| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "What do these OHM Walsh speakers look like with the black mesh can removed? Does anyone have a link?""OHM Walsh" related Google searches usually turns up some, mostly of older 1st gen models that people dissect either to try to fix or just to see... | |

| Why does most new music suck? Probably also harder than ever for most musicians to make a living, at least in the USA these days, just like it is for so many others. On the flip side, hardship has sewn the seeds of a lot of really good music over the years....... | |
