| Speakers for Onkyo A-9555 Integrated I like the Silverline Minuets, and I have heard them with an amp much cheaper than yours. Auditioning is always best, but if you can't manage it, I don't think you'll be dissappointed with the Minuets. Just MHO. | |
| speakers that work well with class D amp? Some users of the Ohm Acoustics Walsh series speakers have reported great results with Class D amplification. See the Ohm threads on this forum for more comments. | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Ohm Walsh 2000 Speaker Thanks for the kind words, Tobias. Check out the large Ohm thread in the forum section for more info on these speakers. Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers, Phil. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? My Odyssey Stratos HT3 is rated at >500 continuous damping factor. While run full range the 2000s sounded great, my beloved Vandy 2Wq subs (a pair of them) naturally put more extended, more powerful bass into the room than the Ohms alone. I thi... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Okay, to bump this thread a bit, and also since it is a little overdue, I posted my full review of my Ohm Walsh 2000s in the review section:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/frr.pl?rspkr&1270213477&&&/Ohm-Acoustics-Ohm-Walsh-2000-S... | |
| Ideal Complete System for $5000 My personal suggestion would be for a speaker system from Epos or Silverline Audio. A pair of Silverline Preludes up front ($1200), a pair of Minuets for surrounds ($600) and either a Minuet ($300) or Silverline's LCR center ($600). An Outlaw Audi... | |
| Polk LSI15's to Salk Song Towers A passion: What are you looking for in an upgrade? What don't you like about the Polks? How large is your room, and is it a "live" or "dead" sounding room?I have a front end similar to yours (Odyssey amps, tube pre, high quality DAC with inexepnsi... | |
| Cartridge recommendation Although no longer in production, I am pretty happy with my Ortofon OM 30 Super. The OM line, like the current Ortofon 2M series, is a cool upgrade path, since you upgrade by swapping in better styli. I went from the OM 10 to the OM 30, and the di... | |
| Looking for new speakers I've heard both the Epos and Joseph, and your strategy seems sound to me. The Epos are one of the smoother-sounding metal-dome tweeter speakers I've heard. The Josephs are very involving, smooth and detailed, IME. Enjoy! | |
| Ohm Micro Walsh small vs. tall John - I have no experience with the Walls or the Shorts. However, I have a pair of 2000s as my mains. I lucked out with a used pair of MWTs (not the SE) found here on A-gon at a good price. They make ideal surrounds! I have them placed on two cin... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Just a listening note: I listened to Pink Floyd DSOTM last night. This was a used library copy of the standard CD. No remastering, no SACD, nadda. Yes, some of the guitar solos were a bit rough with the volume up high (I listen fairly loud), but O... | |
| Modern Shahinian Obelisk Well, Delapole, I hate to sound like a broken record, but you might want to audition a pair of Ohm Walsh speakers. I recently upgraded to them. Like yourself, I prefer good detail retreival without the harshness that some highly detailed speakers ... | |
| Which sub-help please The Velodynes with the room EQ device are well-reguarded, but a smoothly EQ'd bass curve doesn't guaranty a seemless blend with the mains. This blend is paramount. Since you know the REL, and the Velodyne EQ unit is available as a stand-alone item... | |
| Modern Shahinian Obelisk Delapole - Don't be too scared of the metal drivers. I was quite surprised to read that the speakers I recently upgraded to (Ohm Walsh 2000s) use aluminum drivers. Although I didn't try to confirm this with the manufacturer, I would not have guess... | |
| Best cheap record cleaning system? Although I don't have the Spin Wash, I do have a cheaper alternative to the Nitty Gritty machine that works as well, but you need your own canaster vacuum. The KAB EV-1 is all manual, but works on the same principals as the Nitty Gritty: http://ww... |
