Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Rebbi,If the S3 in your question is sat3, the 60ish tubed watts should work. If you're talking series 3 full range, see the above.Marty | |
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Rebbi,A lot depends on your preferred listening level, the room size, the specific amp in question, full range vs subs, etc, etc, etc.FWIW - PrimaLuna 7 monos with KT66 output tubes make about 60ish wpc. With subs, this is more than adequate to pr... | |
What subwoofer to use with Maggies? My standard advice;Check out the Velodyne SMS-1 sub controller (room analyzer, PEq, & x-over). I use it with 2 Velo subs and (on occasion) MMGs, though more often with my Ohm 100s. The SMS allows seamless integration and smooth low end respons... | |
Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? God Only Knows may be the most beautiful ballad of the rock era. Sloop John B, Wouldn't It Be Nice, et al. are flat out great songs. It's hard to understand what you don't understand. The record holds a special historical place because the "sonic ... | |
What has happened to NHT Xd and M6/T6????? The Xd was discontinued. One company (I believe Listen Up)bought all of the Xd stock and is offering them on-line at about 1/2 original price - I want say $3200ish. When I wanted a sub/sat for use with my digital piano, I seriously considered the ... | |
Primaluna opinions wanted The 7 monos are very, very good sounding, flexible (tube rolling), reasonably powerful, well built, and easy (auto-bias). No complaints at all. They are usually my tube amp of choice over the ARC VT130SE and Cary 805 and 300B monos that I also own... | |
Looking for a good Transport. Help. You might want to consider an iMac (just rip your cd purchases to the drive ) and an iPhone. The latter provides a great wireless interface and the former is (IMHO) a very good transport. Total cost should be around $2K and you certainly get a lot... | |
Help chossing a good speaker. $ 3-5 K In your circumstances, I'd spend my first $1k on a $350 bass buster and a $600 Velodyne SMS 1 sub controller (room analyzer, PEq and active x-over) which will allow you to optimize your REL for your room and acheive a smooth blend with the main sp... | |
Who is your overall favorite guitarist? I just flipped through the thread and saw that no-one has mentioned Bill Kirchen (once of Commander Cody's Lost Planet Airmen). I'll stick with Gatton, Thompson, Rundgren and Buckingham as my favorites, but Kirchen is worth mentioning. His live sh... | |
Is mp3 320 mbps good enough for your ears? I find that 320 mbps is great for background listening, you have to pay attention to hear the difference from lossless files. But, on a good system, if you're paying attention..... | |
What would you buy Sub $350 Firewire/USB DAC Prof,Congrats, I'm confident that you'll be happily surprised at how good this thing sounds.Perhaps due to a brief brain cramp, I said I use the DACMagic with a Mac on my piano & that's wrong. It's a PC - the DACMagic is not an approved "MAC c... | |
Opinions on the following Integrateds I use the NAD BEE in my gym with Silverline Preludes jammed into the corners of the room. Given the unfortunate placement limitations, the combo sounds pretty decent and goes louder than I can stand (and on a treadmill - I REQUIRE crushing SPLs to... | |
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Rebbi,You really should get hold of Lindsey Buckingham's cd "Under The Skin" and play the track called "Show You How" (then play the rest of the cd, it's terrific). The Ohms create a sense of space filled by individual voices that will undoubtedly... | |
Subwoofer meshes well with 2-channel? To clarify, the Velodyne SMS will work with any sub you choose: a low group delay, high distortion model like Stanwal's REL or a lower distortion, higher group delay model like the SVS that Bob has recommended from time to time. Further, you can c... | |
Subwoofer meshes well with 2-channel? Dawg,For $600 you can understand the bass shortcomings of your current speakers with a Velodyne SMS-1 sub controller (X-over, room analyzer, PEq). First, just use the analyzer portion of the SMS (no sub) to analyze your speakers in your room below... |
