| History on ohm A's and F's. Csommovigo,How do the GP Unicorns do with high SPLs compared to the Ohm Fs or As?Also how much do they cost? | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. "Next: The Peter Dicks driver parts ways with the Ohm driver in several ways. First of all, it was modeled more accurately."There is no doubt that modern (1980s and later) Computer Aided Design (CAD) technologies would provide a means of producing... | |
| A few more Ohm questions Both my Ohm Walsh speakers show no signs of stress at any decibel level I play them that. Many reviewers have pointed out this particular strong point of the design.If there was a problem with a particular pair going loud as they should, I would e... | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. "Curiously - to say that the DDD is a variation of a Walsh driver (as described in LW's patent), in a fashion, to say that the Blackhawk helicopter is a variation of a drawing of a flying machine by DaVinci. While the DaVinci is certainly elegant ... | |
| A few more Ohm questions Best to talk to John.Get a specific recommendation from him to fit your needs then bounce it back here if you like for more feedback.One thing to keep in mind is that larger models can achieve better "room fill" in larger rooms but you will probab... | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. One other question I had was is it accurate to say that the lower frequencies with all of these designs are produced "pistonically" while the upper frequencies are produced by bending waves?If so, then the Ohms must rely less on wave bending becau... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Tvad,Yes, it does apply similarly to most cone speakers without a doubt. Some drivers take longer than others to "break in" physically or equivalently "open up" sonically, that's all.In the case of Ohms larger drivers take more time than smaller o... | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. Csommovigo,Sounds like a reasonable accounting of the similarities and differences to me. Thanks.IS it accurate to say that the different designs all operate on similar principles despite the fact that the implementation of each is significantly d... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? In general I think they "open up" further in terms of weight and impact and become more "natural sounding" and detailed in particular through the mid range covered by the Walsh style driver. | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. On all counts? Maybe. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Rebbe,You certainly have nothing to lose by giving the comparison more time. The Arros are very good speakers, as are all Totems I've ever heard...they are supposed to sound as you now describe them. I'm guessing using the spikes now if you weren'... | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. I would also add the the Walsh portion of the newer Ohm CLS drivers also operate on the same bending wave principle.That doesn't mean that old Ohm Walsh, newer CLS and GP DDD drivers necessarily sound the same. I am certain that they do not just l... | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. The difference in basic operating principle between the DDD driver and the Walsh driver on original Ohm F and As is not apparent to me. The drivers are different sizes and cover different frequency ranges for sure, but both seem to operate similar... | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. I think the Ohms were both bending wave and pistonic using a voice coil and foam surround.Sounds like the drive mechanism for the DDD is different as described by Csommovigo as like "striking a bell", but honestly the exact difference is not clear... | |
| Favorite Speakers at RMAF Macrojack, looks are not that important for me with audio equipment either but it is important for many.So what's wrong with that? If a good looking piece floats someone's boat, more power to them! Equipment appeal is mostly a psychological thing ... |
