| 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... | |
| What should I change "For all folks suggesting tube pre/DAC what I have experienced and heard from other knowledgable people is that although a tube amp is the most painful tube component in terms of maintenance and weight unfortunately it is also the one having the m... | |
| Can a Receiver do the work of 3 Adcom Products?? Take a look at the new 80w/ch Onkyo Class D integrated. It has received a lot of kudos and can be had new for under $500 I believe. | |
| New speakers Second the Ohm Micro Walsh Talls. | |
| 2ch Preamp Recomendations I wouldn't balk with the Classe. | |
| Should I get the Linn Katans? Buy them used and don't overpay + try them.If you don't like them, you can resell them without taking a loss. | |
| Decca vs London? "Let It Bleed" on Decca is awesome. | |
| What should I change Not familiar with Audia but ditching the ARC equipment sounds questionable to me.A tube DAC with the CDP if it has digital outputs might be a low cost, low impact change worth a try. |
