| Anybody listen to Ohm Walsh speaker w/digital amp? Please keep us posted. I have the 2000s as well, fed by an A/B SS Odyssey Audio HT3, filtered, 1st order, below 80Hz, where they cross over to a pair of Vandy 2Wq subs. Very curious to hear how the 2000s do with those Red Dragons. | |
| Music Culture Technology I recently heard their complete system of integrated amp, CDP, and stand-mounted monitors. Absolutely fabulous sound, especially for the money. Think economy versions of MBL gear. The speakers were good for monitors, but lacked the very lowest oct... | |
| Best speakers in the 3000 -5000 range Will - In your price range, I would suggest a home trial of Ohm Walsh 2000 or 3000 (depending on the volume of your room). You get 120 days to use them in your home with your gear and tunes. I have owned the Walsh 2000s for about two years now, an... | |
| Odyssey Khartago Ex. with Rogue Audio Perseus/Mag. FWIW, I really enjoy my combo of Odyssey Audio Stratos HT3 (w/ cap upgrade) and McIntosh C220 tube/hybrid preamp. After replacing the factory tubes with Mullard re-issues, the sound is smooth, noise is low, and the soundstage is very wide and tall... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? FWIW, I picked up a used pair of MWTs for surround speakers and also bought an Ohm Walsh center (smaller model). The center and MWTs are both very similar in voicing to my Walsh 2000s (current model). The MWTs were a little less dynamic than the 2... | |
| Speakers and system for compressed recordings? A different approach: I am with you, Bigwavedave! I like the music I like and will not be forced into listening only to audiophile-approved records. Plus, while some remasterings are indeed great, who can afford $40 to $60 for an LP or remastered ... | |
| Make Internet Radio Sound "Better"? If you look at Shoutcast, you can search by bit rate. I limited my search to the highest option, 360(?) kbps. While this is not itself a guaranty of better sound, it does narrow the field a bit. Some of those stations sound really good, IME. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Hyperion85 - Yes, Mapman, as usual, provided solid advice. I have heard various Mirage models. The better ones, like the OMD line, do indeed sound really good. But they are very different designs from the Walsh line. After 2 years with my Ohm Wals... | |
| NJ Audio Society? Ojgalli: Sent you an email | |
| Used full-range speakers less than $1,500 Of course, everyone's ears are different. But, based on my own experience, and my own ears, I'd keep an eye out for a pair of Ohm Walsh speakers, the more recent, the better. The current model for a room your size would be the Walsh 1000, which se... | |
| Review: Odyssey Audio Stratos Amplifier Audioman58: I am a bit confused - which amp did you like better, the XPA 2 or the Stratos?FWIW, I have had a Stratos HT3 (with cap upgrade) for about six years now. It powers the front three channels of my combo HT/2 channel system (see my rig in ... | |
| Pro-ject tubebox ii : muffled sound Perhaps that's why it was sold at a thrift store and not Audiogon? | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 3/3000 Speaker Thanks for the review, Frazeur! I agree with most of what you have written, based on my 20 months with my Walsh 2000s. One point I would make, though, is regarding poor quality source material. While IMO, the Ohms will reveal poorly recorded sourc... |
