Walsh type speaker drivers might be unique in terms of how high damping affects the sound. If you read up on lincoln walsh's design, you find walsh drivers operate as a transmission line based on walsh's experience withradar systems in ww2. Also, ...

What Does Holographic Sound Like?
Geof can taunt all he wants. I still say meh. 
Classic rock vocal-only remakes
Not pure vocal only but...Listen to George's acoustic rendition of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" from the BEatles Anthology CD. Awesome!"Double Fantasy Stripped Down" is also a nice simpler take on that Lennon solo material. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Yes, John, pics please !!!! Not that I would need these monsters, but I wanna see anyhow! 
What Does Holographic Sound Like?
TO all the high end audio vendors out there that sell expensive (or modestly priced even) stuff and leave it up to the listener's ears to decide if the product works or not, as opposed to explaining how it works to those interested like most norma... 
30 Years of Perfect Sound?

What Does Holographic Sound Like?
I wish Bybee would explain how their gadgets work more than is the case. If what I think they might do is in fact what they do, I would at least be interested to hear. Otherwise, meh. I do not like to guess how something works. I'd rather know. Th...

Atmassphere,Maybe some semantics at work. When I say "tight", I mean it has body, definition, impact and I like to say it is "articulate" as well.I find I have to test bass using recordings of electronic music in addition to all the various acoust...

Ohm Acoustics Walsh F-5015 speakers
Probably some form of 5000 drivers in refurbed OHM F cabinets. The $9000 + price would indicate something more than that, which is the largest driver in some of the largest cabinets. Maybe an additional 15" sub woofer or two.I have OHM F5 speakers... 
Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No
"There are no speakers made that need an amplifier with a damping factor of over 40."Maybe. 40-50 was the minimum I was shooting for for my OHM 5 series 3 speakers that seem to benefit from higher damping.THe BC ref100m amps I went with and use ha... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
A separate cosmetically matched 15" sub bundled in with f-5000 is as good a guess as any I can come up with to hit that high price. I guess only John knows for sure. I would call but don't like to bother him unless I am serious about possibly buyi...
