| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? Well, it's getting down to the nitty gritty.Jacob never matched his version of GBTC during the early tryouts for me. Though I think he has a lot of potential especially if he develops as an entertainer as much as a pure singer, I had no qualms abo... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... "Map, when I have pulled the MWT omni's out further into the room, the stage does seem to go a bit deeper however, the loss of some impact in the mid/bass tends to thin things out too much. There is a happy medium with it depending on what you wan... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... "I find that the soundstage depth doesn't change much with regard to wall placement, just the bass for the most part."I'm wondering specifically if the omni versions have a deeper soundstage when placed significantly further out from the rear wall... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... Frazeur,I'm very interested in your observations regarding omni configured OHM CLS drivers compared to standard configuration and will stay tuned.Are your MWTs configured completely omni, ie upward facing tweeter and no wall facing damping inside ... | |

I suspect it affects ... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? "I still do not think those "non dynamic" live performances are easily duplicated by a system. But it can be close."Yes, I agree of course that nothing can be duplicated exactly, especially when translated from a large venue into one's listening r... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? I was at a live performance this weekend at the local symphony hall and one of the things I was taking note of was dynamics.My thoughts at the end was that not all live (or recorded) performances are equally "dynamic". The venue size, acoustics an... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? mbl is certainly one design that can raise the bar in many regards but differently as might good horns and other more esoteric designs.I am of the opinion that there is only so much that can be achieved with conventional dynamic box designs, thoug... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Maybe horns aren't necessarily fatiguing but the horn zealot's appear to have mostly chased the non-believer's away from this thread about what to do after horns nontheless?I'll speak treason and assert that there are many good cost and sound qual... | |
| Remasters-who does the best. Putting older CDs on a music server with effective automatic loudness adjustment, like SqueezeServer, helps equalize the overall loudness across tracks and disks may go a long way towards making older duller sounding disks sound better in comparis... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Wow, horn guys can be high strung!Must be all those dynamics!Makes me wonder.Totem's are not a bad idea but you need a really juicy amp! |
