| Modern Shahinian Obelisk Rpfef, don't get me going on Hawks-Diapasons for that matter! I can see where the Hawk would provide maybe a bit better midrange just due to the use of bigger mid drivers, and also the rake of the top cabinet giving some options there, but the Obe... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I had some of the Martin Logan Motion series speakers that I used for A/V in the living room for awhile. These had the same basic folded ribbon tweets as the Golden Ear speakers, and they are quite good. I never did find them to be soft or irritat... | |
| Modern Shahinian Obelisk Jack, it is always nice to hear about others that have finally found their stopping off point with regards to the speaker merry-go-round. It seems that a lot of fellow Shahinian owners feel very much the same way here, no other will quite do. I wo... | |
| Modern Shahinian Obelisk The newer Walsh thousand series definately steps up the game with regards to the tweeter, it is a much better one, and not as "dull" as the older models, and I was able to do quite a bit of comparison when I had my 3000's and the older 3XO cans. T... | |
| Modern Shahinian Obelisk I find much to like about both designs, the Ohm and Shahinian. They obviously are more alike than not for many reasons. I do find my Obelisk to be more detailed and the ability to have a more dimensional layering of vocals and instruments, maybe e... | |

| Modern Shahinian Obelisk I know this is an old thread, but sometimes it is good to just revisit, especially when it comes to Shahinians, as there is so little written about them, so just a few comments if I may. After toying with the idea of finding a pair of good conditi... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Map, totally agree with you on the speaker end, it is what overly flavours the pot of stew, the electronics to me are just the basic ingredients. Of course they do have to come together somewhat! I have felt for a long time that while there are di... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? By the way Map, just saw your comment in my virtual systems, sorry I rarely go on there. Guess I should check in every now and then! I did respond a bit to a couple of the posts there. Darn, is this the 2000th post on this thread? Good grief, we s... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Very true Map, it is like a lot of things, very dependant on room and tastes. I tend to like a bit of spread to my stage, and even when the Ohms are closer together, they still do a good job, I just feel they are a bit more open when pulled apart ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Like any speaker, positioning is usually a big part of the sonic picture, but not the only part. Dropping an Ohm or any other omni-type speaker into the same position as a typical forward-firing box speaker may be worse in some aspects, especially... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Hoping for the best there Bond! At least you have great music, and while that may seem like a very hollow thing right now, I know music goes a long way to help get through those down-turns, it certainly did with me over the course of the last coup... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? We do share a lot of information here, and especially with this thread in general discussing many other types of omni, or omni-like speakers. This review is of another speaker, of which I have owned it's baby brother, the Model 4, for a year or so... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? When I was in the process of comparing and upgrading a pair of OW2's to the new 2000 series drivers, I did not notice a big change at all in the two different speakers sensitivities and ability to play well at lower volumes with the impact and res... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bond, that was why I said "within an amplifiers capability and not clipping" bit. Once that happens all bets are off, but I do understand what you mean, tubes are a bit more graceful when they clip, or can be, and I suppose the argument could be m... |
