| Ohm Walsh 2000 vs MMG vs Vandersteen 2ce Sig? Pmboyd, this might get a little wordy, I have lived with MMG's and 2000's, I won't comment on the Vandy as I haven't lived with it. I think some of it all depends on what you value in the presentation and what is more important for you. Also, if y... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... Fin, basically I haven't heard much of a difference-if there is one at all with spikes or other types of coupling with the Ohm's. The driver motion is basically in the vertical plane, so there isn't any cabinet movement that I can detect, and this... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... I have always liked the pyramid-style cabinets from the first time I auditioned a pair of OW-2's in the early 80's. They are very unique in this world of typical box type speakers. As far as my OW-3X0 cabinets, they are almost exactly the same vol... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... Thanks for the info. on the Audessey. Again I have no expeerience with it and have heard amny comments based on the typical cone and dome vatiety of speaker, so this is interesting. Someday when I get rich, I will have to upgrade my Anthem AVM-30,... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... Sonic Holography was an interesting thing, I had a Carver C-4000 for a brief time in the mid 80's. It was interesting on some recordings, but not so great on most. Rather "noisy/grundgy" as well. I didn't have Ohm's then though, just the typical c... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... Fin, I have wondered myself too what or how ARC or Audessey would work with the Ohms-or wouldn't for that matter. Would be interesting for sure! Unfortunately, I am in the dark ages, wih my "lowly" non-Arc Anthem AVM-30! But I sure do love the sou... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... Thanks Bond, I was looking at Amazon a couple of weeks ago and checking out some risers just to place the LCD screen on and get it up a little higher to test the Maggie center I have. I may end up going that route for awhile, but I don't know if I... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... My biggest hurdle is proper spacing/placement of a center channel speaker. I am looking at moving my 40" Sony LCD at some point to my bedroom and getting a 55-60" LCD to put in it's place. The screen currently sits on a lowboy cabinet that has my ... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... Map, I do think that the controls make the 5 series drivers nice, the controls can seem to help tailor things a bit and not totally mess things up along the way. Obviously with the MWT's, you are limited from the get-go in regards to bass depth an... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... Very cool Simon, I was thinking earlier that if I could utilize 2 MWT's in series, and use them as a center placed just right behind and to the outer edges of my flat LCD that it might really be trick, but I am just playing around with various opt... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... Map, when I have pulled the MWT omni's out further into the room, the stage does seem to go a bit deeper however, the loss of some impact in the mid/bass tends to thin things out too much. There is a happy medium with it depending on what you want... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... Map, my MWT's are configured as completely omni as they can be, tweeters pointing straight up, and no back wall damping, just the typical light layer on the inside of the can face all around. Not sure exactly what it is made of, but there you go. ... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... Just a quick update. After purchasing my MWT omni's from John during his Black Friday sale, I have been spending a lot of time just using them as my main speakers in 2-channel mode for quite sometime now, mainly just getting a feel for what they c... | |
| How do Ohm Walsh speakers compare to Maggies? I have owned Maggies as well, MG-1's that were hot-rodded, and a couple pairs of MMG's. I have spent a lot of time with 1.6's, and have heard the 1.7's a few times. Not the same as living with them of course, but I still have a pretty good idea of... | |
| Reagrding the Ohm Walsh F & A Now Walsh TLS-I, II Thanks for your response Dale. Very interesting. I do hope someday to get over to your neck of the woods and have a listen to them! Tim |
