Where does fatique come from?
"grammer"Spelled "grammar".Stop fatiguing yourself! 
Swap my klipsch heresy's for Ohm walsh 2
Of course I may be a bit biased as the owner of 3 pair of OHMs, but if you were looking to swap, I think you made a good choice.If you like the OHM sound, but think it could be even better, you have the option to upgrade to a more current, truly b... 
Where does fatique come from?
BTW, this is an excellent question. The best way to a pleasant listening experience is to eliminate or minimize factors that cause fatigue. It is something that is not discussed as often as are things like tubes versus SS, vinyl versus digital, de... 
Where does fatique come from?
Maggies are well known for being "easy on the ear". They are not fatiguing at all, sound better the longer you listen, and you are seldom inclined to stop as a result of fatigue. These are planar designs that have very good transient response (low... 
PSB Speakers - Which preamp is best
I'd try a used Juicy Music Peach tube pre-amp that might be had towards the top of your range. 
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...

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.

"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!

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.

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.
