New-ish to Audiogon Forums... Is it always like this?
I've been here over 20 years. It ebbs and flows. Keep trying. Sooner, or later, a great thread will come along and you'll be rewarded with a "thank you" and a sense of accomplishment for your efforts."Do a good turn daily". Good words to live by..... 
Options for integrateds for Ohm Walsh Tall 2000s?
@mklinkma  - There is a Rega Elicit-R on USaudiomart listed at $1650. If you are interested, you might want to keep an eye on it and consider making an offer around $1500 if it doesn't sell soon.

@mklinkma  - The Rega Elicit-R is definitely not soft. I would consider it well balanced, with great bottom end. The solid bottom end satisfies me to the point that I don't want/need to add a sub to fill-in the bottom. It's just a complete, solid ...

@geof3  - Yep, great album. Love it. I actually have the 12" 45 of the live version of "Face the Face" from the movie - "White City". Have you seen the movie? It's on YouTube (in two parts). I think it's about a one hour feature. I have it on VHS....

Scratching my head...Bluesound Node 2i direct to amp
Was not familiar with the McIntosh MAC-3. Looked it up. It's a  5.1 Channel Home Theater Surround Decoder circa 1997. I could see it being the weak link in you system. I'm guessing a simple dedicated 2-channel stereo pre-amp will be an improvement.
