| Integrated for Vienna Acoustics Haydn For solid state, you probably can't go wrong with the Musical Fidelity.For best results, look for something efficient where the power output doubles from 8 to 4 ohms.I've heard good things about Prima Luna tube integrateds and know at least 1 pers... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? I'm open for suggestions about how one recording medium can be more or less soulful than another?I've heard many good and bad recordings with "soul" on both vinyl and CD.I think the answer may lie more in the field of psychology rather than techno... | |
| Good, Affordable Horns? Jaybo, The Ohms are keepers. I have Dynaudio Contour 1.3 mk II's in the room where I would consider horns. I haven't crossed the horn bridge yet, but if I were to, the Dynaudios would probably have to go to help finance them. The problem is I real... | |
| Good, Affordable Horns? Marco, thanks so much for the info! | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 5 Series 3 Speaker Csommovigo,I may get in trouble for speculating here about Walsh drivers, but oh well you only live once...I am not expert enough to comment on the waveform issue. I can confirm that I am older (under 50 though) and I did not hear anything at 2000... | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 5 Series 3 Speaker Csommovigo,I will have to try and come by and catch a glance and listen!Thanks. | |
| Good, Affordable Horns? I've examined some of the options suggested and, if I were to do this, I think I would go the classic/vintage route perhaps with used Klipschorns in the corner in the 12X12 foot room where the Dynaudios are today.I am still concerned though about ... | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 5 Series 3 Speaker Mamboni,For a couple hundred or maybe less, you can pick up a used dbx range expander on ebay. I'd recommend a 3bX (three range expander) or better. My 3bX series 2 can take the Ohms up to even yet another level in terms of dynamics! Compressed re... | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 5 Series 3 Speaker Csommovigo,The current Ohm's use a two way driver, not three, as I understand it. There is a separate tweeter for the high end but not a separate woofer. A single driver handles the midrange and everything below.The Ohm A's and Ohm Fs were the fir... | |
| Good, Affordable Horns? wwwrecords, the near-field monitor idea has always had appeal for me in this room. I'll look into it.Jax2, I'm definitely looking for some "horn magic" in order to replace what I have. The SET/horn combo would seem to be the place to land eventual... | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 5 Series 3 Speaker Richinny,I bought the super 2's used here on a'gon prior to the Walsh 5 investment in order to try out the waters first. I had them set up optimally in my main 12X12 listening room for several months in order to judge what they brought to the tabl... | |
| Good, Affordable Horns? Another thing I am afraid of is that any horn loaded design will blast me out of the room right out of the gate with my current amp, a 150 w/ch SS Musical Fidelity.This horn thing is starting to sound more and more like not such a good idea in my ... | |
| Good, Affordable Horns? I've gotten some good leads from this thread. Thanks.My concern with most of the horn loaded designs I've seen in my price range will be bass. I don't think I would be happy replacing any speaker pairs I have with anything horn loaded that did not... | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 5 Series 3 Speaker I was reading a Stereophile review of the original (series 1) Walsh 5 speaker/driver from 1987 that I had not come across before last night. The reviewer of the older Walsh 5's felt there were some midrange colorations with those speakers that neg... | |
