| Ohm Walsh Talls and amplification You’ve gotten good advice from John Strohbeen.Yes they like power and current so throw as much of that at them as you can within your particular budget.Class D amps in general are a very good way to go.There is a calculator on the Ohm site to help... | |
| Are most recordings so bad it's not worth spending large on speakers? It's worth getting every detail possible out of every recording. How much it costs to do that is another story.The bottom line is these days, it need not cost much. The right pair of headphones with a common smartphone and good streaming software ... | |
| Seeking input on Larsen speakers I heard a pair briefly at Capital Audiofest last year. I liked what I heard. Their somewhat unique thing is they are omni-directional and I believe are designed to go directly up against the rear wall which may be just what the doctor ordered ... | |

| new GAN amplifier All 8 of my current class d amps are rock solid and not going anywhere but I feel good knowing that as time goes on there are more and more great sounding and cost effective options out there. | |
| The science of opinion ... @elizabeth The problem with that is unleashing unbridled censorship whenever an OP does not like a post. I would be against that. Rather, anyone, on most browsers at least, can already flag posts for deletion that violate stated Agon guidelines, l... | |
| Audio Troy Capital Audio Fest the good, the bad and the ugly! Was CAF well attended this year? Saw a video shot there and it looked dead. Could have been shot in off hours though not sure. | |
| The science of opinion ... People should stop letting others take their threads into La La Land. Best to just ignore posts from those who habitually post nonsense, spam, etc. Also spam can be reported for deletion by mods to keep the house clean. Let’s all do our part to he... | |
| Best realistic omni type speaker option? I can only vouch for the Ohms. |
