Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Matrykl The problem with choosing a design concept is that it ignores the execution, which is almost always the more important factor.Which is why I didn't like the Deuval's and most active speakers although I like both concepts. But what do you t... 
Drill holes in rack shelf to keep amp cool?
Hifitime, I like those musical notes. How did you do that? 
Dynaudio C1 with more impact
I get "slam" at very low levels with my 4" single driver speaker. Run full-range with no x-over, it is essentially an active speaker. Realizing that "slam" at 55dB listening levels is a relative term. I feel the thump on an emotional level, obviou... 
Rising distortion curve
Bob, you bring up some interesting questions. Now compare the Bryston to Fig.10 47 Lab 4706 Gaincard . Gaincard is .4 vs. Bryston's .06 but the rise is much more gradual. Would this suggest a better amp at low listening levels?

Sub blowing Christmas lights?
So forget Christmas and enjoy your sub. Man, you gotta get your priorities straight. 
Dynaudio C1 with more impact
Go active. No passive speaker can approach the impact of what an active speaker can do. Take the ATC active 100's for example. Rated for 40 hz. Yea, right. Not all 40 hz is created equal.Don't believe it? Go listen to an active Dynaudio BM15.If y...

Drill holes in rack shelf to keep amp cool?
I replaced my solid wood back panel with an open plastic mesh screen. Even "cool running" stuff builds up heat in the summer. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Mapman, I DID like the soundstaging of the Duevel's. I was referring the the quality of the drivers, not the spatial effects.Thinking out loud:Single driver: I would describe the soundstaging as transporting you to the event. When in the sweet spo... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Bondmanp, not the Ohms, but I've heard Duevel's. I just remember the actual sound quality, IMHO, to be inferior to regular speakers like Epos, etc. It's been a while, but while the dimensionality was vague, it was far more natural and realistic th... 
Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker
Are they still in business? Their phone number is a fax machine and no response from e-mails. 
DAC Magic or MF V-DAC?
How about Audio Sector's non-oversampling DAC? The kit is $330 for SPDIF. Less for USB. Assembled is $80.00 more. Not shown on Peter's site but still available.It is very similar to ~$1,300 Altmann Attraction DAC but ~1/4 the cost.Which is better?... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
And some contrary views by Ted Jordan"It would seem at first logical to design loudspeaker systems to have the widest possible angle of distribution, in fact the omni-directional design would seem ideal - actually this is quite untrue. It is now g... 
How tall are your speaker stands
Thanks for the input. It looks like I need at least 30" which I question the stability as I never see commercial stands this tall. So it looks like either 24" stands on stands or DIY.
