Bondman, I’ve never heard OHM Fs. How did what you heard compare to what you get at home?

Its true that ribbon tweeters and folded ribbon tweeters are two different though related things.That’s about as much as I know about it other than that folded ribbon tweeters tend to be more directional than domes and I’ve heard really good sound...

I've seen those on Ebay.   VEry cool. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?

I’ve heard Boulder amps once, with larger very nice Avalon speakers.It had a unique intriguing midrange detail and presence, like some ARC and VAC and Atmasphere amps I’ve heard. My audition was short so just an initial impression.I don’t know wha...
