| Review: Ohm Acoustics Ohm Walsh 2000 Speaker Congrats, Wudai e! I understand your concern about subwoofers. Just FYI, there is no crossover anxiety with the Vandys, since the crossover is fixed at 80Hz. Placement, as well, is intended for room corners. Richard Vandersteen took a lot of the g... | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Ohm Walsh 2000 Speaker Good info, Mapman. I, too, dislike too much bass - bass, bass all over the place! ...as they say. I suppose I could get boomy excessive bass out of the Vandy subs using (abusing?) the controls. People who hear my system usually make some comment a... | |
| Thorens TD 160 upgrading? AFAIK, heavier weights and clamps can be a problem for suspended 'tables like the TD-160. I am using an Ortofon OM-30 Super on my all-stock TD-166 MkII with pretty good results. I am also thinking about trying a Denon DL-160. I know the stock TD-1... | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Ohm Walsh 2000 Speaker A great question, Wudai e, but one that really only you can answer for yourself. I briefly hooked up the used MWTs (I bought as surrounds) to my main channels. Sonically, they were so close to the 2000s as to be nearly identical. I thought there m... | |
| Speakers for a large room for around $1000 Here's a longtime favorite of mine in your price range:http://www.mitekfactoryoutlet.com/products/brand.cfm?brand=6&detail=ok&PN=TFE200-B&Site=1The DCM TFE-200s are a really high value speaker, IMO. They are large speakers, but with a ... | |
| Review: Denon DL-160 Cartridge Okay, so earlier, it was mentioned that the DL-160 manual cautioned against using this cartridge with metal turntables. Then it was suggested that one should see if an ordinary magnet was attracted to the turntable's platter as a way of determinin... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Rpfef: FWIW, I listen to some classical, but not a majority of the time. My impressions wih both small and larger scale classical is that the Ohms do this well. The strings are not the sweetest or most liquid I have heard, but neither are they etc... | |
| Is JL best sub for the money? I second Bob Reynolds: You basically have 66% of a pair of 2Wqs already inside the Quatros. Although the JL is a very impressive performer, I find that my 2Wq subwoofers work very well in two corners of my room with no EQ or bass traps. They blend... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Horses for courses. A few months ago, I listened to $20K/pair powered ATC towers that Kristian85 is "beholden" to (a larger version of the monitor that Holt loved so much). Along with a few other experienced audiophiles, I was less than impressed.... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Kristian85: Have you ever heard an Ohm loudspeaker? If so, please post your impressions. FWIW, I heard some fantastic kit over the weekend. I heard the $54K smaller Scena (sp?) four piece towers, driven by s.s. BAT amp and preamp, and $10K AMR CD ... | |
| Attention Thorens experts Thanks, guys - you have been most helpful! Raul - that must be a service or dealer manual; mine does not have anything about VTA in it. | |
| Narrower spindle for Thorens turntable Catama - Good conclusion! IME, there are far more LPs with too-wide center holes than not wide enough. Having a thicker spindle is an advantage usually, since it is easier to widen a hole that is too small than make a too-large one smaller! I almo... | |
| Most Musical Subwoofers? I have not heard the JLs, but I still am amazed by my pair of Vandersteen 2Wq subs. Musical, powerful, and clean bass, and they have blended seemlessly with both Vandersteen mains and my new Ohm Walsh mains. Probably my most satisfying hifi purcha... | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Ohm Walsh 2000 Speaker Thanks for the compliments, Finsup. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Mapman - I did receive, gratis, from Ohm, a box full of shims and pads to level the 2000s. They do provide better leveling, but it's hard to describe just how uneven my floor is. With the speakers individually levelled, I would guess that there is... |
