| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. With a budget like that, if possible, seek a good dealer or three, and listen to complete systems, not just individual components hodge-podge. Then start narrowing down likes/dislikes, and whatever requirements you need for your system. Then, demo... | |
| Rega planar 3 (50th Anniversary) I am intrigued by this as well. See what the pricing will be once it hits the US. | |
| Could these be your next cable loom??...and price be damned. Wonder what the resale value is....😬 | |
| Ohm Walsh 2000 regrets True, very different in ways, but both can make some really good music! If you have to get rid of one, make a note of all of your priorities and go from there, and try not to get into a big hurry, otherwise, regrets can come along. Have fun! | |
| Vandersteen 2ce Sigs with bass coupler issue Yes, maybe not a long time solution perhaps, but one never knows. At least maybe you will have enough time on them to hear how things go. Good luck! | |
| Vandersteen 2ce Sigs with bass coupler issue How did your inspection of the Vandy go? Just curious on your find here! | |
| Best Speaker for a reflective room ? The new Gradient Revolution R-5 might be an alternative. Supposedly the Active versions are quite nice. In the standard passive configuration, I have no idea how they would sound with the Hegel, but on paper seems like it could be worth investigat... | |
| Anyone dislike Ohm Walsh speakers? I think this is part of Ohms problem, quality is so variable at times, and it is frustrating! Who wants to wait even longer for something that they have already waited a long while for, only to have to send parts or the whole speaker back? I o... | |
| RIP Glenn Croft Certainly is a shame, and he will be missed. I enjoy a Micro 25 preamplifier and Series 7 amps. Have had them for a number of years. Simple, spartan little amps that sound very good. | |
| Anthem STF Integrated ARC Get a long LAN cable at Lowes, run from your router to amplifier if feasible, set up ARC etc. and once done you could disconnect it. Just a thought right off…. | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? How about the Gradient 1.4 speakers? Yeah, they might look like little robots, but they do have a lot going for them. FWIW… | |
| Are the new Ohm Walsh speakers Audiophile quality? If I recall, and it has been awhile, probably around 2008 or so, my newly purchased 2000/3000 upgrade drivers for older cabinets used Dayton Reference drivers(or were spitting images of them) that were aluminum coated, not all aluminum like typica... | |
| OHM 3XO Factory Rebuild @johndel1960 Glad that you are enjoying your rebuilt 3XO's! They are fun speakers to listen to. I owned a pair back around 2007 or so, refinished the cabinets and then had the 3000 driver upgrade. I kept the original drivers and redid the foam sur... | |
| Where did you buy your first audio gear? JC Penney's technically....1979, I had ordered an MCS receiver, cassette deck, turntable and speakers by mail order. System came in, receiver was broken. Took it back/return. Found out that Playback-The Electronic Playground in Danville, Illinois,... | |
| Phillips Design Oh! Oh-16 speaker? I was reading about them on their site just last week. I like most omni/semi-omni designs in general, and was curious about these as well. Always nice to hear about new companies and their designs. I cannot say I totally appreciate their cosmetics... |
