Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83
I've opted not to pursue BR. I just can't stomach investing in yet another format. I picked up a very inexpensive Denon upconverting player, the 1940ci, which is just fine for my 40" display. I'll add an external DAC down the road, it see if it ho... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Same here!I couldn't be more happy- I haven't listened to this much music since I was 16. I had two friends over this weekend (both of whom bought a set of my old speakers) It got a bit awkward as they realized that the Ohm's were superior to the ...

Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
This must be an exciting time for Ohm, and I hope they sell thousands of the new speakers.Myself- I'm totally happy with the MWT's, and won't be trading them in any time soon.If my next house has a large enough room, I will certainly be buying the... 
Ohm Walsh 2 v. 2XO
actually, I'd hold off a bit. I just got an email from Ohm. They're back from vacation and getting ready to re-launch their website with the new generation of speakers.You might want to get a refurbished 2 with the new 2000 driver.Not sure about t... 
Praise for DacMagic
Any new thoughts on the DAC Magic?I recently upgraded my speakers to Ohm Micro Walsh Talls which are connected to a Parasound AVC-1800 and HCA-2205 amp. I find that my old Sony DVD player isn't quite cutting it in relation to the rest of the syste... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I'm finally experiencing the imaging and soundstage capabilities, and it takes a bit getting used to.I'm used to 'monkey coffins' that image instruments and vocals precisely in the middle. Very, very artificial. A real guitar will revel its locati... 
centering the human voice
Actually, Thromgard gave very good advice. Most any audiophile or enthusiast is likely to suggest the same thing. It's cheap, pretty easy and gives fairly predictable results.Keep trying and posting results. A lot of us can learn from your experie... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Thanks Foster. That was worth the waitMy master plan is to get the 100's after I move to Virginia next year (assuming I have a large enough room) and run the MWT's for surrounds. OR- get another pair of MWT's.In either case, I'm pretty excited abo... 
Recommended new speakers for under $500?
I have to second Mapmans' suggestion of checking out the Ohm's. Amazing speakers.

Foster-Any updates? 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
HI all. I obstained from writing any more on this thread until I hooked up my main amp- a Parasound HCA 2205. Well I did, so I'm back.First of all, my hat's off to the Harmon Kardon AVR-20, which helped to break them in and give me a sense of the ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Very, very nice. It's like looking at my MWT's bigger brother.I especially like your understated layout. Very tastefully done. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Ya know, Rebbi, if I posted every amazing moment I've had with the Ohm's, we'd be at 1000 responses already. They are THAT good, aren't they?Mine seem to be changing character a bit. The bass is filling-out nicely. On some recordings, the treble a...
