Rega Mira 3 or Exposure 2010s????
Noone has answered the question regarding the differences btwn these 2 integrateds? I am curious myslef as I am looking at the same ones to use either as a preamp in the ST then later as an integrated in a second system. Music would be everything ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I dont think walls are the issue here. They are 20 inches from the front wall and 4-5 feet from the side wall. The room is pretty bright as there are windows to the side and behind me nearly floor to ceiling. I also get more highs when I use the e... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I have them setup per the "manual" with the tweeters oriented to the listener and the boxes more than 1/2 in front of the rack to the side of each speaker. I havent tried orienting them out. That could be interesting. The placement ahead of the ra... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
3 months into ownership have just upgraded the amp to an ATI 1502 @150 wrms per channel fed by an SAE preamp with Parametric eq. Definittely an improvement from the MAC 5100 and the old SAE amp which sounded pretty good anyway. Straight thru the O... 
Cambricge 840v2 vs NAD 372? as interim amp
Thx for all the input. I am going to investigate the Peachtree and the new Nad. I live in Hawaii so I cant hear any of these so is a bit of a crapshoot but I figure that if I choose something that has good reviews on a broad basis I shoudl be ok. ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Marty, thanks for the Underwood lead. I will check them out. I am in Hawaii so its still a phone call and freight but some good used equipment is fine.I understand the 45 wpc comment. I think the old Mac MA 5100 is actually doing a decent job at l... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Mapman, Thanks for the defintion on the whole current thing...I was just about to write looking for that when you explained how to look at it. All this discussion is making me think I need to come up with an interim solution on the power side. I a... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
My Walshs are retrofitted with the 100s3 transducers so per John S they are like buying a 100S3. I am guessing that part of the issue will be electronics. John felt I would be ok with the Mac but at 45 WRMS its just at the low end of what the pape... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Well after reading this for months I pulled the trigger on some Walsh 2s then had them refitted by Ohm. Set them up yesterday right next to my Ohm C2s. Very interesting. Not blowing me away out of the box but definitely good stereo separation, bot... 
Best floorstanders under $600
I would check out the Silverline Preludes presently on agon for $625...a step ahead of the ones you are refenceing. maybe you can get a better deal. 
Match subwoofer to Spendor S3/5?
What is the impact on the SPendor? Does the sub filter out the low frequencies and so the S3/5 can focus on the mid and upper? I am trying to decide if I am going to keep them and do the sub or just sell them and buy a larger floorstander or monitor. 
Tyler U7?
Oppty is to buy them used locally. Live in Hawaii so shipping is very high. Also no broad hi end shops so the oppty to listen to different speakers is very limited.Was interested in Ohm, Dali and Focal but would need to buy on reviews....the littl...

Help with Tyler speakers, considering the windmere
Where are you getting info on Tyler speakers? The website is very thin. 
Which speaker did TAS put in place of Gallo 3
In the last recommended issue which was I believe the Editors Choice awards in October 08 the Gallo was still there. There was another recommendation issue right after that which had much fewer items in it and the Gallo was gone. I dont think I wo...
