| Curved and Straight Tonearms Either can sound very good if matched to the rest and set up properly I believe but personally I’ve always had better luck with straight tonearms. But in practice fact of the matter is I’ve never had results with S arms like with straight and most... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I have Triangle Titus monitors I use in my second system in addition to various OHMs. These are most "detailed" in teh higher frequencies in particular. They have limited bass response below 55hz or so and do their thing best only with certain hig... | |
| the most underrated 33 1/3 in history? Comverting "Black and Blue" vinyl to digital. Underrated Stones album. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Tweeters are angled 45 degree in with normal Ohm Walsh floorstanders and do not provide direct exposure with most listening locations by design. Orienting to have the tweets more directly face the listening position is not necessary imho but doe... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? BE careful. The Ohm Walshes in particular tend to be pretty robust in my experience but amp clipping puts any speaker at risk of being damaged. I’d go easy until the new amps arrive. I predict the new amps and OHMs may just blow you away (in a g... | |
| Some of my favorite songs are...... He's Old Enough to Know Better - The CricketsJust Like Heaven - The Cure | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Aren’t 4XO’s larger than 2.2000 as well? That + higher efficiency would definitely make them different and probably more adept at bass in a larger room with more amps. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Cute little buggers. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bondman,I would not expect partial obstruction above the driver to be an issue in practice given that the driver does not produce the higher frequencies ie the more directional ones that can be more easily absorbed, reflected or diffused. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? When you look at the insides of the "cans", it all makes sense. JS kinda looks like a mad scientist so its only proper that his designs kinda resemble the speaker equivalent of Frankenstein. To top it all off he found a way to be able to use wh... | |
| 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... | |
| Tell Us about an Album That Took a Long Time to Grow on You Deloused In the Comatorium by Mars Volta. | |
| 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... |
