| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Sorry I didn't respond - I'm presently buried under unread Emails and work-related stuff.The ST-1000 is driving the Walshs beautifully -effortlessly. The sound is very lively and dynamic, silky yet super-detailed and the noise floor is non-existen... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? They sound fantastic. I am presently listening to a live recording of Berlioz' "Les Troyens" and the vocalists are reproduced perfectly. These 5000's having explosive dynamics and an ultra-clean tranparent sound. I will be posting a detailed revie... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? She hid them in the dining room - I never go in there. The family sups in the kitchen. I bought only the head unit upgraded drivers, not the entire loudspeakers with cabs mind you! | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? My wife hid the Walsh 5000s that I had ordered from John in early November. I assumed that I wouldn't recieve them until after the New Year since Ohm shuts down for a two week holiday at the end of December. Anyway, it was a nice surprise to get t... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Foster 9:The DNA-500 has more than enough power and current to drive the Walsh 5000s. This must be a placement issue, I have measured (and heard) substantial differences in the bass output of my Walsh 5s in the main power band (~40-60 hz) with mov... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? John Strohbeen strikes me as a strict engineer and objectivist and when asked which amps are best to drive the Ohm Walsh 5 mentions the most powerful and high current designs. Anecdotally, he is purported to like the Carver TFM-75 (750 W/ch) which... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? The Ohm Walsh 5s produce some of the best bass known, in quantity, quality and extension. Why would you possibly need a subwoofer? There's got to be a better placement - a few inches can change the bass output in-room, dramatically. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Mapman said:You are using the 500w/ch Wyred4Sound amp these days I think I recall?How do you like it? Any chance this is too much power for the 5s resulting in the driver damage you report? The 500w/ch Wyred is probably the most powerful amp optio... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? 10:1 is based on reasonable power loss across the preamp output: the pream-amp circuit is a power divider. At 10:1 preamp to amp impedance only about 10% of the voltage signal is "wasted" in the preamp output stage. However, no preamp has a perfec... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? The Walsh woofer is deficient at the extreme ends of it's bandwidth until it is fully broken in. So before breakin, you will not get the extreme bottom end thundering bass. And the upper treble range from 4-8 khz will sound recessed. Rest assured,... | |

| "Ever happen to you" strange electronics It's a Krell! Obviously, monsters from the Id! | |
| Tubelike SS Power amp I drove my Walsh 5's for years with a Sumo Andromeda II - beast of a MOSFET amp with a warm tubey sound - very nice.Presently, I'm using Wyred4Sound ST-1000 power amp and the sound is every bit as warm as the Sumo, but quieter background but super... | |
| Power Amp..opinions please Yes, sensitivitity is defined as voltage input to drive power amp to maximum output. A passive preamp and CD source outputtind standard 2V should drive the W4S amp to very satisfying levels. | |
| Power Amp..opinions please My preamp is a vintage Pioneer Elite SP-99D preamp/processor. It is an active unit which I believe puts out more than 5V at max. I never have the volume dial past 11 o'clock and that is for low-level classical CDs. I believe the sensitivity of 2.5... |
