| John Strohbeen from Ohm Acoustics passed away Such sad news. John was a mensch and a delight to deal with. I was one of those who found errors (and made editorial suggestions) in the Ohm beta website, and got the discount on new speakers. I had a pair of Ohm Walsh 2s that I wanted to upgrade ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? peterr53,How's your DIY Walsh/omni speaker project going? Any changes, advances, or innovations? I've got a set Ohm Walsh 2XO cans in great shape that I thought I'd be able to find an old set of cabinets on which to mount them. After a couple y... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bondman, I can't believe you're talking about an audiophile haven in River Vale, NJ!! I grew up in River Vale, a little more than a stone's throw from the NY State border. It's so small; it's almost never mentioned anywhere. Even people from ot... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I've found that Ohms can handle surprisingly large spaces, well in excess of recommendations. I have a pair of OW 2000s in a 15'x30' combined living and dining room, having had the 2s and 2OXs before them. (None of these models could be describe... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Hey Tim! Great to hear from you. All's well here.I got a great deal on the dac from an Agon'er and am very happy with it. Even at the retail price, this thing is impressive. It has a great usb reclocking function, and a 3rd party app turns the Tou... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I recently got a Micromega Mydac which has received very good to glowing reviews. Most intriguing for Ohm Walsh fans is the repeated observations that the Mydac excels at 3D imaging and enhancing the soundstage. Of course, this plays to the Ohms' ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Exactly. That was my main point too. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? It's ironic that Map's wish for more transparency appears on the endless Ohm Walsh thread, since Ohm has never been known for being open about what's in their cans. I suspect those class D modules are very cheap (not in quality or build, but in pr... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bondman, that is weird, but your ears are the judge here. Serious clipping isn't subtle in my experience. They'd know. Though I do wonder if something was wrong with that amp.You're on to something with class D amps. My tech was showing me some pr... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Finsup, keep us posted on how your 5000s burn in. Any comparisons to prior OW generations and other versions/models welcome too.Yes, danceability--for lack of another term--is usually an underrated quality. I think Ohm Walshes sound like real peop... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Aww . . . you guys have put a big smile on my face. Happy belated fathers' day! | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Map and Bond, I am VERY happy to hear your low volume impressions. I ordered the upgrade to the 2000s a few days ago. I was a bit uncertain about it, in part because of this issue. You guys have helped stiffened my spine.Bondman, your clipping pro... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Map, if the problem is clipping, that would be be amp flinching rather than the speakers. Still, the difficulty in driving Ohm Walshes--even the originals (but not the A or F)--is often exaggerated. The great high volume performance may be due to ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Coot, don't overdo it on toeing out. I've found the toeing out the Ohms very slightly improves the treble further away without detracting noticeably from the soundstage or image. You can barely notice, unless looking carefully up close, that the c... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks Bondman. I've never been clear on the meaning of "energizing the room." Not being much of a bass head, I have to say I've pretty happy with the low end with my original 2s and the 2XOs, especially within my listening zone (sitting all the w... |
