Happy New Year to AudiogoN and All you Audiogoners
Blessings to all in the New Year!  
Ohm Walsh F Hope of Resurrection
pch300, the sound is well, vintage. It lacks a lot of top end sparkle that I have come to expect from superior speakers. But, that is reasonable, given the age and design. They simply never were able to create the shine that is with newer technolo... 
Mistakes I’ve made
The thought that someone else will value things in the same fashion is a great setup for disappointment. Once I give it, it's gone, no longer mine. Shall I pretend that life is about protecting physical items that went another direction? No thank ... 
2021 audio system wish list
cd318, knowing that the virus is variable in its effects, yet, I believe that a lifetime of physical fitness put me in a good position in terms of respiratory conditioning to bounce back. Prior to the virus, I was working out 5 days a week, and on... 
Anyone ditch the sub after large speaker purchase?
phusis, I almost never run a sub above 80Hz, as I find that the intrusion into the bass being produced by the mains is usually not acceptable to me.  
New Magnepan .7s a Quickie Review
Replace the stock steel jumpers; they are garbage. Nearly any decent wire will suffice and yield superior sound. See my review of the .7 at Dagogo.com I should add a disclaimer that replacing the jumpers, though, as easy as it gets, may cause warr... 
2021 audio system wish list
Some of the most fundamental changes to my system building in a decade are happening right now, at the end of 2020. I am updating essential characteristics of my systems, and making changes to the genres of equipment that I will use in system buil... 
Purifi Class D: Junk?
This thread is a great example of why I chose many years ago to avoid DIY. How many ways does one wish to swim in the quicksand of slippery standards of sound quality, with no assurance of a result with actual great sound? I'll give the manufactur... 
Anyone ditch the sub after large speaker purchase?
Not so fast. Just hang on to them for a bit. Sure, you have a sea change in LF, ok, good. Now, just wait a bit, then after you have had a nice long run with the new speakers, roll in the subs ever so slightly, very lightly. You'll see that actuall...

Ohm Walsh F Hope of Resurrection
First listen sublime; it was a good call and project that will yield much enjoyment.  
Ohm Walsh F Hope of Resurrection
I wonder if it was coincidence; my pair of Ohm Walsh Model F were the only ones at the repair facility when I dropped them off. Today, when I picked them up, mine was one of four pair! They had never seen such a thing with that speaker. Perhaps ou... 
Ohm Walsh F Hope of Resurrection
22 hours of driving, 1,370 miles, and total for project, including travel costs, of $400. DONE! Speakers are warming up (slightly; they were in car cabin, of course), and will be assembled tonight. Perhaps a first run this evening, too. We'll see....
