| using a sub with full range versus or monitors ? There can be benefit with more full range speakers but it depends on the response of the speakers in your room/listening environment and the ability to blend the woofer in a manner that fills in the missing low end without producing excess output ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Phaelon.BEautiful! I can see where that would work quite well in that size room, especially with the wood floors, which I have always found to be somewhat problematic acoustically including with OHM Walshes, especially the bottom ported CLS models... | |
| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved "This thread is train wreck..."Petty is your real identity really Joseph Broady?Better slow down.... | |
| Why does better power = better sound? Good basic point Al.A solution that truly cleans or smooths out the power supply in regards to AC frequency but also in conjunction limits basic power parameters like voltage and current may be of marginal benefit or perhaps even be detrimental in... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Phaelon,I'm not familiar with the 14" stands.Does that elevate the driver 14" higher than just the F cabinets alone?My 5s are in OHM refurbed and tweaked (now ported similar to other CLS models) F cabinets. I find this a good height for listening ... | |
| Pink Floyd The Wall--Which vinyl? I'm still biased towards the original US vinyl release copy from 1978 in that it was one of the finest pop/rock recordings of its time though admittedly I have not heard many other vinyl versions. The original US CD master I have is not bad but a ... | |

| Bel Canto REF1000M vs. Simaudio Moon 400M Audiozen, for whatever reason i am not hearing what you relate having heard with the class ds in my system for whatever reason. My conclusions are a lot more positive than yours. Class a/b andclass d are radically different technologies. Hard to b... | |
| Bel Canto REF1000M vs. Simaudio Moon 400M "Now Sim has achieved the problems with class A/AB amps where a class D amp is no longer necessary, and no class D amp will ever equal the superior musicality of a class A or A/AB amp."Have you compared?Sounds like your mind is made up.I'm not cer... | |
| Ever heard of, any opinions on, these speakers? Not famiiar with those specifically. Tall towers with wide spaced drivers tend to work best in larger rooms with some distance to listening position for the drivers to integrate coherently. | |
| Tubes vs Solid State Take a look at the new Rogue tube Class D hybrid amps with the B&Ws. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Moon,No ill effects from the wide range driver that i am aware of. I believe the Walsh driver confguration has a lot to do with its effectiveness from top to bottom, a fairly unique capability of Walsh drivers i would say. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? ".what sort of image height do you perceive when the vocalist is at realistic listening levels i.e. singing between speakers or slightly behind the speaker plane? If 5-6ft, does this effect extend to multi-tracked lead vocalist in either channel?T... | |
| Pubul57- audiophile, philosopher, and friend Very sad to hear that.I really did not know him outside audiogon but I live very close to Paul and we had discussed hooking up to audition each others gear not too long ago. I regret we did not have the chance to meet. My impression was he was a v... | |
| Converting Flac to Wav & Upconversion "With most DACs, this type of upsampling from 44.1 to 96 can be very beneficial."YEs, it can, but it all depends on what specifically is done during the upsampling and that is done correctly and that the playback system is sufficiently resolving a... |
