| How to listen to the Beatles re-releases? "Mapman, remember Ringo starred in the movie "Caveman"."I certainly remember Barbara Bach. Was Ringo in there also?Kidding.... | |
| How to listen to the Beatles re-releases? I think cavemen would have dug the Beatles, their early Rock and Roll period especially, and Ringo in particular.Not sure they would get Bach. Definitely not Mahler. Maybe Stravinsky. | |

| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bond,FWIW, you mentioned the Silverlines use Dynaudio drivers.I have Dynaudio Contour monitors in addition to OHMs. The OHM sound is not unlike the Dyns, albeit the presentation of the soundstage is naturally different. The OHMs are also full rang... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bond,I never heard the Silverlines but I know they have a great reputation and a good following on this site.If there is a lower cost design that can challenge them, it may well be the OHM Walshes.

| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bondman, I'm curious what is the $9K dream speaker you mentioned? | |

| 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. | |

| 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.
