Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Re: Power for 5000I am considering both a new power amp and later adding subs. It has been stated here and elsewhere these speakers need lots of power. Is the power needed for the bass driver or the rest of the drivers? If I add powered subs, does...

Ditto. I too would like user feedback on D-Sonics as I will be upgrading shortly.

Blueranger,What did you do to make them "blow". What are the symptoms - just no sound? Was there any strange noise just before?I would call John S. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
My 5000s sit on a suspended hardwood floor. I firmed up the bass considerably by installing 3 FIM pucks shown here:https://www.gcaudio.com/cgi-bin/store/showProduct.cgi?id=325under each speaker. No other modifications were made or added. Gets rid ...

If it's not out of the question for you, Carja, I can highly recommend computer audio for digital. I went Mac-and-DAC about 7 yrs ago and was sold immediately. Hi-resolution downloads really do sound better in my system - IMO.

Carja - Thanks for your input. A few years ago I was hot on McCormack 500 and then they seemed to fall off the map. Seem to be weak on marketing which makes me nervous - as in about to disappear from the scene.I see your photos. Looks like you hav...

Thanks, Map. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Also for sharing your experience with others here!

What is your answer to those who whine that digital amps are not great in the treble - say with a soprano voice. Not sure specifically what they mean, but I've read that many times. A roughness I think. That's my fear about W4S in particular and s...

Oh I've been running the b&K on the 5000's for 2 yrs. Well broken in and definitely make beautiful music together on solo piano and chamber music. But on large scale works they get congested. We also play quite a lot of pipe organ and I feel t...

Mapman,Did you do a critical comparison between the BC's and the W4S? What was it that influenced your decision to pay the xtra?

I was considering the NAD M2 but I'm a separates kind of guy.

Help me decide which amp for my 5000s. Currently 23yr-old B&K EX442, ~190wpc. John S. says I may need more power. I'm interested in either W4S ST-1000 or VanAlstine 600R.What I'm after is lower, fuller bass and less midrange congestion. Open t...

"John has been touting on his site"???Touting? Hardly. He says go to the site for more information. Well there is very little information about any of his products. You have to pretty much call for any details (how does he get anything done if he'...

Where is there an Ohm sub? I don't see it on John's site. 
Anyone else in my shoes? Ears going.........
There are clinics with audiologists who specialize in tinnitus treatment. My wife has suffered with tinnitus for over a year. She uses an ipod-like device that trains the brain to ignore that sound. She has found significant relief.
