Synergistic Red Fuse ...
I have 1st 50 cd MLP box set and all ripped at original resolution to music server.   It's a wonderful sounding set with top notch sound quality overall.  The sound quality  MLP is renowned for is there in spades.  Gk once again is spouting nonsen... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
t8 you would know best. . I would expect the two to have differences in sound to go along with the different driver size,  cabs and age. That’s about it.    If gen two rather than gen one then that is a step in teh right direction IMHO.

GK you are a talking (walking I assume as well) advertisement for whatever sedation of choice others might choose.   Doesn't matter though since OP is footing the bill.

Just for the record, Gk and I are NOT like-minded.  :^) 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Interesting.The advantage of XO models (compared to other originals like 1,2,4,5) is that they are advertised easier to drive and more efficient which is certainly a factor that might influence results positively in many cases.I suspect they are l...

I think but am not certain that 4XOs are original gen 1 Walsh drivers like Walsh 2s but made a tad more efficient for easier mating to amps.I have not heard latest X000 generation but my working assumption is that most OHms gen II or later sound m...

Isn't that a form of segregation?

highstream how about this. I’ll make you happy and leave if everyone else who has listened and formed an opinion does too. Thing is if I let others chase me off, then those remaining get to further their claim (which has been made) that what is sa...

Which leads to a second observation, really a question: mapman, having come to your conclusion, why didn’t you move on? My results may or may not reflect those of others. Do yours?My mind is still open to learn. Is yours?

Atmasphere Almarg and perhaps some other respected EEs here have weighed in.     I’d offer an invitation for more EEs that might be out there to weigh in as well." Knowledge is a deadly friend If no one sets the rules. "

OP I know you are just joking but discounting engineers does not help. You’d have no sound at all in your home without them.Are you defending lack of information? 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Peter regarding the earlier charts of walsh driver alone, which surely must be different than stereophile reported results on the entire original Walsh 5 speaker, there is no data elsewhere to compare with so it is what it is. There is no way to k...

Did the multiple bouts of ugliness on this thread start with the advocates of the fuses attacking the character, motives, intent, judgement, mental competency, etc of those that choose not to use the fuses or vice versa? I’m pretty sure Geofkait ...

FWIW there is a thread here on Class D amplifiers that Glofi and I had it out on a bit recently. The difference is there the discussion remained focused on the topic at hand and there is plenty of information out there to support various positions... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Stereophile has been doing and publishing these measures for years so I would not discount them totally. peter you should talk to JS then to figure out what is going on. Or maybe someone else here with expertise in this area could comment.Obviousl...
