| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Jpaik,What you describe with Morrisons is very similar to the Ohm experience.Ohm describes their Walsh wide-range drivers as a "Coherent Line Source", not a point source, though I think the difference here is marginal.Ohm wide-range Walsh driver o... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please KN,I think there is a lot of validity and insight to the assertions on the Morrison site regarding nature of recordings and stereo playback. I would still assert though that recordings are what they are in regards to how miked, mixed etc. Good ste... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Jpaik,Never heard of Morrison speaks before.Their web site has a nice accounting of the omni imaging experience compared to conventional designs. From that I would expect some similarities to Ohm , Dueval, German Physiks, MBL and the like, no? | |
| dbx 3bx series 2 question Thanks for the info Dave. | |
| Okay......best single box reference CD player What's unique about how the Boulder reads CDs and is it measurable somehow outside of subjective listening? | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Knownothing, a few things I can add:Micro walshes were the first "series 3" model released I believe and all micro walshes are series 3. As I understand it from John Strohbeen, Ohm owner and principal Walsh series designer, the difference between ... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Well, you probably have a win scenario at this point no matter which way you go. You obviously know what your looking for when you hear it. | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please The Vandy's are not a conventional box design. The Ohms and Vandies share a couple of characteristics I can think of. First, driver surfaces are decoupled from the cabinets. Second, both strive for phase coherence, Ohm by using a single driver for... | |
| Ohm Walsh old vs. Microwalsh new Dogue,Any news, have things settled in for you yet? | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Knownothing,I was wondering if you know whether the Ohms you heard were original (series 1 which first arrived in the early 80's), series 2, which I think started in the early-mid 90's through ~ 2005 or 2006, or series 3, which have only been avai... | |
| NAD C372 & Gallo Ref 3.1 Does "ballsy" mean a lot of punch in a relatively small and perhaps less expensive box?If so, I'd say many amps from NAD and Musical Fidelity and class D amps in general are ballsy. Many MF and class D amps actually do double in power like their m... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Rebbi,My pleasure. Again, as I stated earlier, Ohms are not for everyone, which is a shame.Was at my favorite local dealer yesterday auditioning CD players. Heard a pair of nice Usher monitors ($2-3 grand I believe) on Cambridge Audio 840c, Audio ... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Imaging/location may or may not be an issue. The imaging is different than that from box dynamic designs. That alone could be an issue for many.Sound from omnis (and Ohms) emanate and interact with the room much more like sound does in a live perf... | |
| Musical Fidelity A5 CD player - long Nice review.Thanks.I've been most pleased with my first MF piece, an A3CR amp and would give strong consideration to their CD players also as a result.Heard any newer players, MF or otherwise recently worth a mention? | |
| Review: Denon DCD-1560 CD Player It ain't the sexiest player out there, but I love my Denon nonetheless for its sound. I bought it new about 3 years back to replace a Cal Audio Icon MKII based on mass positive reviews on various web sites having a comfort level with Denon product... |
