| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Marcus/Parasound:Take a look at my system listing. The Walsh 2's in my system are OHM refurbished Walsh 2s with 100 series 3 drivers.IF you are handy with a glue gun, you can also pick up old Walsh 2s and trade in the drivers and do the upgrade yo... | |
| Floorstanders designed to be against the wall? Linns or Khorns if you have suitable corners.Various front-ported Triangle models would be a solid choice.Also Shindo maybe? | |

| Linn LP-12 still competitive with the very best? Chayro,The fact that the Linn has been a highly regarded standard fore so long is in itself a valuable reason to own one before owning something else, as you point out.I've never owned an LP12 but the Axis is as easy to set up and requires as litt... | |
| Linn LP-12 still competitive with the very best? It seems that the Linns are just not cool or trendy anymore.Since I put the Denon 103R cartridge on mine (Linn Axis actually) though, it sounds better than ever to me and I have not felt a need to change when I listen to other newer tables on othe... | |
