| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? t8kc: Not to worry, this is THE Ohm thread on Audiogon, and many people lurk in addition to posting. I think you've made some excellent decisions. The new 2.2000 will need a lot of break-in. Be patient, and you will be richly rewarded. John h... | |
| Silverline Speaker Opinion I always enjoyed the Silverline demos at shows. One year, I heard, and fell in love with, the original Bolero. Delicate, detailed highs to die for when paired with Yun's own tube amp. They were my dream speaker for many years (and would still b... | |

| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? I agree with the posters who suggested you get a cheap place-holder until you can get something that will do justice to your fine amp and speakers. The preamp is, IMHO, second only to the speakers in determining the sound quality of your system. ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in audio racks these days? FWIW, I have been very pleased with my VTI double-wide for the last 8 years. It can handle a 300 lb. TV, so I would suspect the SOTA won't be an issue. It looks nice, has cable-routing cut-outs, and casters for easy moving. It was about the che... | |
| Speaker help under $2,500 I would suggest an in-home audition of Ohm Walsh 1000s. If your room is not too large for them, they might be a good choice. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Congratulations on the purchase, mas426. I am sure you will enjoy them. Just let them break in. I have heard Joseph Audio speakers many times at shows, and always enjoyed them, but you don't get much Joseph Audio for a grand! If you haven't he... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Long time no post, thanks to my company's draconian web blocking policies. But, a few things to add.Subwoofing: As you may know, I augment my 2000s with a pair of Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers, which are now equipped with the battery biased Vanderste... | |
| The OHM Speakers and Class D amp thread Mapman - I had the opportunity to borrow a pair of Arion Audio RS-500 amps for about two weeks a couple of years ago. In comparison to my Odyssey Audio HT3 (with cap upgrade - a wonderful pairing with my Ohm 2000s, btw), the Arions sounded at leas... | |

| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? So, my daughter's boyfriend, who loves music (country mostly, but whaddayagonnado?), was visiting, and he was curious about the big rig. I don't have a lot of country, but I threw on k.d. Lang's "Wash Me Clean" from the CD Inengue, and put him in ... | |

| The future for a current Squeezebox user There are alternatives. Having had Logitec replace my SBT once already, I feel like I am living on borrowed time. But there is the Pogo player/streamers, that you control with a laptop, tablet or smart phone that has music player software (like JR... | |
| Ohm Model I - Substitute Low Tweeters Are you saying shipping the entire speaker is too expensive, or even the shipping for just the driver needed? If you are referring to the entire speaker, have you asked John Strohbeen at Ohm if he will sell you just the drivers you need? I doubt j... | |
| Switches setting for M5-HP with the 2WQ at 80Hz Also, make sure the batteries are still good. I also picked up a used pair of these, and the first thing I did was have a Vandy dealer install new batteries (they are soldered in). If you do so, spring for the Lithium 9 volt batteries with the lon... |
