| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I'm very interested in hearing people's impressions of the new and improved 1000's series drivers versus the older series 3 drivers that I have in both pair of OHM Walshes and were used in MWTs from the outset, I believe.Having not heard the lates... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Ron,You will not be the first to supplement the OHMs with a sub when driven off a tube amp. It may be par for the course. | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states Atmasphere,What speakers cannot be driven by SS and why?Thanks! | |
| I think I've made up my mind All very good stuff. Looks like you considered a nice variety of system types before deciding, which is very smart.Two things worth considering I might add:1) A tube pre-amp might work very well with that amp!2) Did you consider OHM Walsh speakers... | |
| Anybody listen to Ohm Walsh speaker w/digital amp? I am these days. An extremely good match I would say. | |
| Good $10K systems C'mon, for $10K there are a gzillion different good systems you can put together, for most normal sized rooms.Pick a decent but not excessive tube pre-amp, a Class D power amp specifically designed to work with a tube pre-amp (like Wyred), and the... | |
| PSB Synchrony One owners - placement question? the synchronies i've heard had a very full and pleasing low end set up several feet fromthe rear wall and run off a rogue tube amp. i could see where it might need some taming in some setups. that's par for the course though for most speaks with a... | |
| What is the best Beatle Song I've been liking "I'll Be On My Way" of late mostly because its the last Lennon/McCartney composition performed by The Beatles that I have discovered. It's available only performed live I believe on the BBC Collection CD. | |
| High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more Thanks Ralph.I figured if anybody could identify a SET based combo that could deliver the goods, it was you!I may well test the waters of tube amps in my 2 channel A/V second system, where I run triangle Titus XS speakers and an old M&K sub of... | |
| Speaker cable between Pass 350.5 & MBL 121 mbls?Well, that's VERY different!The most impressive dealer system I have ever heard was running mbl 111s. They had 121s also but did not have a chance to listen.I've used Audioquest cv-6 speaker cables with the DBS gadgets with my OHMs and Dynaud... | |
| Select Your Less Than Ideal System My strategy is to get the amp/speaker/room combo optimized first, because that constitutes most of the battle and largely determines the general end cost. I think I've done a good job to date on that.After that, hell everything (other than ICs) is... | |
| Atma Sphere S30 amp Clio,That amp and your speakers looks like an AWESOME combo! | |
| An Advent Guy My OHM Ls (which were designed to compete with the Advents but in a smaller box), although I have custom tweaked mine.On my current system which far surpasses what I had when I bought the Ls in 1978 (I think), they sound a lot like what I believe ... | |
| Select Your Less Than Ideal System Al,That's certainly a reasonable strategy, but I wonder how much that option still ends up costing to get something that reasonably approaches ideal?Of course, no system is ideal in all ways, so its really always just a matter of what you are will... | |
| Atma Sphere S30 amp Glory,What kinds of music do you listen to?I'd be interested in your assessment on any particular CDs or albums that you might provide. |
