| 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... | |
| Amazon just killed Tidal This apparently has Neil Young’s blessing and he says this is big for the future of music, so there you go. A big player like Amazon streaming hi-rez audio? I’ve been waiting for that to happen. He’s probably right.This will be like a baby boom fo... | |
| Amazon Launches Lossless "Hi-rez" HD Music Service Interesting development. | |
| Any monitors clearly better than Pulsars? Anyone ever heard a shootout between Fritz and Joseph monitors? They are both really good, two of my favorites, but different whenever I hear them. Does it come down to a matter of personal preference? Fritz seems to have the "easy load" bases cov... | |
| Ohm FRS-15 v. Ohm Walsh 2 Sorry to hear that. I run my 100s which are also upgrades to original Walsh 2s off a 60 w/ch Bel Canto c5i imtegrated. 60’watts gets them to a decent volume but not concert level like my other amps with my bigger Ohm Walsh (500 w/ch Bel Canto ref1... | |
| Is soundstaging emblematic of reality? I don’t know about the clock but the schpiel about it is very clever. | |

| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 The Joseph audio speakers are always among those I enjoy most at shows. Soundstage imaging and detail always seems uniquely good but they do tend to be smaller than most for the price. That's a good thing for those with space limitations which ... | |
| Is soundstaging emblematic of reality? Music occurs in 4 dimensions like everything else so the answer can only be yes. |
