| If money were no object, what would be in your rig "You think so?"Mbl 101s running right just might just be intoxicating and disorienting enough sonically and visually to do the job! Not many other speakers out there that I think might though however. | |
| I need help - Better DAC or NEW CD player? I heard the 840c on ARC pre-amp and Rogue poweramp running PSB Synchrony speakers. The results were top notch, one of the best I have heard. I've heard DCS and other high end units on other systems. The sound in each case was different but top not... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? The unique design of the OHMs (Walsh drivers) are what attracted me to them originally years ago based on the reputation at the time of the original OHM Fs.In general, I look at truly innovative or different designs as a way to break barriers and ... | |
| Greatest Rock Guitar Riffs "Love Is Like Oxygen" by Sweet. Simple but effective and most catchy! | |
| Low Volumes The OHM speakers in my system currently nearfield at low volume late at night is hard to fault also.I was just listening to "Love Is Like Oxygen" by Sweet on my rig that way at low volume. I never realized how much really good audio stuff goes on ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? My system and the OHMs in conjunction are pretty flat based on my ears and test recordings I have used.There was a review in stereophile back in the 80s (still available on-line) that indicated some midrange variation with the original Walsh 5s. A... | |
| If money were no object, what would be in your rig Yes, I'd hire someone to build a pair of Walsh speakers using field coil magnet technology like those high end CARs!!! | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Yes, I would agree also that many often mistake different for better and it can be hard to not waver when one believes the grass might be greener elsewhere. | |
| amp for Usher speakers I'd like to hear ushers on a good Class D amp, like Wyred4sound perhaps. I've only heard the Ushers on a good tube amp system and they sounded a tad thin and shrill on that in comparison to others. I think SS is a better choice and the Class Ds sp... | |
| If money were no object, what would be in your rig Bigger room. | |
| Good $10K systems I think my system with the smaller OHM 100S3 speakers, phono and digital sources would just make the $10K cut approximately. I would go with it assuming the right sized room to match. According to OHMs room size specs, that would be approximately ... | |
| I need help - Better DAC or NEW CD player? The Cambridge did not sound thin to me when I heard it. That might be partially due to the quality overall of the system I heard it on. It impressed me as much as any player I have heard. It fruitless to assert that all source devices are created ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "Kristian85 hit the mark, IMO. Perceptive and succinct."Maybe with the observation, if I understand it correctly, that blogging openly can subject one to criticism, which is undeniable, but otherwise, I'm not sure what the mark is? | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "I'm leery of suboptimally flat FR"KRistian,NEver heard the term "suboptimally flat FR" before.What does it mean?Also, I would not condemn someone for having a change of heart on these things over time. It happens all the time and does not necessa... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I regularly listen to high end systems for reference and comparison and have worked to get my system into the same league.THese days, I think I have accomplished that. I might be the Blue Jays or Rays rather than the Yankees, but my setup competes... |
