| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks @bondmanp. I'm probably still 3 weeks or so away from getting them, but plan on giving them every opportunity to become a permanent addition to my system. As noted before, I had a trial run with the 200s back in 2003 or so and they fell jus... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Just thought I'd start up this thread again to state that I have a set of 1000s coming in a few weeks. I had a pair of the original Ohm Fs back in the 1970s and loved them - they threw an absolutely magical 3D image. I have always regretted selli... | |
| Seeking informed advice on speaker acquisition (Vandersteen vs. OHM Walsh) >> ... having a time and phase aligned speaker is the best way to go. - - - -Just a point of clarification. The Ohms, by inherent nature, are time and phased aligned since all frequencies up to 8K are reproduced by a single driver. The r... | |
| Seeking informed advice on speaker acquisition (Vandersteen vs. OHM Walsh) Keep in mind that Ohm, as a direct sales company, gives you 120 days to audition their speakers in your own home. You're only out shipping costs if you decide to send them back. I like the voicing of Vandy's -- very natural IMO -- but they are sti... | |
| Bel canto problems Besides temp issues, there are two other things to check. One is the speaker wiring and speaker load. A bad connection, short, or an internal fault in the speakers could be causing the amps to shut down.The other issue is high frequency oscillatio... | |
| Zu def 4 are they the best speaker made? This discussion is like a progressive rock fan trying to get a blues fanatic to agree that his favorite band is the better than any other musical group out there. (You can substitute any other group/musician/genre you wish to create a meaningful e... | |
| Bel Canto ACI600 vs Black EX Sepates Just a thought -- for that kind of money, why not take a trip to Minneapolis and visit the factory to hear them there? | |
| Golden ear triton 1 vs tekton double impact speakers Wow. This reads like the script from a high school argument from the late 1960s about whether Ford V-8s are better than Chevy's. Every well regarded speaker that's ever been made has its fans and its detractors. Name a speaker, any speaker, and it... | |
| How Do Ohm Walsh Tall 3000, 3010, 4000, 4012 Speakers Compare To Current Design Speakers? I suspect the best answer to your question is for you to take up Ohm on their in-home 120 day trial. That's plenty of time for them to break in and for you to experiment with positioning and listen to your heart's content. If they don't float your... | |
| Repairing Ohm F's Ohm will sell you a set of their current drivers for the F cabinets, but they have not actually repaired the classic F driver for many years. (Apparently the one fellow who did that retired.) I used to have a set of Fs back in the 1970s and really... | |
| Spendor, Harbeth...why so hot ? Just curious if anyone else noticed the big time gap between the original thread and the 9/6/17 post by wjt3 that looks like a direct response to a comment made 16 1/2 years ago?That may be a record! | |
| Comparing Goldenear Aon 2 and Totem Rainmakers I'll voice a contrarian view to the above. I've always found Totems a tad bright and a touch artificial -- what I call "Kodachrome" sound. Impressive at first but rather tiring over time. I find the Aons more natural sounding. YMMV. | |
| Has anyone considered rebuying a speaker you once owned?? I miss my Ohm Fs which I bought back in 1974 and sold a couple of years later when I had to move. Tried the new Ohms a few years back and, in spite of the manufacturer's advertising, they just don't have the magic of the originals. Unfortunately, ... | |
| Best floorstander at $2k or less? Triton 5s are $2K new and Triton 7s are $1,400. I have the 7s. They are an excellent speaker for a wide range of music. Check out the reviews. | |
| Integrated Amps with Phono for $3000 or less (or separate phono and Integrated) I can recommend the Bel Canto C5i. Excellent sound in a compact, cool-running amp for about $2K list. |
