabinet, they are indeed ... | |
| Listen...chair Great thread. If anyone has a good, comfy low-back listening chair that is not expensive (under $300), please post it here. Thanks! | |
| Odyssey owners chime in jafant - I had been using a Rotel 1066 in bridged mode for 150 watts X 3 for the front channels of my combo HT and audio system. When I wanted to upgrade (for smoother, less etched treble, mainly), I auditioned the AVA entry level 3-channel amp an... | |
| Odyssey owners chime in I purchased an HT3 (with cap upgrade) in 2006. First, there was a hum issue. With Klaus's assistant on the phone, I removed an internal ground wire. Hum issue fixed. A few months in, one of the caps went bad. It was replaced for free under wa... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? ps: FWIW, my 2000s continued to break in for about 6 months, although I cannot tell you exectly how many hours that was. "Strident" is the last thing that I would call my 2000s. I don't doubt what your wife was hearing, but it seems odd to me. ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? ps: Out of curiousity, how long did you audition he Ohms? What about the sound prevented you from "falling in love"? TIA.I do agree with about Sonus Faber, and I have enjoyed Sonus Faber speakers whenever I have heard them. The (rather pricey)... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Sorry, frazeur1, I cannot recall the young fellow's name. But he looked to be in his 20s. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Frazeur1: I questioned John's assistant about the positioning. Mine are toed in as well, but not quite as much as the show pair. He replied that they had spent a lot of time positioning he 1000s, and this was the best they could do.I know for a... | |
| Record weights I love the KAB record clamp, ~$35. It uses a tight coupling to hold the LP down, not wieght, and it has a neat little bubble level built in. Especially useful for suspended 'tables. I have used it for about 6 years without any issues. Cheap an... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! Because right now, when I digitize my vinyl (for use in the car and my server), I have to live with the ticks and pops, and, since I use a pro-sumer CD recorder, inserting the track divisions on the fly is a real challenge. Not to mention the fac... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Interesting that Austin seemed to equate extended highs with excess, or unwanted ambience. The Ohms are anything but tipped-up iin the treble. I think they might even be a tad rolled off in the highs. To be sure, the Ohm room did not sound as g... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Mapman - I saw Hillary there, too. She was buying a big pair of Magicos for some guy named Comey. ;-)Too bad about the Stereophile writer (Steve Guttenberg? I saw him there on Sunday). I wish one of the magazines would take a fresh look at Ohm'... |
