| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bond,Your surround sound experience with the Walshes is very interesting. I have not read much about Walshes in surround sound systems and I do not do surround sound, so this is all news to me. My gut instinct is that the wide range omni Walsh des... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bond,I lucked out somewhat. I open up the pre-amp. It uses 6 12AX7 dual triodes, 3 in the line section and 3 in the phono section. The problem was in the line section since I heard it on all inputs. So I switched tube pairs 1 by one between line a... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks Rebbe.I had to grit my teeth a bit when swallowing the cost of these amps (not small change even used), but I have to say that at least they are delivering in spades so far as was hoped! | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "They are just less exciting and involving, even while they are listenable."That is the nature of the beast with lesser recordings to some extent.In my case, lesser pop/rock recordings typically have manifested themselves with a dull and perhaps s... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Its striking to me how much the sound of both my OHM Walsh pairs changes whenever I make a change to electronics. The difference now with the Bel Canto Ref 1000mkii's is perhaps the most striking of all. The sound is exceptionally lean and mean no... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? the ref1000mkiis arrived yesterday just in time for me to be snowed in with them and get some listening in.i'll leave a teaser and say that things have changed significantly. details to follow once i have more time to tune in.reb, your room does r... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? PSB Synchrony 2's?Excellent choice. As I think I've posted around here on A'gon somewhere, these are one of very few speakers that I could afford that I have heard that I could live happily with long term I think if I had to. They are a reasonable... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I'm sure you've found that the only way to find out for sure if the grass can be greener to try something different. That's also part of the learning process.There are lots of good sounding fish in the audio sea! Hearing the differences and experi... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bond,Thanks for sharing your info.For me, well, I finally got the urge to spring for the bigger amp. The Bel Canto Ref1000mkiis should arrive in a day or two. That will be fun! It was between the Wyreds and the Bels, and I decided to go for broke ... | |
| My Line Arrays and Dynaudio monitor - where to go Desalvo,I do not have line arrays but I have a pair of Dynaudio Contour 1.3 mkii monitors and other larger full range designs. The Dyns have fantastic, almost unbelievable bass for such a small box, however, small monitor designs are inherently di... | |
| Speakers that disappear kaif,I have heard mbl 111s on high end and expensive mbl amplification sourced from cd, vinyl, and reference reel to reel in a large dealer room with significant space (~15-20 feet) behind the speakers, a near optimal set up for the mbls I would s... | |
| Speakers that disappear "With regards to the size I found that I only got big orchestra sound from a big speaker."Generally that is trueOHM has a German distributor. See the link on the OHM website http://www.ohmspeakers.com/ | |
| Speakers that disappear Rrog,Good points. I agree electronics are a big factor. Room acoustics and location within the room as well.Some speakers are inherently fast and have good imaging and dissapear easier/faster than others though. I had never heard a speaker totally... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Amp news:I'm giving serious consideration to trying a pair of Bel Canto ref1000 mkiis that are up for sale. The seller is confirming for me that these are in fact mkiis, which go for a hefty premium over original ref100s due to input stage and pow... | |
| Speakers that disappear OHM Walsh speakers are mid priced and have some similarities to mbl imaging. To differentiate the two concisely, OHM is perhaps more coherent top to bottom than mbls I have heard as a result of the wide range walsh driver used (German Physiks is t... |
