| Is there a perfect speaker? Nothing is perfect. So neither are speakers.Practically, the sound coming from a speaker might be said to be "perfect" when the listener thoroughly enjoys what they hear without reservations. After, all the speakers job is to deliver pure musical ... | |
| Recommendation on soft dome bookshelfs under $1K Johnny,Gotta agree the Aon3 looks like a pretty refined big hitter at its price. Will be seeking out an audition of those sometime soon. | |
| Machina Dynamica Look, the Cosmonium did make Dr. Smith's stone monument/statue he made of himself come to life! Then it wanted more to stay alive! Gotta love Irwin Allen!Oh the pain, the pain!!!! | |
| Machina Dynamica Maybe Coconut is Geoff's high-rent alter ego? One sale there = many MD sales. | |

| Machina Dynamica Dr. Smith found some brilliant pebbles of sorts on lost in space once. I think t was called cosmonium. Turned out he was scammed. | |
| Recommendation on soft dome bookshelfs under $1K I live right up the street from Goldenear. My first speakers ever a pair of Lafayette Criterions had heil AMT tweeters. Would love to hear those these days off of a decent rig. Might have to give these a listen locally. | |

| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "As to the NHT's, they are a bit bright"Well, gotta say that is one thing I have never attributed to anything designed by John Strohbeen.I run Dynaudio Contour 1.3 mkII monitors off the same system as my OHMs. Only difference other than speakers i... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Haven't heard NHT in a while but from my recollection, they have a different tonality than OHM, more like the French Triangle speakers that I also listen to and enjoy regularly on my "other" system. | |
| Choosing a Floorstander by Footprint Size "They don't allow monitors on stands, and the layout of the room and furniture dictates size requirements."Audio police, eh? :^)OHM Micro Walsh sound like a perfect fit. Big sound, small footprint, and largely omnidirectional meaning things hold t... | |
