| Bigger drivers = bigger soundstage My speakers use a 12" driver, have 360 degree dispersion, a wall to wall soundstage, and can be tuned to any room large or small. They are special! Just saying. | |
| A deeper more holographic soundstage. The setups I have heard that do it well tend to have very low distortion throughout. The speakers have very wide and balanced sound dispersion and are located accordingly with proper geometry to the listening position and distance from walls to av... | |
| Ohm Walsh F Hope of Resurrection @douglas_schroeder I think we are getting into the very subjective areas of hifi here in other words different flavors all of which can be enjoyable as opposed to any inherent superior approach. No one has all the “advantages”. Personally I do see... | |
| Class D I hooked my $80 Fosi integrated amp (with Bluetooth) to a pair of kef ls50s and have been frankly flabbergasted how good it sounds. I have heard some highly regarded “audiophile” amps totally strike out with those. Just saying. Can’t go wrong f... | |
| What did your system look like 30 years ago? Ahh yea MC how did I forget to list those? Resonators....good description! We resonated quite a bit in those days. Hifi pioneers ... over the next hill we’d be home. | |
| Ohm Walsh F Hope of Resurrection I think I read on the Ohm website or somewhere that redoing the material inside the cone was one of the major barriers faced in properly restoring the Fs and a key reason why Ohm abandoned that. The original F Walsh driver was a finely tuned devic... | |
| 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? 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. | |
| Ohm Walsh F Hope of Resurrection 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... |
