Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Rebbe,Its funny that I listened to a good mastering of "Gaucho" on CD on a pair of Quad electrostats at a local dealer when I was auditioning speakers prior to getting the newer Ohms and it was one of those 10/10 golden listening experiences where...

How about Holst's "The Planets" performed by Dutoit and Montreal Symphony on Penguin Classics? 
Need to replace my Totem Acoustic Arros
Are you using only 20-30 watts with the Arro's?That sounds underpowered to me. When I heard Arro's they were surprisingly power hungry for such a small design. They seemed to thrive on 100w/ch and more. 
Tube Amp Recommendation for a solid state guy
Do you use mostly CD or vinyl as well?If your source is primarily digital, a tube DAC may be the least expensive way to get what your looking for.For under $500, you might pick up a MHDT Paradisea used. The stock GE tube or trying other substitute...

RMAF 2008 - Your impressions,...
Aren't horn speakers particularly sensitive in the sense that small differences in the system driving them and setup in the room can have a larger effect on the sound in general than less sensitive speakers?Given this, I would think it hard to tak... 
Preamp recommendations up to $2000
Tvad,Thanks.Keep the thoughts coming.The Peach is high on my consideration list for next pre-amp in my system at some point. 
Preamp recommendations up to $2000
Tvad,What are your impressions compared to other Preamps you are familiar with?What do you think a Peach would do for my system? 
Preamp recommendations up to $2000
Tvad, The switchable output impedance settings is intriguing to me.How is the detail and imaging accuracy with each?Does it have a phono pre-amp built in that can take a low out MC cart?Also, how many outputs does it provide? Can it support a proc...
