| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Marty,I agree that adding a sub and offloading work from main speakers and amps significantly reduces what is demanded from both amp and speakers in most every case, not just OHM, and if done right can only be of benefit, if one chooses to go that... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Coot,If it is the lowest notes of organ music that you are looking for, make sure your electronics, particularly pre-amp, is up to the task. I have found that to make the biggest difference with my OHMs over times.My current ARC sp16 tube pre-amp ... | |
| Why aren't Rush fans more audiophile-natured? Bee,I'm with you.I love the looks of classic cars and enjoy an occasional spin in one, but things have moved on. Same true with good sound and pretty much everything of value based on technology. | |
| From Klipsch to Zu Omen Def I've heard larger Zus just once at a local hifi show.THey were just OK for pop/rock music off a 6 watt SET amp, below par at that particular show. Sounded very nice on more smaller scale acoustic type musicZu guy in the room admitted that they wou... | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Water.Always good to keep hydrated for optimal performance. :^) | |
| Which would you choose? I always like Krell pre-amps when I hear them. VEry dynamic lively, clean, transparent.Have not heard Pass but would expect excellent results there as well, though some difference (warmer sounding perhaps?) than Krell.For a vintage system like tha... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Justin Hayward a couple weeks back. Devo next week. | |
| Is it possible to have Good Imaging close to wall Small Larsen's might be perfect for my wife's 12X12, vaulted ceiling, acoustic nightmare sunroom. It's my wife's room, so my options in there are limited.I have various speakers I have used in there that I can get to work to various degree but non... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Modern OHM Walsh design speakers are without match I find in terms of their ability to go loud and clear (with the necessary amp behind them) for teh particular size and at the particular price point of each. I think a lot of that has to do with t... | |
| Is it possible to have Good Imaging close to wall Optimal setup for OHM and Larsen is bound to be different. Larsen is clearly designed to go right up against the wall for best results, which is a very useful thing for many. OHM Walsh can go close maybe just a couple feet in most cases, but not f... | |
| 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... | |
| Is it just me or do others really miss A/D/S? I always liked ADS but plenty of other fish in the sea these days, so que sera' sera'.Tandberg and Nakamichi are the lines not around these days that I miss the most. | |
| Focal 1038 be VS B&W 802D : mid-range "I wish I lived near a Focal dealer, the times I have heard them they sound VERY clear."That's because they are VERY clean/clear sounding. Its that French sound, similar but not the same as Triangle. Its in protest to the old classic British/BBC m... | |
| Does The Squeezebox Touch Have a Worthy Successor? I have an Amazon Fire TV box in house now. 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... |
