Ohm Walsh F Hope of Resurrection
Image density? Not sure why I would want that. Omnis do location very well when set up well. As well or even better than most. Not pinpoint imaging. Maybe that’s more of a image density thing? 
Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital"
It’s a new year! Ring out the old ring in the new. Getting all hyper over hifi gear is nowhere man. Don’t worry be happy! Everybody knows this is nowhere.  A little love and affection in everything you do makes the world a better place with or wit... 
What did your system look like 30 years ago?

What did your system look like 30 years ago?
Like this in 1980 college dorm room https://photos.app.goo.gl/SyU2JPgjWauRpBC46~4th revision to my first “good” system. Hitachi sr-804 Class G receiverphilips 312 table probably an Ortofon cart of some sort back then. Maybe Audio Technica or Goldr... 
Point of higher priced streamer?
Has anyone replaced Squeezebox Touch with another streamer and noticed a big sound difference with same DAC?  If so what replaced it and what was the difference? 
Can Static Destroy Electronics?
Absolutely yes it can.  
Ohm Walsh F Hope of Resurrection
Music is a 3-d experience to various degrees live. When a 3-d soundstage is maximized as I have heard uniquely possible with omnis, it is possible to discern a lot of detail that may be lost in the congestion otherwise.

Given the difference in dispersion patterns between those two as I understand it, I would wonder if the same location can serve both best. The Fs are full omni so probably will benefit from more distance from all walls I would expect. Never heard ... 
Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital"
I had to read the article given the debate about it going on. I found that other  than stating the obvious about records being a physical object that one can interact with ( and I would add much better than CDs in that regard which is a big factor... 
Please help with Ohm MWT sound/system issues
I’d suggest using the powered subs with the MWTs for more bass impact. Ohm Walsh tend to do well with bass and overall output capability for their size compared to others but larger ones always do more if needed. Also I would point out that with o...

KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way
Also should mention that the thing that strikes me most uniquely with the Metas is the sound does seem pretty free from cabinet sonic artifacts. They don’t sound like box speakers. Neither did the ls50s for that matter.  More like open baffle, Ele... 
KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way
Happy New Year Kenjit. Bass extension could be improved. As I indicated they need a sub for full range. Maybe in a larger room the little guys would show more limits. I have no plans to try and replace my larger Ohms in the next room with these th... 
KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way
Happy New Year all. I think after spending many hours with the new metas I can summarize and wrap things up by saying yes all the stuff you read about these ring  true.  For me they still need a sub so no shocker there but once you cover that and ...

I won’t buy from SR.  Don’t care for the company.
