Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder
I don’t know what drivers are used, but having owned OHM Walsh speakers now since 1982, I can say they they seem virtually indestructible  and never show any sign of strain or being over driven. More so than any other comparable speaker I have own... 
Talk but not walk?
Mchael Green,You are right. Not limited to tweaks by any stretch. Esoteric or otherwise.People can buy whatever they want for whatever reason they want, real or imagined. The only thing that really matters is what matters to each in the end.   Man... 
Talk but not walk?
In some cases, like many expensive esoteric tweaks, there is little or no empirical information offered by anyone, including vendors. Why should people try that? I get it that those offered free or discounted product to try will be more inclined. ... 
Talk but not walk?
I think most folks on a site like this who are serious about getting good sound listen carefully to everything,  read up on things, and their room at home is the only  "real empirical testing ground" available.  Once the tests are successful and m... 
Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ?
Above I said:The electrons that move back and forth at certain frequencies (as determined by current voltage and resistance) in an AC current as a result of the EM wave does.   In that post I meant to say The electrons that move back and for...

As I understand it, the EM wave itself does not produce sound directly.   The electrons that move back and forth at certain frequencies (as determined by current voltage and resistance) in an AC current as a result of the EM wave does.

All the largest OhM walshes with level switches on the cans (5, 5000, and most likely these) use 12" main driver. The diameter of the can is essentially the size of the driver. 
German Physiks - Listening Impressions Wanted
The only GP I’ve heard was last November at CAF. The sound was spot on. Very neutral tonal balance and somewhat laid back perhaps but not overtly so. I believe they were using good qualiy (Veritas?) Class D amps (as I do with my OHMs) which surely...

My F5s similarly came in 6 boxes in 2008. 2 for cabinets, 2 for drivers, two for grilles. This saved much time and aggravation getting these into and set up in the room downstairs. These are big and heavy and would be harder to ship safely much le...

prof, agreed.   I currently own Dynaudio and Triangle monitor speakers as well as two pair of OHM Walsh and a few others.    
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I also find reflections behind the speakers can be beneficial. I have large sliding glass door with vertical blinds behind my F5s in my main system. Opening or closing the blinds or doors changes the soundstage and imaging but not in a negative wa... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Engine, good idea! I might have to try that next time I try using my OHMs in my second A/V system where I have 2 flat surfaces in relative close proximity to the drivers, big screen between and slightly to rear and 6’ tall audio cabinet immediatel...

Omnis project sound and deliver sound stage and imaging MORE like what occurs in live un-amplified music. That’s the unique appeal. If the actual performers were in your room, they would be affected by acoustics more similarly. The nature of the s... 
What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0(
I'm glad you have that high opinion of yourself.

Yes I easily engineered the right person to appear at the right time.
