Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Good point accurus, I don't get the requirement to be this pin-point, razor/laser beam type imaging that gets yacked to death in the mags and press either. To each their own I guess. Obviously one can overcook things, even on the ambient side of t... 
Building second system around Harbeth P3 esr
Nagaoka's are nice all around cartridges, and fairly reasonably priced. One can buy the cheapest cartridge and upgrade the stylus assembly up to the MP200 I believe. Certainly so many various combinations to chose from, have fun and enjoy the litt...

Hah, nice one Map!  
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Bond, glad you went and got to experience the setup, and also to meet John in person. Would love to have gone, but not close to NY, and work was beckoning anyway. Shows can be tough, but figured Ohm might be a bit easier to place in those rooms an... 
Building second system around Harbeth P3 esr
A lot of good suggestions as to partnering gear above. I will say this, the Croft/Harbeth is a fine combination, have listened to the P3's with Croft off and on and like the combination, very much to like there. I currently use the Croft Micro 25 ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I wonder how many "Ohmies"-or even those not necessarily Ohm lovers, managed to get to the NY Audio Show this past weekend? Anybody get to visit the Ohm Acoustics room and visit with John S. and listen to his setup? Am curious as to how well it al... 
Is anyone thinking about building Walsh drivers?
Very good Jerry, while it may seem the crickets have taken over here, I am sure there are still some lookers. I did peruse your stuff of late over on DIY. Nice to see you still working away on them! Hopefully your endeavors will continue to reap r... 
The Davone Ray-S Speaker--A unique speaker that is worthy of your attention and audition
My wife actually loves the look of the Ray, says it is like a piece of fine art. I agree, but my wallet, well, let's just say it is a bit weak at the moment. Indeed, the Proac's are fine looking speakers as well.  
The Davone Ray-S Speaker--A unique speaker that is worthy of your attention and audition
I think they are a beautiful looking design, very mid-century modern in a way, and definitely Danish no doubt! I would love to hear them even though I am not in the market for speakers.I wonder how different/better the three-way design sounds over... 
Larsen Loudspeakers
I have owned the smallest of the Larsens, the Model 4 for almost 4 years now. I pretty much agree with the above comments, and I would imagine as one goes up the ladder, the family resemblance remains, you just get more of it. I have run mine with... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Bondman, while one never seems to get really good details on the drivers even when talking to John himself, I think that at least with my early 2000 drivers, the main drive unit was an "aluminum coated" driver. So certainly a bit of difference fro... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
"Even Jim Smith (Get Better Sound) rarely mentions changing the sound coming out of the speakers, but focuses primarily on changing the room to fit the speakers. That thinking seems backwards to me, but I'm just a lowly mechanical engineer...or am... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I think I get what you are talking about. Some of the early versions just had a mounting board with new driver, you pulled off the old driver and just placed this new mounting board/driver directly over the existing hole and screwed it in place wi... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I would be interested in how the old board is removed and new one installed. Curious, but as I said in my above posts, John continues to work on things and tries to make the upgrades easier to install, all the while bringing added refinement to th... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I guess I should mention that my above comments were how my upgrade from an OW2 to 2.2000 was(So basically same cabinet and driver size), so there may be slight differences or John has made some running improvements to this. I suppose the new cans...
