| Speaker Axis ? surely nobody has to tell you to listen for yourself and see? | |
| AC Outlet w/ Clairity, Trasparency, Bass Weight The thing is how one reacts to perceived "leanness". Lean to me does not mean lacking bass, but more that the bass is tight, well damped and articulate with detail. The other extreme is a fatter and looser bass, which works well with some kinds of... | |
| Which speakers have the biggest soundstage Speakers that image well and flourish in a large room will have the biggest sound stage because the room is bigger mostly. OHM Walsh speakers typically image from wall to wall in any size room. The larger the room, the wider the soundstage.mbls pe... | |
| AC Outlet w/ Clairity, Trasparency, Bass Weight That will be interesting.My limited experience with power tweaks has been that perceived relative leanness goes along with with increased transparency and clarity usually. | |
| AC Outlet w/ Clairity, Trasparency, Bass Weight I am no expert but I would consider Shunyata products for a power source upgrade. Most of what I have heard regarding these products indicates a good focus on function, value, and sound engineering principles which is about all I would expect in t... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bondman,Anxious to hear about the new pre-amp. Do keep us posted! | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bondman,Yes, I have the CD of that particular MLP release.I have a dozen or so different MLP titles on CD and pick them up whenever I see them at reasonable cost without a second thought. None on vinyl yet though unfortunately. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Having heard well set up true omni mbl speakers in a sizeable room unlike any that most of us schlubs will ever have, I would consider those to be the all time champs I have heard in terms of image depth and 3-d soundstage.The pseudo-omni OHMs app... | |
| AC Outlet w/ Clairity, Trasparency, Bass Weight "My (horn speakers) with (cheap solid-state gear) completely disappeared now!... "That can happen whenever something positive happens with the power supplied to the gear.When I first introduced a Monster power conditioning strip into my system sev... | |
| AC Outlet w/ Clairity, Trasparency, Bass Weight HFSG,What is the rest of your system?outlets and ac power have no sound. It can only enable the components powered that do produce sound to perform better at best. So it would be helpful to know what those are. | |
| Vinyl records No two records are exactly the same. All kinds of variations are possible even with records that appear to be exactly the same.BTW, FWIW, this is less of an issue with CDs or digital in general I believe. Most CDs of a similar origin will tend to ... | |
| Experienced audiophiles best speaker "I trust that goners take every thread and not just mine with a grain of salt. "That is not guaranteed. I am not a dealer but I believe its a better business practice to disclose than to place the burden on others to put two and two together and r... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Zk,YEs, I would easily recommend those with smaller rooms like my two 12X12 rooms go straight to a pair of smaller OHMs in an optimized nearfield configuration with suitable amplification as well and rest in peace from there.I run monitors in one ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I would have gone for the Wyred except I decided to splurge and go for the BCref1000m2s for a significant premium.The premium got me 100K input impedance compared to 60K and perhaps an upgrade in the on-board power supply.I like the Wyreds as the ... | |
| Is new better than old? Older speakers in good working order in general may represent better values but that really doesn't matter. Nor does it matter that in general speaker technology may have improved over the years, albeit for a premium The devil is in the details. Y... |
