| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Question WRT Ohm 5000 power and bass. It has ben said that adding wattage may obviate the need for subs. I need lower bass, not just firmer or louder bass. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Interesting you mention Bryston. I am looking to replace my B&K with a new amp. So far I am considering Bryston 4BSST2 (300W 8Ohms)-$4995, Van Alstine 600R (300W 8Ohms)-$3500, D-Sonic M2-1500 (1500W 8Ohms)-$2800. Not sure I want to blow the ex... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? So I asked Dennis about the difference an all he said was the the 3 is "newer technology". And that the 2 was ICE. He noted that the later 2's are also "newer technology". So now the 3's are officially not ICE, but what are they? | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Anyone have the new M3 D-Sonic or know what the difference is? | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks, Mapman. I knew this, but like I said, I like the squared-off look. I'll talk to John to see if there's any reason the cans can't be pivoted 30-degrees or so. That would take care of it for my room. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I like things squared up as much as possible, so when I first installed my 5000s, I set them facing straight forwards. I have been happy with the sound, but being an audiophile ("It's good but maybe it can be better."), the other day I was adjusti... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I asked John about them and he said maybe he could use my existing drivers and a 15" to do a custom pair. I am not thrilled with the prospect of shipping my 5000s 3,000 miles to him, however. I'm afraid it's gonna be awhile before I seriously take... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thank you guys for your comments. I have no plans to move to tubes, just something I have not seen mentioned wrt amps for Ohms. Really a moot point as I plan on upgrading my 5000s to some form of the powered F with the 15", keeping my original cans. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Aside from maintenance issues, what would be your reason(s) for not using a tube amp for for Ohms? Just curious as I understand 100W tubed = ~500W SS. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "Oh, and the sub based on the old F cabinet looks like it might be a beast!"How can you tell? I wanted to see it but could not find a photo. Other than that its an excellent site! | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks. I was not aware there was much difference in amps' resistance. I don't want to add a preamp, but is that how to remedy the mismatch? | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Tobe,My Placette is a volume control unit which uses Vashay resistors only. There is no other circuitry. I am running without any other preamp. IIRC it is 10k resistance and it works just fine with my B&K. I am not technically adept when it co... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Absolutely! I have learned much from you guys and other forums as well. Only fair to reciprocate.My system is MacMini > M2Tech Hiface2 USB/spdif converter > M2Tech Young DAC > Placette VCU > B&K EX442 > Ohm Acoustics 5000sRegard... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thank you all for your sound advice (pun intended). I will go for the amps first - a pair of D-Sonic M2-1500s sometime in the Fall. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I should add that music is mostly classical of which a large portion is pipe organ and large scale orch. - sometimes w/organ & chorus (ie, Mahler 2).With my B&K when I turn it up, sq sounds a bit choked and closed in. On chamber music sq i... |
