| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Coot, my 5s are limited in a manner similar to what you describe if I use my 180w/ch TAD Hibachi monoblocks in place of my Bel CAnto Ref1000ms.The TADs do pretty well with my 100s in our large open family room/kitchen area that opens up to the who... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Adding powered sub that goes down to 20 hz or so no problem and can be integrated cleanly with mains probably has the most up side if done right to throw more at the problem to increase clean output levels possible.More power and current to the am... | |

Using it to replace a cable service box for TV only at present, but I am seeing the Plex app available there. Might have to give that a try on my hifi system at some point soon. Everything appears to indi... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? COot,DEscribe your room size and any special considerations acoustically.I have run my 5s off 120, 180 and 350 and 500 w/ch 2 channel amps in my 20X30 L shaped room with standard height drywall ceiling and carpet over concrete floor. ALl these wer... | |
| VTL Verses ARC, which is better? IS VAC really better than ARC?Both are top notch whenever I hear them. Not sure how one can be said to be better than the other.ARC has been around longer, is much bigger, and a better known quantity for sure I would think.VAC is still more of a b... | |

| Selling Dynaudio c2 what next??? IF you find good Dynaudio sound overpowering, consider a pair of omni OHM Walshes perhaps. I have both and like each for their own unique traits. OHM Walsh omni presentation is more aout filling the room with sound rather than directing it at you.... | |
| Why aren't Rush fans more audiophile-natured? These days, there are many paths to good sound besides the traditional audiophile mantra.The fact that most people like music but are NOT considered audiophiles these days says a lot. Nothing special about Rush or most popular acts that says "audi... | |
