Why Do Schumann Resonators Work?
Here we go again with another fun round of everyone’s favorite game show: "Audiophiles Can Never Agree?#$*@!". This one is way more cosmic than usual. 
Why Do Schumann Resonators Work?
Does the flashing light mean it is working or it is trying to work?  Big difference. 
Why Do Schumann Resonators Work?
There is nothing wrong with reaching conclusions by conjecture if that is all there is. Just be aware of how the conclusion was reached. con·jec·ture/kənˈjekCHər/an opinion or conclusion formed on the basis of incomplete information.So the way it ...

References to support claims of benefits would help. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
If they work it's a good deal.  If not the cabs look like they could likely be used for trade in value sent straight to Ohm, but keep track of shipping costs and check with Ohm to be sure.  The hoods are easy to redo with new fabric ( I redid my o...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schumann_resonances Interesting thread but it seems that any relationship between Schumann resonance and better sound is pure conjecture. 
Warm Class D for horns?
I also have two Bel Canto Class D amps that use more recent and prior generation Icepower modules.    I've used them with various speakers.   I love them to death.  I would not call them inherently warm.   Maybe a tad with some speakers like the D... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I have my 100s (8" driver in Ohm Walsh 2 cabs, same as 2000s I think) in a decent sized open concept family room with adjacent kitchen and the rest of the first floor open and adjacent to that. Amp is 60w/ch. This is my "second system" so I am wil... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Yes, and having been in Carnegie Hall listening and knowing that, I would say he does a very good job. Of course, that is the reference sound but actual perspective at home will vary case by case based on the room and listening position relative t... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
My ls50s are in a small 12X12 room with a powered sub. I would not use them in a large room.My 8" and 12" Ohms are both in much larger rooms. Tweets in the standard design are angled in 45 degrees and cross well in front of my usual listening posi... 
Warm Class D for horns?
I have a Fosi bluetooth Class D amp I use in a small A/V system that cost $85.  It's outright amazing within its limits.   Its the size of a pack of cigarettes and ~ 40w/ch.  My  Boston  A40s never sounded better.  Is the sound a touch "warm"? Per... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
The overall presentation is radically different between Magnepan and Ohm Walsh as described including treble. My newer Ohms replaced Magnepans and I have run them at the same time off the same system but in different rooms as many popular brands, ... 
Amazon just killed Tidal
 I use Plex and Squeeze in my house currently.  Also Plex for remote access.I'd like to see Plex integrate.  If Roon integrates I might consider that.Thing is I read Roon does not provide remote access which I use a lot so Plex will not go away un... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I'd say the review was pretty spot-on. 
Amazon just killed Tidal
I’m a prime subscriber and most of my work is with AWS these days, so I am going to have to give this a whirl sometime soon.I would attempt to run it on my Amazon Fire box and definitely on various ios devices I already own. I already use those wi...
