| Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers? These would be my choice for that room in the $10K range, if available. | |
| Static electricity: Unique to Vinyl Systems? Richard, Sorry I just realized reading that the hum is no longer an issue. EMI is likely not the concern currently then. Tube issues in the phono pre would seem a likely suspect. Tube tolerance in a phono section can be problematic and only the hi... | |
| Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers? "So if you have a speaker of higher efficiency you have a much wider range of amplifiers available! "That may be true but you only need one and there are plenty to choose from.There are many ways to tackle the problem effectively. High efficiency ... | |
| My amp has no faults "The ability to listen to music comfortably at more realistic levels is THE luxury of high end."It is certainly one in my book.Getting good sound all the time at higher levels is one of the things that justifies spending a bit more on speakers tha... | |
| My amp has no faults "They like them because it is easier to get a tube amplifier to obey human hearing rules than it is with transistors. "They also look way cool! | |
| Ohm Acoustics Walsh F-5015 speakers "How is its "presentation" compared to the classic F? Is it more like the Walsh 5 class with a more powerful low end? Or does it up the ante throughout the frequency range for resolution (especially) as well as for dynamic range?"Rx, my understand... | |
| Ohm Acoustics Walsh F-5015 speakers Spacer, I see it and posted comment.IT will be interesting to see where John goes with the concept, ie if he will introduce a similar all new 5000 model with powered subs built in rather than relying on recycled F cabinets. He does do a lot of cus... | |
| David Wilson must be a little annoyed... "everything Ohm has made since is boring and quite simply average "Westborn, I think there are a lot of OHM owners, both new and old, that would disagree.I have heard Magico minis set up very well. They sounded nice for what they did, but I would ... | |
| Static electricity: Unique to Vinyl Systems? A noticeable hum in the phono when not playing could be eletromagnetic interference (EMI) caused by nearby power transformers. I had this problem recently caused by nearby outside air conditioning/heating units and other nearby electric devices wi... | |
| Slow speaker cables? There is such a thing as the high end audio "twilight zone".THings that are observed (or heard) to occur there cannot often be fully explained or quantified.But they often do seem to really exist!Its where tweaks like wire changes can be heard by ... | |
| Ohm Acoustics Walsh F-5015 speakers Spacer, problem with email is Audiogon no longer provides a way for members to correspond directly without a user posting their email address in public, which I prefer not to do. There is no special functionality on agon for a temporary virtual sy... | |
| Slow speaker cables? "Wouldn't a slower cable slow all parts of signal down, not just one part?"In a nutshell, probably not. Signal propagation of all sorts, including that associated with a wire conducting an electrical signals, is highly frequency dependent in theor... | |
| David Wilson must be a little annoyed... "Why? You already have an "ALL OUT ASSAULT" system."One can never have too many toys, right?Well, maybe expensive ones...... | |
| My amp has no faults Would high power consumption, low efficiency or generation of a lot of heat be considered a "fault"?Those are clearly measurable attributes of an amp.Not all that determines the sound heard is measurable or accounted for by specifications. Even th... | |
| David Wilson must be a little annoyed... "But I do appreciate the effort being made, and the risks taken and hope to see the downstream results of their research and development to more affordable products, either by Magico or others. "For extreme comparison/contrast, John Strohbeen at O... |
