| Dynaudio C-4 or Revel Salon 2 Dynaudios generally do most everything well.Never heard Revels but have read some about them.I think the choice will boil down to personal taste. Both are good. | |
| new Magico speakers the Q5 Yay, another speaker design from Magico that I suppose few will be able to afford.I guess we just get to look at pictures and drool for now. Not much info on the site, kind of like walkig into a fancy Soho boutique with 5 items on display....you k... | |
| John Lennon, 29 years ago today.... I'd also say that even if the Beatles formed without John Lennon, their influence would have been lesser. He was the primary force in the Beatles that made people take notice IMHO. His music was a big part but his wit, outspokenness and apparent i... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Also, to be clear, the cases for subs I outlined above apply to 2 channel audio listening scenarios, which is what the Walshes are primarily designed for. I think OHM/John S. even recommends considering use of subs with their speakers for ultimate... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? One other scenario I can see for using a sub is if one likes a particular amp that may not be an ideal match current wise for the OHMs. In these cases, the full low end potential of the OHMS may not be realized and a sub could be an effective supp... | |
| 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... | |
| John Lennon, 29 years ago today.... "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... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? 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 ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? 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. | |
| John Lennon, 29 years ago today.... 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... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? 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? |
