Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers?
Bifwynne: I like my music loud, too. But that sensation you are experiencing is, most likely, slowly contributing to accumulated hearing loss. IOW, you may be listening too loudly. As some of the members of my local audiophile society like to say ... 
Subwoofer Newbie Looking for Recommendations
I have no direct experience, but I see you have no replies. Many panel speaker owners like Vandersteen 2Wq subs with their speakers. I do own these subs, and feel they are fast, extended and powerful.Subwoofers offer some or all of the following c... 
Subwoofer Question s
Most, but not all, subwoofers offer a high-pass filter when you connect the sub via the speaker-level connections. You run the speaker wires from the amp to the sub, then from the sub to the main speakers. This is often a preset frequency filter a...

Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers?
I am also an Ohm Walsh owner, (2000) and fully agree with Mapman. I also think the Golden Ear Triton, although below your price range, punches above its price, and meets your requirements. I have yet to hear a speaker from Silverline Audio that I ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Mapman - I never liked Def tech speakers (although I have an old PF15 sub for LFE use only). But I really like the Golden Ear products. I know, same designer. But that folded ribbon tweeter is so sweet compared to the harsh metal domes in the def ...

Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Well, guys, that's big advantage of a basement man cave! Even though my all black Walsh 2000s look pretty good atop their Sound Anchors bases, the wife couldn't care less what I put down there. Also, the x000 series caps are made a little differen...

Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
My lack of recent posts should not be misunderstood. I am still loving my Walsh 2000s, and do not anticipate changing out my speakers in the forseeable future. Unfortunately, any and all upgrades are on indefinite hold. While still marginally empl...

Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Wow. Thanks, Coot. That's the first negative experience I have read with the D-Sonics. And, the ONLY experience I have read abouit with D-Sonics feeding Ohms. The posts regarding power filters vs. plugging into the wall cannot be stressed enough. ... 
"this is the product Ohm puts out"
My own experience: I ordered a pair of Walsh 2000s not long after they went into production. When they arrived, there were some flaws in the verneer on the top edges of the cabinet. These were not visible with the caps on. The caps themselves were... 
New Pre Amp suggestions
How much stereo music listening vs. film viewing do you do? Instead of upgrading your pre-pro, which will once again soon be obsolete, consider what I did. I went with a cheap, but up-to-date AVR (the top of the Pioneer standard line two years ago...
