| German Physiks - A huge "wow" I own a pair of Ohm Walsh 5 Series 3 speakers and have had a similar experience as MusicDesign describes with the GP's with the Ohms.I suspect the Ohms are much cheaper and more within the price range of many on this site. If GP sounds good to you... | |

| explain bits. Ezmeralda11,I have a background more in digital imaging than in digital audio, but here goes.....I believe a 20 bit or higher converter on a 16 bit source alone, all other factors aside, would result in a smoother presentation upon output of the o... | |
