| Power Amp Doubling Output at 4 Ohm I'm in the same boat as Foster and Tvad with my current "difficult load" speakers (OHMs and Dynaudios)...it's important. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bondman, I'm curious what is the $9K dream speaker you mentioned? | |
| Best set up for 78's ? Victory!I picked up an old Admiral 3 speed ceramic cart table at a yardsale today for $10.Bingo! It works and the old 78s sound wonderful!!!!They really sound fine on the OHM Walshes.Comparing what I hear to well remastered CDs and similar music o... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Looking more carefully at the pics of the new line on th OHM site, it appears that there are actually 6 models currently compared to 5 prior:prior:micro1002003005current:micro10002000 3000400050004000/5000 appear to share the same largest cabinet ... | |
| Why so few high end line arrays? Line arrays are expensive to do well and work best in larger rooms only as well, I believe, hence limited market.Despite that, there are some good ones out there I believe. | |
| Rolling Stone top 100 Guitarists - Howe/Van Halen "I think people think he is the world's best guitar player simply because there has been 40 years of hype about him!"Yes, hype/promotion is key!#'s are required to objectively measure anything. Hype/promotion is the key to exposure and obtaining #... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Are the casters a standard alternative to the plinth base?My impression was that the plinth was used starting with the 100/200/300/5 series in place of the casters used on the larger, older first and second generation OHM Walshs.Personally I like ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? The new models look very nice.One thing I notice though is 5 models now, each increasing in size. My recollection is that prior there were only 4 models. I could be wrong on this one but I thought that the only difference between 300s and 5s were ... | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. Spike, Is it also possible that the cassette recording was audibly distorted, oversaturated or something along those lines? In general, cassettes were never a great medium for capturing low distortion recordings with good dynamics.OR maybe a combo... | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. Spike,My educated guess is that the Fs were starting to be overdriven at that point, which as I understand it was common and easy to do with the Fs, and their acknowledged achilles heel that Strohbeen tackled by switching to the CLS design with Wa... | |
| Beatles Box Sets Update "Now what do all the greedies do with the 5 extra sets they purchased hoping to make a killing on ebay?"Sell at a discount to the benefit of someone else.Maybe there is a God after all. | |
| Rolling Stone top 100 Guitarists - Howe/Van Halen People play guitar to make noise that sounds good to themselves and hopefully other people.Being flashy is just one way to possibly succeed in this goal. "Top" in the RS sense is largely based on reputation and popularity I would guess. Popularity... | |
| Beatles Box Sets Update Yay.There was no way only 10000 mono box sets would fly.Darn Beatles, always creating a stir..... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Why not just get the standard design and plug the ports if/when needed? That's what I do with my Triangle monitors I use with a sub and it seems to work well.Maybe run that by JS? | |
| Rolling Stone top 100 Guitarists - Howe/Van Halen TFk,Yes, RS has always had a clear and major anti progressive rock bias as does the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.This narrow mindedness in particular drives me crazy and is why I pay little attention to anything the mainstream media these days promo... |
