Best Pre for ATC 100's
I used a CA2(the older version) with a pair of the Active 20's and thought it was a great little preamp at the time. Had XLR outputs although it wasn't a truly balanced design, but still sounded great and was reasonably priced. I don't know what t... 
Anthem 225 integrated: Anyone knows anything ?
Sonic, I totally understand, been there too. Sorry if my comment caused a little stir, not my intention! If the Azur bugs you in that respect, then obviously it is not worth buying. I have had similar things too, and passed on them knowing I would... 
Modern Shahinian Obelisk
Bond, are you over here too? Yes, I can confirm the 2000 main driver is aluminum coated. I believe the tweeter is a silk-dome though. Still, a little different than the older drivers. I too have been wanting to try a pair of Shahinian's, probably ... 
Anthem 225 integrated: Anyone knows anything ?
Yes, the stepped attenuator does make a bit of racket, but most importantly is, how did the amp sound to you? I do think most of the Cambridge line is good value for money, and the 840E/W are very good pre/amplifiers, and while a bit more expensiv... 
Anthem 225 integrated: Anyone knows anything ?
I think the Anthem 225 is a very good value, and sounds good to boot. I think it has the basic "Anthem house sound" which isn't a bad thing at all. It does everything very well without calling attention to itself. It has good bass qualities and is... 
Ohm Walsh vs. Mirage OMD 28
You will really want to be gone when you are going through that one! Yikes! Make sure to check your gain on your amp before you leave. Tim

If you can put your CD player on repeat with some varied music, that would be great. I know neighbors don't always appreciate it, but if you don't have that to deal with, then you should be good to go. The CD player itself will not care.I did that... 
Ohm Walsh vs. Mirage OMD 28
Branislav, enjoy them, they are a very nice looking speaker, I checked them out on the web the other day. Will be anxious to get your take on them!I am still in the long process of break-in of my Ohm 3/3000's, they are starting to open up a bit an... 
Ohm Walsh vs. Mirage OMD 28
Branislav, I would say that my 3000's are strong enough to energize my space, but maybe more on the upper end of that scale. I know the 2000 was too small and wouldn't give the bass needed, it did sound very good though with respectable bass in th... 
Ohm Walsh vs. Mirage OMD 28
Branislav, in talking with John at Ohm over the past 6 months or so, the main thing I come away with is that all of the speakers in the 1000 series(And MWT)are voiced as closely as possible to sound alike, only that as you go up in the range, they...

The thing that intrigues me about the 5000-hence my question about the controls/switches in the other thread, Map, is that the overall room size with the 5000 is so adjustable. It almost makes your speaker something you won't have to worry about u... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Thanks for the info. on your 5's Map, so basically you feel like you have plenty of adjustability overall for most situations in your room other than odd/drastic frequency anomolies then? I am just getting a feel for that in case I do think about ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Map, I might be able to play around with this option at some point. I have a lead on some old drivers/cans that would be fun to play with. I think most of the lower mids might already be somewhat omni, not sure though, and maybe it depends on what... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I haven't tried the "music in the round" yet, but I have pulled the 2's pretty far out in the room just to see what this would bring to the table. Bass suffers a little bit, but they still did the staging thing very well. I often wondered what the...

3000 series driver update. I recieved my 3000's on Tuesday, and finally got to install them on my 3XO cabinets last night. Installation was pretty easy, easier than the 2000 series on an OW2 cabinet that I had tried prior to the 3's. The hardest p...
