| History on ohm A's and F's. Dale, thanks so much for your (one of the most I have seen) detailed accounting of how the Walsh driver works.I've always considered the Walsh driver a truly a unique and vastly under-appreciated piece of engineering work IMHO despite my limited u... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "Hey Mapman whats going on with the Class D speakers for the Ohm 5 S3s?"You are asking about a Class D amp, I assume.I will most likely try one someday when I feel the need to upgrade to more power/juice, but frankly, I'm quite pleased where I am ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I received the email below the other day announcing the new line:"Hi Folks,We are back to work and starting to produce our next generation of Ohm Walsh speakers. The sound has made evolutionary improvements; the maintenance-free lifespan has been ... | |

| Dissapointed with my new speakers I think you will like Totems. They are a good value for good sound. I'd probably take them over either B&W or modern Klipsch floorstanders in the same general price ranges. Models I've heard like the Arros require considerable power and curren... | |
| Speakers for the ears, eyes, and for the decade Actually I heard the Avalons again recently. Nice and distinctive sounding, but also very big and expensive. | |
| How important are the Speaker Cabinets? I have a clue but not quite enough to solve the puzzle. | |
| How important are the Speaker Cabinets? Yes, big expensive speakers are very impressive! | |
| How important are the Speaker Cabinets? I'd agree that speaker cabinets are important both for the way they sound AND the way they look to most buyers, including audiophiles.Again, back to the Magico Mini example, I doubt people in NYC cramped quarters who can afford them (a key target ... | |
| How do MIT and Transparent cables differ? "Real world effect: extended highs, deep, low well defined bass, 3 dimmensional imaging and large well placed soundstage."I've found this to be the case even with some of their older, lower end products, like the Terminator Series ICs. | |
| How important are the Speaker Cabinets? "I guess I was under the impression that the drivers were the most costly and contributes mostly to how speakers sound. Given that revelation couldn't you use cheaper drivers with a great cabinet to get close to the same sound as better drivers?"M... | |
| dedicated cd player or dvd-cd CD players have DACs in them. You can upgrade the entire player or use an external DAC and just use the player as a controller and transport. Upgrading the player is easier but may cost more to get to a certain quality of sound. A good external DA... | |
| How important are the Speaker Cabinets? They are an integral part of the overall design so they are important. The overall design matters more than any particular cabinet shape or size. Generally, they should be very rigid, which infers greater weight. Larger cabinets cost more to build... |
