Why Do Schumann Resonators Work?
Ah the old “50 bucks is beggar change on this site so don’t sweat it” pitch.  Works every time!   
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
So with the Ohm Walsh design, if you want more air and high order harmonics, you might want to orient them so the tweeters provide more direct exposure at your primary listening position. Soundstage will likely narrow a bit that way as opposed to ...

Yee ha! 
Something For The Fuse Guys ...
I nominate OP as the chief fuse guy. He is always the first to break the news here about the next best fancy fuse. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I’ve heard the GPs. Very nice but voiced different. The DDD Walsh driver does the higher frequencies but not the lower. Higher frequencies are inherently more directional than low and they need a lot of distance from walls accordingly like mbl so ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Overdriving is possible if speakers are way too small to do what’s desired, but I suspect you would have to go to very uncomfortable volumes in most rooms to cause damage from having them go too loud, assuming the amp is up to the task. Clipping i...

The big shocker will be if it turns out to be a very affordable Littelfuse. 
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... 
Why Do Schumann Resonators Work?
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...
