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 ... | |
How I'd spend money given no limits Scenarios like this is what gives audiophiles a bad reputation. | |
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! | |
Considering McIntosh MA352 It’s a real looker, A nice hybrid design, plenty of power, and good reviews. Very nice product! Also a Mac to-boot so always a resale market. If you like it, it has the connections you need and can afford it, go for it. Should drive the Focals t... | |
Has "politically correct" killed the used audio market? Politically correct is just jargon that means caring about other people enough to watch what you might say due to desire to not offend others. Its the old “treat others like you would like to be treated yourself” thing. It’s a basic virtue related... | |
The survival of the fittest. The Ohm website says they continue to be very busy and backlogged. Ohm has quietly been around for almost 50 years now. Started out as very successful Tech HiFI house brand, then sold through other B&M chains, then direct only since the mi... | |
Women who enjoy quality speakers So we currently have a crew of 4 doing painting in our home. All women including the business owner. My wife found them. Gotta say they are doing an impressive job! Hard workers and very attentive to detail. They work hard, fast and efficiently an... | |
REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab I too have heard Krell amps and Sonus Faber speakers sound quite sublime together. A combo I could easily live with. Just saying. |
