A "best amp for Ohm Walsh Tall 1000's" question with a twist...
How big is your listening room, and how loud is loud? I wouldn't change the amp just to change it, if you like what it does. Does it seem to be straining/clipping at the levels you listen to? Only you can be the judge.Otherwise, look at the usual ... 
Larsen speakers: 4.2 or 6.2??. Has anyone heard or own them??
Hi Bill, yes, it is indeed me! I appreciate your thoughts in the above post made to sunnyjim on how most Omni's sound with regard to live music, that also sums up a good bit of my thoughts as well, and probably why I do enjoy the Omni thing more t... 
Larsen speakers: 4.2 or 6.2??. Has anyone heard or own them??
sunnyjim, I think with most speakers of this type, Larsen, Ohm, Shahinian etc., you either like their presentation and get what the designers are trying to attempt, or not. They are different in various ways to direct firing speakers. I have owned... 
Innuos Zenith Backorder
I understand your pain, but sometimes great things are worth the wait! I have an Innuos Zen Mk2 and love it, both sound quality and also ease of use. Also, while I have had no problems with my unit, I have had a couple of questions, which Innuos w... 
Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers
I am curious about the GAIA when used with an Omni-directional speaker such as my Duevel Venus. As to the directionality/placement of these footers, would one place each outward facing? Would it matter? Maybe a call to Iso is in order at some poin... 
What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price?
In no particular order or reason:Shahinian Hawks or DiapasonGradient Revolution or 1.4Duevel Bella Luna or Sirius 
New speakers? No thanks.
Yeah, I think I would put that wine to use for another reason, heh-heh.....just saying! Seriously though, isn’t it nice when you are at a point with the system that you can pass up the need/desire etc. to spend more money, realizing that where you... 
Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened?
mkiser, your note about being in awe of what LP’s are capable of, rings so true with me as well! It is almost like how can one even complain about any of it, that it works at all, and sounds so good is amazing in itself! Enjoy!  
Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened?
Interesting comments here on LT tables. After going turntable-less for about 14 years, and had previously owned a couple of LP12’s and Well Tempered Labs(which I still highly rate), I bought a Holbo linear tracking, air-bearing turntable system la... 
Gradient 1.4 Speakers
I would love to hear them myself! No US dealer unfortunately. I have talked with Gradient though not too long ago, they will ship to the USA though, and will give a favorable price, although none of it is cheap of course! It seems to me the pricin... 
Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder
Polarin, nice on the Duevel Planets. I bought Venus back in June and they have been really enjoyable. Very similar to Ohms in many ways, but have to give the nod to the Venus overall, probably why I ended up with them. The Ohms too are certainly v... 
Shindo Masseto + Coincident Frankenstein versus Nagra 300i integrated
^^^ Nice! 
Substitute for Shindo in the UK
I don’t know if the OP is still looking, and some- maybe many will scoff at this idea, but in the UK, why not look to your very own Glenn Croft hand-made tubed and hybrid equipment made right in the UK?I like to call Croft Acoustics Shindo on the ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Yes it was. Funny. Full circle after how many years? Hah.  
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Map, like you, I too would prefer the Omni approach, giving nod to the MWT over the Arro, however it is certainly horses for courses. I have not lived with Arro either, the MWT I have, so hard to say. As to which one is most detailed, that too a t...
