| 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)... | |
| What am I missing using a 20 year old CD player?? Good point psacanli.No point in investing in really good equipment without first assuring good power conditioning! | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? I wonder if anyone out there has ever tried to custom-build a 2-way, downward firing OHM CLS-like design using conventional drivers where the bass driver sits on top of the enclosure and fires downward, and if so what were the results? Has any own... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? I found a wikipedia entry for Lincoln Walsh to help answer some of my own questions.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_WalshIt provides some info regarding the relationship between Lincoln Walsh, his speaker designs, and others including Ohm and... |
