| Anybody hear Murano ICE amps? ICEPower amp circuits are an integrated component from B&O for OEM amp vendors. THis is a pretty earth-shattering and radical departure from the past in the way that electronic amplifier components are built and distributed by suppliers.Given ... | |
| Mercury Living Presence As a avid audio/music fan, perhaps even audiophile, I'm increasingly becoming aware that despite the inherent dynamic range advantages of digital recording, compression is becoming more and more the norm with modern recordings due to mass marketin... | |
| Mercury Living Presence Mrmitchnot sure I know what series/line you are referring to exactly by "shaded and WHite Dogs".Can you elaborate?Thanks. | |
| What are the treasures in your vinyl library? I have an import London pressing of The Stones "Let It Bleed". Very nice! Probably far and away the best Stones recording I have in any format. | |
| Mercury Living Presence I've found the MLP CDs I've heard to have a distinct timbre that is perhaps "brighter" than most modern good recordings, but I also find the recordings to be very smooth and dynamic and not "overly bright". I've always associated this distinct tim... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? MWr0707,I bet your FRS-11's are not on castors. If so, maybe consider putting them on castors in order toenable you to reposition the speakers easily if desired for optimal listening at a particular room location, if the speakers cannot reside the... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Dale,Thanks so much for the info! it all sounds right to me!I'm also hoping that your project, which is obviously the result of a knowledgeable guy with a passion who is on to something, receives much more attention down the road. I would love to ... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Good catch! If you're hearing a difference with the covers off, definitely change the fabric.Try your local fabric store. I re-did the fabric on my old Walsh 2's myself once, mainly because the original fabric had worn and I wanted to change the c... | |
| Where's the best place for used audio gear in NYC? Ohm Acoustics has a small showroom I believe at their facility in Brooklyn. They do a lot of refurbishing of older models with newer technology. Never been there, but I own 3 pairs of their speakers and have had their facility on my radar to visit... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? MWr0707,I used to sell many of Ohms non-Walsh dynamic models years ago, including the E, L, C2, and H. Unfortunately, the shop I worked in never got a pair of As or Fs so I never heard these. I still have and enjoy my Ls that I've had now for ~ 30... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Maybe a slight adjustment with speakers slightly closer together and maybe a touch farther out from the wall, if possible like below?The "more restrained" upper midrange may just be the nature of the 200s timbre. having never heard Fs, its hard fo... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Mwr0707, do you recall if the soundstage of the F's was located primarily behind the speakers when listening straight on axis like the CLS series 3 drivers?Maybe there is a difference here that you perceive as "more restrained" upper midrange?With... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Tonal balance will vary with location based on room acoustics as is the case with any speaker. All rooms are different and affect sound differently. I think I can say with confidence that the best results with tonal balance is most likely to occur... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? MWr0707,One thing I'm realizing with the Ohms is that I think an easy and sound way to determine best placement is to think of your room as a concert hall and identify where in the room you would place the performers in the room if they were playi... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? With both my Walsh2 S3's in a 12X12 room and my f5 S3's in an L shaped ~27X20 foot room, I've found the soundstage and imaging is best defined with the speakers at least 2-3 feet away from any wall (proportionally further in a larger room perhaps)... |
