My personal experience with Direct Drive versus Belt Drive
System building takes time and effort . The problem we have is a good reference yes live music is the best . I find great rewards in listening to other systems and trying to understand why they have certain strengths and weakness. I enjoy this que... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?

Thanks  R I have been thinking that myself . I need to change the value of the amps signal line caps . I will give it a try .  
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Hi Noble I have my own placement restraints as i live in a Manhattan apt. I spent much time configuring my system for getting the best sound while meeting the dreaded WAF . To save floor space my Ohm Walsh 2.2000 speakers are in short cabinets tha... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
To clear up my system and crossover implementation I use a cap in the signal input to my VTL100 tube mono blocks to make a high pass @ 50 hrz . and use the Mini DSP 2x4 as the sub only crossover that I can adjust on the fly . The extra subs serve ...

I went from 2 subs to 4 this weekend . The distributed bass plan works like a charm the bass response is even around the room and the whole system just sounds right . 
When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better?
The fact is you cant avoid digital as a format as there are many newer recordings not released on vinyl . I did the due diligence to improve my digital play back . I am using a Mac Mini as a server and sending my digital out AOIP to a pro audio co...

Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
The one thing i feel would be a addition to the upgrade would be to mark the tweeter center line on the top of the can and use edge clamps to hold it down so you can rotate it to aim them as needed.. As for the bass adjustment switch on the bindin... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
The Question to ask is who did the 2 to 2000 upgrade . I had my Walsh 2s upgraded by Ohm every thing was done wright  they made new top plates for the 2000 drivers which are larger than the 2 drivers  and the tweeter orientation was correct .  
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Well said bondmanp I have a system very similar to yours and feel the Ohm speakers brings out the emotional response to the music . My system gives me goose bumps  on great recordings . The better the source the better they sound .    
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Peter if I were to dampen my cabinets I would cut some square wood glue and screw them in the corners . level the cabinet and pour in the epoxy it would take four pours . And if you want a liquid butyl rubber you can use Permatex  the right stuff . 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Peter look into epoxy granite . its used in CNC machine bases .The new Ohm speakers are built out of birch plywood   
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
With a Mini DSP 2x4 you can control up to 4 subs on line level. Food for thought . I am going to try it soon
