| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? BTW if newer OHm Walsh speakers do not sound "good" its not because of the parts or build quality. More likely a combo of the stuff upstream feeding them and room acoustics. OR something defective or damaged perhaps. Fact is I throw the kitchen si... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? parasound 1500A: Continuous Power Output - Stereo: 205 Watts RMS x 2, 20 Hz-20 kHz, 8 Ω, both channels driven 315 watts RMS x 2, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 4 Ω, both channels driven Specs say 60 w peak current which sounds good but I suspect much less on a... | |

| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I do have in teh back of my head that powered subs + smaller speakers and smaller amp, like in my second system, could potentially surpass even my other bigger badder rig currently. If so I could downsize somewhat sell stuff and save a lot of mone... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I very much like the idea of smaller speakers/monitors (on isolation platforms) placed on top of powered subs. Reduces need for amp power and current greatly if mains are high pass filtered. You have to integrate the two yourself but if done right... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Good point that cabinet volume is a main factor in producing deep bass. Smaller speakers ("short" version of OHMs are much smaller cabs and more limited in bass extension) will always need help to deliver the lowest octaves. Size matters when... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Another way to look at it:With Ohm Walsh if you have 8" drivers or larger in your speakers already being driven by a high power high current amp that will never come close to breaking a sweat (Class D or otherwise) you already have the equipment n... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I have felt no real need for subs with either of my OHMs running off 500 w/ch Bel Canto ref1000m amps in matched volume rooms:100 series 3 driver (8") in smaller rooms5 series 3 driver (12") in any size roomSubs are a good way to max out sound of ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I agree the more clean power and current with the ohms the better. Whether one needs it or not is a different story. Personally id always go with more clean power and current for the most fun. Js used a high power newer Peachtree amp to demo t... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? No experience with those particular amps but your plan is a sound one.I'd start with the 90 w/ch arcam and see how that sounds first then if still desired 250w/ch or more of good quality Class D meaning robust power supply and high current deliver... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I less well fit the mold of a traditional audiophile these days. Class D amps, digital streaming, and high quality low cost DACs, even headphones (if those are enough to float ones boat alone) available these days makes better sound available more... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I usually have no problem finding good sounding stuff at Capital Audiofest when I go just most of it costs way too much for good sound and lots of it is very esoteric in design. Lots of pretty bling though and always fun to hear so many nice new t... | |
| Benchmark Dac3 Shadorne from what l've read my guess is you have the right expectations going in. Keep us posted. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? My thoughts on limited range walsh drivers is it makes more sense for omnis to cover lower frequencies that are inherently less directional. Also rear and side radiating omni drivers require more distance from walls to avoid early reflections... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks Reb. My aunt raised her family in a very small formerly thriving coal mining town north of Harrisburg Pa. She was my mothers younger sister and the two of them always looked out for each other. Her youngest son and I grew up together an... |
