Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Correction, I said:"My gut feel is that a sub is only of value with the larger OHMs in very large or acoustically challenged rooms perhaps or for people who just like higher bass levels, or some combination of these factors."I meant to say:My gut ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I've only measured using my ears as opposed to a sound pressure meter, but when I play a test tone record through the OHMs in their respective rooms, I hear a very balanced level all the way down to 20hz (on the 5s, the 2s/100s may not go down int... 
John Lennon, 29 years ago today....
"If a musical group changed your life,you must have had a miserable existence."They didn't, but seemed to have a big effect on the world in general when I was a kid.I tend to think the world would be different somehow today if there were no Beatle...

"Changed the way we live our lives? Absolutely not."Well, he was the founder of The BEatles. Did The BEatles change any lives you think? 
Best lighting for an audio room
It's pretty well known that audiophiles like to sit in the dark so we can watch our equipment glow.Tube equipment vendors get to save money and have audio sex appeal by not enclosing their devices tubes in a box so you get to see those pretty tube...

Parasound, The cages nor speakers aren't bad looking, but I do like to be able to see my drivers doing their thing when I chose to. But as I've pointed before, what's under that cage is not pretty and nobody would want to look at it. So the cages ...

Remember the old Maxell Logo?http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2172/2106734511_029b3f1ffc.jpgThat guy might not take well to the presentation of OHMs or omnis in general.

Well, the book was "The Catcher in the Rye" I would assume. No clue about the album. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
"the Walsh 2000s will benefit from spiked bases"Any cheap tweak to make them stable if not otherwise is worth it.That will help them transit low end energy through the floor more effectively and can only help with impact/dynamics.Concrete foundati...

Bondman,I'd lose the subs for awhile if you want to work the OHMs hardest to break them in fastest.What amp are you using again? 
John Lennon, 29 years ago today....
I do believe Lennon was/is a hero to many, FBOFW, and did affect the lives of many who admire/admired him. THe saddest thing to me about his death was that he appeared to be entering a new phase of his public life with some new perspectives perhap...

Also I'd say that those cages are kinda boring to look at. I do like the look of a nice set of drivers!

Talented guy. What a waste! 
Best lighting for an audio room
My system sounds best in natural light on a bright sunny day. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Yeah, I think I had my 5s for almost a year before I was convinced they had fully opened up in terms of dynamics.The 100S3s were acquired second hand and largely broken in it seemed when I got them.I'd pull the trigger right away on a bigger amp f...
