| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "I'm wondering, though, if any of you have ever found that a change in your electronics caused you to reposition your speakers."Yes, I had the same experience when changing amps and to a lesser extent digital source.It may be a psychological thing... | |
| Did anybody else notice this about PSB Speakers? Blindjim,For smaller rooms and more nearfield listening, I tend to like floorstanders with monitor-like physical driver configurations (drivers closer to each other) but in a well constructed floorstanding cabinet (as opposed to stands).In larger ... | |
| Ohm F remodel options "but I wonder what Licoln Walsh would have designed if he had access to todays technology or just lessons learned"On paper at least, the evidence would seem to suggest that Dale Harder's technical vision is closest of the variations out there to t... | |
| Did anybody else notice this about PSB Speakers? Dynaudio and PSB are both lines that I could live with (I've lived with a pair of Dynaudio monitors for about 3 years now and still always enjoy them when I listen).I would not equate neutrality with lack of character. The PSBs had as much charact... | |
| The Hub: ''Handcrafted Ralph Gleason'' ? " I do think the seller needs to provide full details on THAT SPECIFIC UNIT"I agree with that. If they assert their unit is up to the manufacturer's published specifications, that is fine. I will likely trust at that point but will still validate ... | |
| Ohm F remodel options para,Thanks for the update.Please keep 'em coming as things develop! I would go out of my way to be able to have a properly functioning pair of original OHM F's myself someday. | |
| Amps for Avantgarde Chad, I have interest in the Audio Research amps. Which ones have you tried? I am only interested in SS amps for my system, but I like that ARC does SS with a strong foundation in tube technology and I have been most impressed with the ARC sp16 in... | |
| Amps for Avantgarde This is just a whim but I have heard some of the better Classe amps sounding very clean detailed and transparent on elecrostatic speakers like Martin Logan and it seems to me that they might also synergize well with high sensitivity horns like the... | |
| The Hub: ''Handcrafted Ralph Gleason'' ? The lack of information in many audiogon for sale postings of very expensive items really galls me sometimes. My favorite common statement is "if you're looking at this, you know what it is" or something to that effect. No, do not assume I am so s... | |
| Ohm F remodel options Is there is anyone out there who has actually heard dale Harder's new Walsh speakers? Does he do any audio shows?I would really like to know what they sound like in comparison to the newer OHM CLSs, but have not heard any accounts to-date. | |
| Ohm F remodel options If you find a place (Miller SOund?)that can reliably restore an original F driver properly, please let us know the details of what is done to accomplish that. As I indicated, OHM Fs are a piece of sound engineering history and should be preserved ... | |
| Ohm F remodel options OHM Fs are special and deserve preservation if at all possible. It may or may not still be possible to restore original drivers to their original glory or something close enough, I just do not know for sure. I know OHM gave up on trying to do it y... | |
| Do subwoofers really help? I think a sub is a band aid in the scenario outlined. The right approach (happy path) is to fix the speaker/amp mating first and go from there. | |
| Monitors For Near Field Low Volume Listening Slightly larger Triangle Cometes perhaps then.Or OHM Micro Walsh Talls perhaps (floor stander with smaller footprint than most monitors) | |
| Monitors For Near Field Low Volume Listening Triangle Titus 202s + a sub are first rate at low volumes. |
