DBX Expander
Opalchip,Nice read about the dbx gear. Thanks.The compression on the 5bx sounds useful for apartment dwellers or others that must listen to wide range recordings at lower volumes.I have a 3bx and used to have a 118 single band expander/compressor.... 
Why do dealers do this?
Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk! 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Rebbe,Any trace of too much "sound bouncing off the walls" and adversely affecting imaging? I know imaging accuracy was one of the areas that you had concerns about with the Ohms early on in your search.This is one of the areas that the newer seri... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I really think your Unico hybrid amp is practically a perfect match to bring out the best in the Ohms, so I think you will be very well set.The Ohms are one of the few low cost speaks I know that are capable of transcending their class in regards ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Yay, I'm not whacked (nuts), or if I am I'm not alone!I'm thrilled that you are thrilled so far. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I'm not certain but I don't think the smaller CLS drivers on the micros take too long to come into their own when.

Tbg + Audiofeil,Where were you guys before last nights presidential debate? McCain and Obama could have both used some witty retorts!

"The best dealer will always let you into their flagship room because that is the only place where you will get the reference you need to make the right decisions about your own system, whether it is a $2,000 system or a $10,000 system or a $50,00... 
Beatles Without George Martin?
"None of them were nearly successful as the band itself".That's because, while it lasted, the talents of each individual Beatle, including Martin, complemented the others almost perfectly.Take any of them individually, and while still uniquely gif... 
Atma-Sphere MA2 Mk2.3 / Krell KSA 250 / Passlabs?
I'm rooting that the Atmas amp works out.Good luck! 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
What Jaybo said is a good start. I think Ohm recommends separation equal distance from listening position in order to direct the tweets towards the prime listening position. If the speaks are too far apart, you can get a hole in the sound stage in... 
Favorite Speakers at RMAF
"Synergy is very important, but very difficult to achieve by the consumer unless he/she has the cash to try many combinations. "Synergy is key. Focusing on this at all times in the end will cost you less to get to a good place than otherwise. With... 
Favorite Speakers at RMAF
Ok, they look nice but pretty conventional. Lots of speakers I've heard sound equally as good, properly set up, at least from what I can tell from the description.What makes them so spectacular?Were they maybe just particularly well set up and mat... 
Beatles Without George Martin?
Martin was/is a talented guy who helped catalyze and more importantly successfully capture (in recordings)in a marketable way the combined talents of the individual Beatles. It was a unique combination of talent, collaboration and synergy that obv... 
Why do dealers do this?
"You're unlikely to find too many average audio salesmen who share your ethusiasm for demoing equipment."Too bad if true. I sold a lot of equipment years ago just by paying attention to people's needs when they walked in the store and enjoyed the ...
