| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... My video upgrade included an upgrade (if you want to call it that) from a Sherwood P-965 pre-pro (with SNAP EQ - an Audyssey sourced program) to a Pioneer AVR with MCACC. I have an Odyssey Audio HT3 amp for the 3 front channels, the Pioneer powers... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... Frazuer - I had my plasma wall mounted, so I had to relocate my Walsh center, which had been sitting atop my RPTV that the plasma replaced. I used this inexpensive stand:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JIJMFMNot exactly up to the level of fin... | |
| Getting New Panasonic ST30 Plasma TV Check this link:http://www.televisioninfo.com/content/Panasonic-TC-P50ST30-Plasma-3D-HDTV-Review.htmIt is a review of the 50" version of your Plasma. I recently purchased the 55" version in this series. The review includes recommended settings for... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... Very intersting thread! My $0.02 is that Parasound might be correct when a conventional center speaker is used, but when the Ohm Walsh center is used with Walsh mains, the blend is perfect! I speak from experience. After I bought my 2000s, I conti... | |
| Grand Veena vs JM Reynaud Orfeo or Concorde I have trouble with the idea of buying speakers after even a thorough showroom audition. Buying a speaker based solely on reviews or reputation just sounds nuts to me. I would at least look on forums like this for local owners and ask to hear them... | |
| Speakers under $3-4,000? Hifisoundguy's Bose troll post gets funnier every time I read it. <:-/ | |
| Which speaker has the biggest sound stage? My Ohm Walsh 2000s do a wonderful job of both producing a large soundstage and providing pinpoint imaging. Depth is fair, but I think my room and electronics play a role there. Great height, too. Not to forward, but very wide. Of course, the actua... | |
| TDK SA-X or Maxell XLII-S which do you prefer? IIRC, the TDKs were smoother, cleaner, but had more frequent dropouts. The Maxells were brighter, a little grittier, with a little more detail, and suffered less from dropouts. I didn't think anyone still cared. I digitized all my cassettes (well,... | |
| Review: Odyssey Audio Stratos Plus upgraded Amplifier Hi Blindjim! Thanks for the review and followups. A question: I am currently running an Odyssey Audio HT3 with cap upgrade to power my front 3 channels in my combo HT/2-channel rig (complete details on my system link). I enjoy my system very much,... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? FYI - I have had a lot of "Holy Crap!" moments with my Walsh 2000s. Had another one last weekend.I was getting ready to box up an old Onkyo Dolby ProLogic AVR, retiring from the den. I wanted to see if was functioning properly first, so I fed it w... | |
| How do Ohm Walsh speakers compare to Maggies? I would agree with all of the replies above, although I have not had much experience with planars.However, the OP, IMHO, is wrong on the image placement issue. My Walsh 2000s create extremely solid and tangible images of both instruments and voice... | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Ohm Walsh 2000 Speaker Aubullience: Yes, the 1Cs retail for roughly half of what the 2000s sell for. My comparison was done because that's what I was upgrading from. The 2Ce Sig IIs, while priced competitively with the 2000s, were physically too wide for my room. Like y... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Sndsrtaud: FWIW, I upgraded to a used McIntosh C220 tube-hybrid preamp last summer. At full list price new, this preamp alone lists for more than my Ohm Walsh 2000s ($4000 vs. $2800). Am I becomming a Linnie, focusing on source and front end gear?... | |
| Best undiscovered speakers on the market today ? Although they've been around for over 30 years, Ohm Acoustics might qualify. These days, with only word-of-mouth and email advertising, few audio press reviews, and no hifi show demo appearances, Ohm is somewhat under the radar.I will admit that I... | |
| Preamp with tone control. Also, some of the Van Alstine preamps have bass/treble controls which are defeatable. Used they could be within your price range. Of course, there's always an old Dynaco preamp, which can be had cheaply and fully restored here on Audiogon fairly o... |
