| History on ohm A's and F's. Jtwrace,No,unfortunately never heard MBL, so I can't compare the sound. I can compare the two designs however to some degree.They are similar in that both are inherently omnidirectional using a single yet supplemented wide range driver. The Ohms h... | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. Audiofeil,Have you heard Walsh 5 series 3? What electronics have you heard with them?I'd be curious for a comparison between 5 series 3 and properly functioning Fs if you've heard both. | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. Pedrillo,One other thing of interest is that Ohm's website indicates that newer Walsh 5 speakers, like those like the F5s in my system, can be set to sound identical to original Ohm As using a certain combination of the 4 range level adjustments o... | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. I participated in some exchanges here on A'gon threads with Dale Harder a few months back, but not recently. He seems most knowledgeable regarding what it takes to get a pure Walsh driver like those found in old A's and F's operating properly and ... | |
| Catchy tunes that sound great? Gaawdbless:Jackpot! Thanks. | |
| Gallos how good are they? "Seriously, I love my Gallo's and they are imaging fools but I am not sure they are built to hang from bungee cords."Could solve the low soundstage issue, perhaps at the lost of some low end.......I'd stick with stands probably though. | |
| Best all around speakers Timrhu,THe room is one of the BIGGEST factors for sure.Macdadtexas,Funny you say that becasue I recall the first really good systems I ever heard that caught my ear was at a dealer circa 1978. The first thing that caught my ear was a pair of Magne... | |
| speakers for classical music "They certainly do not record orchestras nowadays anywhere near as well as they did in the 50's and 60's. "There are a lot of amazing orchestral recordings from that era on original vinyl and remastered beautifully to CD. Today's recordings are a ... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please I used to be skeptical about the cable thing too. Not any more. Either my ears are better or my system more sensitive or both.One other thought I had is that power conditioning would probably only help if not already in place, especially with the ... | |
| Gallos how good are they? Pedrillo, seriously, these are all fine recommendations, but you really need to listen and decide.The thing is Ohms are sold direct only so you won't find a dealer to listen. THe choices are to find someone who has Ohm Walsh CLS drivers and listen... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Hi Rebbe,I have Audioquest CV-6 cables. The Dynaudios, which have a hot top end to start with, perhaps more so than the Arros as I recall sound a bit hot at first listen. The Ohm 5s on the CV6s currently are very laid back by nature and the spades... | |
| Gallos how good are they? HEy Pedrillo, your original question was ABOUT the Gallos, so I think you have to give the others mentioned some kind of handicap accordingly. LOL | |
| Best all around speakers Its almost like investing.....maybe never put all your eggs in one basket.....Also, I believe sharing listening time with multiple speaker designs in my house helps keep my ears unbiased. Sometimes when you hear the same thing only day after day, ... | |
| Best all around speakers So isn't the fact of the matter then that there are many speakers out there that handle a wide variety of music types well, if not perfectly in all cases?The answer to these threads about "best this, that or the other thing" always seems to come b... | |
| Best all around speakers "That's because source material is recorded and mastered using all kinds of different-sounding equipment, such that there are all kinds of variabilities in the sound of source material-"Very true. But you cant have a different system for every cas... |
