| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Just updated my system with a Pangea AC-9SE power cord hooked up to my McCormack DNA 250. I know that this is a somewhat controversial subject, but Steve McCormack himself recommends upgraded power cords, so I bought a 2 meter cord from Pangea (an... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Mapman, Bondman and others, I have a serious question. I have a turntable, many CDs, some excellent SACDs, a top notch FM receiver, and thousands of mp3's, mostly ripped at 196 kps or higher. Yet, 80 % of my listening is done on vinyl. Is it that ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I actually think that the vast majority of "breaking in" is just getting used to the incredible sound stage that these speakers offer. It truly is a foreign sound when one first hears it. A good analogy would be headphones. One can put on a pair o... | |
| Review: McCormack DNA-250 Amplifier Sorry guys for the late response- after several months I gave up for a reply! I am still very pleased with the 250. There is still a small amount of background hum that was not present with the Sumo, but one can't detect it even on quiet passages ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I would just call up John- he's very friendly and approachable. Just flat out ask him if they go on sale or if he can do something special for you like free shipping. Also, if you are willing, he can sometimes give you a deal on speakers that have... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? As you know from my previous post, I switched my 5000's from being powered by a SUMO Polaris II (130 wpc) to a McCormack DNA-250 (250 wpc) and experienced a "fuller" bass. The midrange and highs seemed the same. So while the Ohms run fine on moder... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? When I first had my 5000's, I hadn't listened to fine stereo in quite awhile and naively placed them near my wall (glass windows actually) towards the corners. I thought they sounded great of course, not having had a reference point for many years... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Mapman I had to chuckle over that translation. It's almost as if it makes sense but not quite. I think that he liked them though. Maybe I'll get my son to translate (he's a German major in college) and see how he does. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Interesting how different recordings sound with the Ohms, isn't it? I just put on the remastered vinyl of Are You Experienced. On a conventional system, Jimi's sound effects bounce from speaker to speaker; on my 5000's, it seems to swirl- very coo... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Interesting design, but it doesn't appear to use a Walsh driver. The only other manufacturer of Walsh drivers that I know of is Physiks in Germany, who produce frightfully expensive and prodigious (the top of the line weighs nearly 1000 pounds) sp... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Finsup the 4000's are set at the factory, but John Strohbeen (the president) is very reachable by phone and would be happy to talk with you about your particular room. The 4000's are cheaper by $1000 so one has to decide if the flexibility is wort... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Right you are Mapman. There are actually four adjustment switches on the back of the 5000's, one of the selling points for going to the top of the line. The 4000's are actually the same speaker without the adjustment circuits. So if you know the s... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks Newbee and Mapman, last night I moved the speakers in a bit and the speakers disappeared; I was surrounded by music! Finsup the room size is a bit misleading from my photo. There is the dining room behind where I sit that is one foot above ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Posted my virtual system with photos for anyone interested under "Opinions Please" | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Mapman I have photos but I can't seem to figure out how to put these in a response- it only accepts words, not jpeg. |
