| Speakers free of grain, glare and steel? I have a pair of the TADs also.I bought them for my second system as more of a SS equivalent of a tube amp.I like them a lot. I have never used these with the OHMs but have used similar power SS amps with the OHMs in the past and the results were ... | |
| Looking for a DAC for the Squeezebox Touch I'm using an mhdt Constantine that I paid less than $400 for used and the sound is absolute top notch. | |

| German Physiks Carbon IV vs. MBL 101E Good question.I've heard the mbl 111s but never 101e nor GPs.I'd also like to know what those who have heard both think. | |
| Speakers free of grain, glare and steel? "My amps are ss monoblocks, 170 watts/8 ohms"What make/model specifically?thanks. | |
| Speakers free of grain, glare and steel? Just to be clear, I have nothing against high efficiency speakers. I just would not go under the notion that this alone determines the results. That depends on a lot of things.I have no qualms with the performance of less efficient speakers catego... | |
| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? All other things are never equal so its a useless question unfortunately.More efficient speakers are more efficient and that's about all you can say about that. Most portable electronics that operate out of necessity on low power are very efficien... | |
| Speakers free of grain, glare and steel? "It's been suggested to me that, all other things being equal, more efficient speakers are better speakers -- more micro detail..."The problem with this is that all other things are not equal.More efficient speakers may or may not be better and ma... | |
| Speakers free of grain, glare and steel? The Fritz are monitors it appears. The Other two are more full range,if that matters.The kind of amp used will make a difference between the two full range Merlin and OHMs. I suspect the MErlins will shine with tube or lower power SS amps. The OHM... | |
| Speakers free of grain, glare and steel? Unsound, OK, you can disagree but the fact is they ARE Walsh drivers, and pretty good sounding ones at that.How much one design bends waves versus the others is another question and subject to debate. Walsh drivers, even the original (and flawed f... | |
| Speakers free of grain, glare and steel? Unsound,"Walsh" drivers are an operating principle, not a specific design.The older OHMs as well as the newer "Walsh" line models all employ Walsh drivers of different designs. So do German Physiks and a few others these days as well.Each has stre... | |
| computer audio question A network player like Squeezebox Touch connected via wireless G performs extremely well in all regards and helps effectively isolate your system from the music server host computer and associated noise issues. A very cost effective and simple solu... | |

| Speakers free of grain, glare and steel? You need not consider older OHMs from the 80s. Series 2, 3 or current X000 series are the ones to consider. They also will cost more. These are much more refined balanced and detailed in line with other better modern designs but no OHM Walshes inc... | |
| The Physics of Electricity Wires are like ice cream. They come in all different flavors. The good ones are the ones that sound best in your system. Cost is not an effective determiner of end performance. Great sounding wires might cost just a few dollars or thousands.One fe... |
