Sorry, meant D-Sonic, not M. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
YEs, those pics have come up on another thread about M-Sonic. ITs still not clear if that is what is being used by M-Sonic currently or not though.Only the vendor or a customer who has purchased recently would be able to say for sure.It really wou... 
'Holographic Sound Stage?'
Funny, The setup I heard years ago in Jim Smith's old Audition store in Birmingham Alabama with Magnepans was one of the best ever, including holographic soundstage. Speakers were well out into the middle of the room, well away from walls.Maybe th... 
'Holographic Sound Stage?'
I have pairs of speakers in 5 rooms off two different source systems and get a holographic sound stage to varying degrees with each. It mostly has to do with how well set up the speakers are in the room for holographic sound. Setups in only two of...

Is soundstage just a distortion?
"I would assume that the acoustic effects of the pinnae (the part of the ear that is outside of the head) are a major contributor to the effect I described. "I see. Could be the shape of the ear is a factor, larger area above to gather more higher... 
Is soundstage just a distortion?
Al,Are you able to rule out the room acoustics in your tests as a factor?That would seem to be a logical explanation for hearing different test tone frequencies at different heights. Anything about your room's acoustics that might account for it? ...

No but a big EB fan here and will have to check this out. 
Will either of the speakers work in 17X17 room.
"Having heard the MBL 101e in a big room I really wanted them to work. .....If i just had a few more feet in both directions...."You and me both! As much as I like mbl, I would be hard pressed to justify the extra expense. My large OHMs are a perf... 
Will either of the speakers work in 17X17 room.
If you like the mbl and room size is an issue, maybe smaller more monitor size mbl may work or again maybe consider the OHMs. GUaranteed one of the OHMs will be rightsized for that room, and they are designed to be able to go closer to walls than ... 
Is soundstage just a distortion?
The question about soundstage height is a good one.I am pretty sure this is more attributable to the playback system and room acoustics than how the source is recorded in that I do not think two channel stereo format is suitable for capturing heig... 
Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice.
C'mon, lot's of nice voices and talent mentioned, but none of these more unusual than Eartha Kitt, right?I'd say pretty uniquely mesmerizing as well. 
Will either of the speakers work in 17X17 room.
mbl 101e bass was fine, "tight and controlled", articulate detailed, etc. when I heard them , but audition room was fairly large and well tuned acoustically. I would have some concern they might be a bit much in the bass in a 17X17 room out of the... 
Greatest Composers of All Time
this would be me sitting in the horn section playing Mahler's 3rd 
Greatest Composers of All Time
If I were a classical horn player, I'd aspire most to play in a performance of Mahler's third symphony !I understand the perspective but would tend to disagree that the greatest composers wrote all forms. In the case of Mahler, for example, I reca...
