| Is it too much to ask.... "They (specs/numbers) may be of some use when trying to integrate a system though, matching impedences and efficiency requirements, etc."Exactly! That's why some numbers are important! A seller that knows which ones matter most impresses me and es... | |
| JBL lovers Dayglow, Check out the latest OHM Walsh speakers on teh OHM Acoustics website. The older Walsh 2s were OK but much flawed in comparison.I sold both OHM and JBL box designs back in the late 70's. ALways preferred the OHMs. Better value and cleaner ... | |
| Ohm Acoustics Walsh F-5015 speakers Spacer,If possible, I would love to see some photos of the 5015s, including cans, hoods, layout of controls, etc. Maybe a quick system post with some pics? Might be hard to photo the bottoms where the subs would be visible as I understand it, though. | |
| Is it too much to ask.... "My question to RW is... who is lazier? The seller who does not post specs on his product, or the buyer who is not interested enough to look up the specs on his own? "They are both lazy IMHO.The two are not mutually exclusive.A url reference that ... | |
| Is it too much to ask.... No, its not too much to ask at all for a seller to regurgitate the key vendor specs that people base buying decisions on, like power rating, in the case of an amp to make life easier for the buyer. Its the smart thing to do IMHO.You know what happ... | |
| Ohm Acoustics Walsh F-5015 speakers "I'll hazard a guess those fine Walsh drivers won't be appreciated too much longer."The cabinets will likely get recycled with newer drivers for some future buyer looking to save some money compared to new cabinets. I am a fan of those older pyram... | |
| Ohm Acoustics Walsh F-5015 speakers Spacer,That's quite a setup, even for a sizable room! I think OHM is mostly interested in the cabinets for restore and future sale. You might be able to keep the F drivers if desired. Worth checking perhaps. | |
| Ohm Acoustics Walsh F-5015 speakers Spacer, what is the rest of your system? Thx + happy turkeyday! | |
| Office partitions as sound panels "Mapman, I wonder if placing 2" panels on opposite walls works the same way as 4" panels on one wall? It should."I don't think so in that these are for controlling flutter echo and slap back, which are artifacts of more directional higher frequenc... | |
| Office partitions as sound panels Kr4,Sounds right essentially. The product literature claims high and mid frequency effects. The bass trap panels they sell (currently showing huge discount on amazon) appear similar but 3" thick, which makes sense. | |
| Office partitions as sound panels Check my system updates. I recently added a few very inexpensive Auralex SonoLite 2 x 2 x 1 Inches Panels on my sidewalls that work as advertised. Just over $50 for 3 on sale on Amazon. They also sell wall mount bass trap panels and other isolatio... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? "Hifitime, I will just say that I have had too many experiences with audio that belie that our measures, tests, and physical laws cannot explain obvious improvements in audio reproduction. "Its undoubtedly true that not everything is known about m... | |
| Please recommend an amp for an ancient system? I'd recommend any used or new NAD integrated amp with phono inputs that is in good condition. Or a brand new NAD c316BEE integrated with an outboard phono amp, maybe also a NAD, BEllari or something along those lines. | |
| Best of both worlds..Image and slam OHM 4000 or 5000 would be worth taking a look at. These are where I I would look for amps like those. These are similar to OHM F5 series 3 speakers I use with 500w/ch BelCanto ref1000m amps. The OHMs love power and current and can handle pretty mu... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? There is no mathematical equation to follow for good sound, but there is a lot of relevant science that can help....a lot! |
