Ohm Speakers, thoughts?
MWR0707,The f-5 series 3s are in approx. a 27X20 foot inverted "L"shape room as sketched below with a thinly carpeted solid concrete floor. I do not measure decibels, but I like music to be played at realistic sound levels, including rock music. I...

Line,I can claim similar results regarding driving the Walsh 5 S3 and Walsh 100 S3 drivers to high volumes with my system. Never a hint of stress or strain!This is just a theory, but since the Walsh drivers take a while to break in to best sound, ...

Ohm does a lot of different tweaks to all their various models that they've produced over the years. They do almost anything in regards to customizing and upgrading in order to best suit specific customers needs. This is much different and complex... 
Why so expensive??

Ohm is not a big shop. Wouldn't surprise me if they get backlogged from time to time.With my Walsh 5's, I was told I would have them before they close for the summer (they close for the month of July) if I got my order in two weeks in advance + th...

I wouldn't change anything until fully broken in. My W5's took a good 3 months, including several sessions running them full out with a 300W/ch amp! My Walsh 2s (100 drivers) were acquired used, and were fully broken in. I use them for reference. ...

What was the model # and manufacturer of the $350000 amp again?What speakers is this used with?How big is the room it is used in?What is the sensitivity of the speakers used?Not that any of this really matters for me. I doubt I could afford to eve... 
Review: Denon DL 103R Cartridge
Correction: the pre-amp is a Carver c-6, not c-9.

Mwr0707, I would agree with your comments regarding room acoustics and the benefits of the 'realistic" sound produced by the Ohm Walsh Series 3 drivers. It sounds like your drivers may not be fully broken in yet from your description, in which cas... 
Room size for Cornwalls?
Shadorne is on the right track regarding good sound in a small 12X12 room. 
Room size for Cornwalls?
Get what you think you like. That's all that really matters.I have two 12X 12 rooms with audio systems. I use Dynaudio Conour MkIIs in the one with normal height ceilings with gvery ood effect. I've used Ohm Walsh 2's with the latest series 3 driv... 
Need speaker suggestions
Maybe a pair of refurbished and upgraded Ohm L's? The efficiency rating on these is 89Db. They work well with low power electronics. They are front ported easy to place, and work well near walls and corners. Also not expensive. You might pick up a...

Looking for an very efficient 90Db+ speaker as Chadnliz suggests sounds like a prudent approach in this case.

I'd say if you like the Vandersteens, why not give them a try. Pick up a second hand pair on ebay or audiogon. If they don't work out, you could sell what you have and try another enhancement from there. Keep swapping stuff in and out within your ...
