| Are the new Ohm Walsh speakers Audiophile quality? Could be. Try it and see. Some designs aim their drivers up down and all around trying to achieve that effect. See the Ohm I, a predecessor to the Walsh CLS design for an example. | |
| Your system quality vs. recording quality Yes I have recordings dating back to the 1920s of all kinds in my library and I find almost all of them interesting and enjoyable in different ways because my system lets me by keeping added noise and distortion out of the picture and just delive... | |
| MBL 101 (~1990) - amp suggestions. I’d lean towards matched mbl amps for large mbl speakers if cost not an issue. That’s what dealers use. But otherwise in general you want a beefy amp with lots of power and current. I have very efficient BEl Canto ref 1000m Class D amps that might... | |
| Your system quality vs. recording quality Another thing is if you’re system is in the zone and you actually like music most recordings will draw you in not chase you away. If not then two possibilities are something needs to change and/or maybe you don’t like music as much as you think yo... | |

| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way Klipsch sw308. | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way I’ve had Dynaudio Contour 1.3 mkII in the same 12x12 room as the ls50s. Different sound. Dynaudio was a tad warm and could lean towards a tad bright in some cases. Bass was more extended. I didn’t use a sub with them. I do use sub with ls50s. ... | |
| When was the first time that you heard great sounding speakers? Klipsch and Magnepan 1976 at Groove N Tube Lancaster, Pa. | |
| Can an “audiophile” ever be satisfied with a system? Why not? The answer is yes. | |
| Your system quality vs. recording quality Recordings are what they are. The big audiophile money hole is thinking the right system will make everything sound wonderful. It won’t. It can only give you more of what’s there and what’s there can vary from horrific to mesmerizing. If most re... | |
| Why so obsessed with bass? Meghan Trainor started it. I blame her. |
