| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? What atmasphere said about effects of heat on speaker dynamics is certainly true but different speakers address that differently with different levels of effectiveness using technologies like ferrofluid, etc. Ohm is a good example of a speaker tha... | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? Diamond,That’s a function of the amp. I don’t see specs or even better test measurements like Stereophile typically does for your amp into 4 ohms? Generally the beefiest amps capable of driving the toughest loads and delivering current as needed w... | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present Modern Ohm Walsh speakers are unique looking and sounding and very inobtrusive with a fairly small footprint not much larger than the driver diameter itself. Driver size ranges from the size of a CD for smaller rooms to 12" for larger. | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? More power and headroom alone may help get bass right especially at high SPLs by avoiding clipping, but alone is most likely not a complete solution in most cases.Current delivery and related damping factor of an amp also contributes. How much wil... | |
| high end speakers are overpriced Kenjit sounds like that Grinch guy to me. Boo!!! | |
| How I'd spend money given no limits Anybody who covets mbl but either can’t afford them or lacks the proper room to set them up in should consider a pair of Ohm Walsh speakers for a fraction of the price then throw the kitchen sink at them to get the most out of them. Maybe even if ... | |

| NAD M33 Initial Thoughts Good sound is like soup: so many tasty kinds! It’s hard to settle on just one. | |
| The Johnny Cash Show on Get TV So many.....but here’s a good sample at least what I have and can recommend:Definitely “at Folsom Prison” and “at San Quentin”. Then “The Legend” box set covers a lot. Also:“The Johnny Cash TV Show”“Personal File”: JC and his guitar in your room. ... | |
| The Johnny Cash Show on Get TV Johnny is one of those genuine artists who seem to only gain in popularity as time goes on. I was about 8 years old when I discovered him. I was reading some crazy stats the other day on how many millions of hours of JC were streamed this year, in... | |
| The survival of the fittest. One other thing with Ohm is other than being located in NYC, there is nothing fancy or pretentious about their operation....very blue collar/nuts and bolts. I suspect they do a very good job of keeping the overhead low. | |
| The survival of the fittest. Atmasphere also offers products with unique design and performance that offers good value compared to many. He also seems to have a very good rap for customer service.Tekton’s strong point is offering good value products that are generally more tu... | |
| The survival of the fittest. One other very unique aspect of Ohm that helps I suspect is the patented, totally unique design and performance aspect of the Walsh products. That clearly differentiates the products from others. It helps to have something unique of value to offer... | |
| Tekton vs. Salk Sound? The thing is that once you have good sound at least in someone’s mind then the only other factor is how much do you need for your room. So I like that model in a company very much. It’s how Ohm markets their speakers. Don’t know of any others th... | |
| What sends shivers down your spine when you play it on your system? These will keep me busy looking them up for awhile. Thanks! |
