| What is your favorite recording with a quirck "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" by Van Der Graaf Generator is one big 20 minute quirck. | |
| Preamp recommendations up to $2000 Tvad,I'd be very interested in your observations on the Juicy Music pre. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? ...and, one of the most important facts, one can try the Ohms out in your own listening room risk free to hear what they bring to the table. I think anybody looking to plunk down mega-bucks on a pair of speakers (many on this site) would be well s... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Arro's shouldn't sound "flat". That should get better with break-in I expect.I've heard Arro's but never a/b'ed them concurrently with Ohms. I think the Arros should do extremely well with imaging (for a standard box design) at least at the sweet ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? " Well, if any of you guys want to give my arro's a good home"Sorry, but I/m not looking to replace my Ohms.Otherwise, for a smaller room, Arro's would be on my short list.Rebbe, seriously, obviously only you know what satisfies you. Same with any... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "Jaybo, whether the Arros will dramatically change to resemble the Micro Talls or not, you must agree that 10 hours on any speaker is insufficient time on which to base a judgment on their performance."I would agree also.One thing I would say with... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Rebbe,Live and learn. We've all taken some financial hits I think over the years one way or another with this hobby.Next time, in order to mitigate the risk of potentially taking a loss, consider either buying used first (so you can sell without t... | |
| DBX Expander I don't hear those issues with it either. Impact restoration would be an interesting enhancement to try, though impact of percussion is certainly improved significantly just through expansion as is with the 3bx S2. Percussion has startled me and m... | |
| DBX Expander Frzninvt,Great information. Thanks!I have a 3BX series II I picked up for a couple hundred about a year back on Ebay that I think is worth its weight in gold when a particular recording needs it. How is that similar or different from the others? | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Sounds like a shootout is in order! | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I've confirmed with my system that 100s and Walsh 5s sound mostly the same in a small to moderate sized room.If you do not have bass deficiencies, there is no reason to go larger in a room of a particular size. Larger rooms will benefit in bass an... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? The ones to truly thank are Lincoln Walsh for coming up with the basic principle that the Ohms realize back in the 1960s and John Strohbeen for delivering cost effective, high performance, robust and well supported implementations of Walsh's desig... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "the room is full of sound now, and the imaging is precise'"Bingo!Very cool! | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Rebbe,I know you never sounded totally thrilled with the Totem Arros.I don't know of anything conventional that can definitively beat or out-class them in that price range other than the Ohms though.Glad it all worked out! | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? The Ohm website is the best source for pricing info as mentioned.I believe the range for new speaks with standard cabinet finishes is ~ 1000 for micros for smaller rooms to about $6000 for 5's that can be adjusted for either large, medium or small... |
