Ohm Walsh 2000s vs Vandersteen 2Ces
"Vandy's are more a stepped baffle"Tex, thanks for clarifying that. I realized after posting that "open baffle" may not be the most accurate description.Vandersteen and OHM both focus on delivering coherent sound, and seem to be mentioned together...

"Sure they are powerful, but I now start to believe that they are also capable of generating the most subtle nuances at all frequency levels."That's an attribute I would attribute to my F5 series 3 models as well, so no surprise to me there with t... 
Ohm Walsh 2000s vs Vandersteen 2Ces
One clear difference between vandies and omnis including ohm is vandies appear to work more like conventional box designs in regards to having a small well defined sweet spot whereas omnis like ohms maintain imaging and coherency of the soundstage... 
Does you wife touch your system?
Only to turn down the volume if she can. . 
Ohm Walsh 2000s vs Vandersteen 2Ces
Audio connection, Who's babbling? So tell us something about the vandies then if you can help answer the question. Modern ohms do not sound like those from years ago. I have heard vandersteens but not as much as ohms. 
Fuses that matter.
Using gold in a fuse sounds like a reasonable thing to do technically if there is a market for it.

You'd think a high tech quantum device would have a better designed attachment system. :) 
Ohm Walsh 2000s vs Vandersteen 2Ces
Both seem reasonable matches to either amp. I'm partial to the OHMs and the sound of omnis which tend to have a more life like presentation to me. Also I like that the OHMs use a single wide range driver up to 7Khz or so which is great for overall...

"Nobody ever mentions Ohm."Well, some of us do mention it regularly, but that is one I would personally like to see get more attention!Onh, it was a blast from teh past seeing those old EPIs you have in your system pics. THose were pretty good bac...

One could always add their own separate powered subwoofers if desired.I wonder if the same 4 3-way level adjustment switches are provided for the 5015s? One on my 5s is for room size which equates to low bass levels. Or are more sophisticated leve... 
"NEWEST'" Favorite album
Genesis Revisited II is the current art rock equivalent of say the modern post WWII revival of Mahler spearheaded by Leonard Bernstein and others, except Steve Hackett is better qualified for the task than any of those guys were for Mahler in that...

Maybe these are game changers for those looking to spend $10K+ on new speakers? Could they set a new bar perhaps given the scope of the design and the use of refurbished OHM F cabinets to keep costs down?These are by far the most expensive OHMs ev...

Gotta be very heavy! My f5 series 3 are already but are on castors, which really helps with tweaking placement and moving when needed.

I see John posted some more info on the F 5015s on the OHM website but still no pictures. 
Why do audiophiles shun feedback in amplifiers?
NFB....love it or hate it. Most things occur in shades of grey, not pure black and white.
