| Where does fatique come from? Usually from distortions occurring in the mid to upper frequency range. One of the most common sources of fatiguing distortion comes from individual component's inability to accurately reproduce sharp transients and dynamics accurately. When these... | |
| Swap my klipsch heresy's for Ohm walsh 2 RBaker,Funny the OHMs remind you of ESS.My first OHMs I bought, back in 1978 were my Ls. These replaced a pair of Lafayette Criterion short floorstandere that used the ESS HEIL air motion transformer. | |
| Low cost Amp? Musical Fidelity A3CR is exceptional, versitile and an overachiever by far for the used cost. Might cost just a tad more, but you might pick one up for under $700. | |
| John Potis - Rest in peace "organize a series of benefit auctions here on Audiogon"Fantastic idea!Is suspect many will step up to the plate to help the family of a guy like him! | |
| Swap my klipsch heresy's for Ohm walsh 2 marty,Gotcha.Rbaker, can you confirm if what you have are truly original Walsh 2s? If they have the obelisk shaped cabinets rather than rectangular, and say "Walsh 2" on the labels, then that is likely what they are, unless, they were upgraded to ... | |
| Swap my klipsch heresy's for Ohm walsh 2 Rlwainwright's offer + $800 for new drivers = something to think about.Keep in mind there is a few hours of work involved to upgrade original Walsh 2's to 100 series 3 drivers yourself, but it is not that hard if you are comfortable using a glue g... | |
| how big a speaker can you put in an 11 x 11 room? The biggest speaker that I would consider that could work well, if you have 2 corners available for them, are Klipschorns.I would love to try them in my 12X12 room. Someday I may. | |
| Swap my klipsch heresy's for Ohm walsh 2 Marty,keep in mind that the poster is talking about original Walsh 2's from the 80's I believe, not newer ones with model 100 drivers of any series.There is a big difference believe me (I've owned both concurrently and compared). The original Wals... | |
| Swap my klipsch heresy's for Ohm walsh 2 The OHMs will love lots of power but really only need 60-80 good watts (lots of current) to sound good.Klipschs arfe more efficient will go louder faster but may also benefit from more power.The two sound different and have totally different stren... | |
| tuner to tube preamp I think you are right.Try Internet radio maybe if your reception is poor due to interference. | |
| Anyone here using vintage speakers? Ohm Walsh 2s (with OHM driver upgrade to newer 100 series 3 driver).Realistic Minimus 7's on the deck.OHM L's with OHM sub bass activator circuit and custom Morel driver mods. | |
| Your Favourite Remix Albums/CDs Mix Up - Patrick O'Hearn.Awesome sound and mixes!Most O' Hearn New Age fans despise it. | |
| Swap my klipsch heresy's for Ohm walsh 2 TWo different beasts for sure.Depends what you're looking for.Original Walsh 2s can go quite loud and lifelike with a large sweet spot and big soundstage in larger rooms and outdoors in particular with 80-100 good clean watts or more.Walsh 2s can ... | |
| how big a speaker can you put in an 11 x 11 room? My floor standing omni OHMS, which have the better and more extended low end, in my 12X12 rooms do not have bass issues.My Dynaudio monitors tend to be more sensitive in that area.It seems to be less of an issue with the Walsh design from my exper... | |
| What makes for a "great" turntable? Nil, I'm a big advocate of system synergy as the primary key to good sound, be it the phono rig or the whole setup. |
