| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... IF any of you guys running the latest 1000 series speakers can offer up any comparisons with the prior series 3 versions, I would like to hear. I have heard from Mamboni who indicates a clear difference and would like to hear from others. | |
| Tannoy VS Dynaudio "Dyns always come to their own when playing loud in a relatively larger room"Agree whereas the strengths of concentric drivers come more into play in a smaller room at closer listening distance. So room size may well be a key factor in determining... | |
| Tannoy VS Dynaudio Concentric drivers have clear technical advantages in imaging and coherency, all other things aside. So what you say does not surprise me, especially if listening in a smaller room from a lesser distance.The Tannoy concentric driver speakers are a... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... Also keep in mind that the CLS driver components have changed over the years. The 1000 series uses a significantly different Walsh driver as I understand it. So exact matching to amps might vary also. Hard to say for sure. My gut feel is that amps... | |
| wyred4sound amps "pristine clarity"You have a way with words. That is a good description also based on my experience. | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... Regarding the power requirements and tubes, there is no doubt they can get by for many in many cases with less power (I've used a 20 w/ch NAD 7020 in a crunch on occasion) and perhaps even tube power (haven't tried that but have heard of good resu... | |
| Most sophisticated and intelligent musician Cw,Good catch! I think Mick Jagger does qualify in this category.Though I would not consider his on-stage act to be particularly sophisticated, my understanding is he is an astute business person and thereby quite intelligent and maybe even sophis... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... Tim,I agree with everything you said and what you said is quite thorough and accurate, I would say. Nice job!In that they have traditionally been fairly affordable to the masses, there are a lot of OHMs out there that have never been set up to rea... | |
| wyred4sound amps "pathologically smooth"I would say that is a reasonable description of the BelConto ref 1000m Icepower amps I use also. And I would mean it in a good way. | |
| What is the point of point source? don,i think live is different because instruments have actual location. with stereo sound reproduction, that is not the case. spatial cues captured in the recording process enable your ears to triangulate location. speakers that emulate a point so... | |
| Class "D" amp? I do not have a clue. Do you? I'm convinced the better Class D amps are those that pay special attention to the power source on-board. | |
| What is the point of point source? WHat Nik said + speakers that approximate a point source (coaxial or OHM CLS drivers, or even smaller two way designs with more closely mounted drivers for example) tend to have advantages in general in regards to phase coherence at typical listen... | |
| Most sophisticated and intelligent musician I interpreted the post as asking about traits of the person, not of their music.So I did not include intelligent musicians that do not come across as sophisticated in general as people, even if I might think their music is sophisticated as a resul... | |
| Is this clipping? My opinion is in many cases it is totally consistent artistically with the kind of music being performed, if not necessarily teh result of teh artists vision.Most artists are not influential enough to control factors that affect the marketability ... | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons Rebbi,Should you hit that lottery, remember your friends.I could use an upgrade to newest Walsh 1000 series drivers myself!Or you can donate the funds to a good charity and I will understand. |
