| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? 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?? Just read the Stereophile review of the Wavac.Man, I gotta get me a pair of these babys!Just not quite sure how!!!!! | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? 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... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? 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. ... | |
| Why so expensive?? 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. | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? 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... | |
| Need speaker suggestions Looking for an very efficient 90Db+ speaker as Chadnliz suggests sounds like a prudent approach in this case. | |
| Need speaker suggestions 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 ... | |
| Need ideas for replacing a Tandberg receiver. Although solid state, the Tandberg does have a very warm, almost tube like quality compared to most other vintage receivers. Maybe that explains it's affinity with the Triangle Titus's. | |
| Need ideas for replacing a Tandberg receiver. Rar1,Thanks for the info on the Outlaw.I worked at the TEch 1980 Hifi in New Brunswick, NJ while attending Rutgers circa 1978-80. That store sold mostly refurbished units. I almost spent a summer in the Village and had thoughts of trying to get in... | |
| Need ideas for replacing a Tandberg receiver. Rar1, I think your comment about accuracy of modern speakers is largely true, with perhaps a few exceptions. I used to sell both TAndberg and Marantz (and most other popular receivers of the late 1970s) working at TEch Hifi in the NYC area. I like... |
