OHm micro walsh series...
You have to search their site to see the current ones are not omnis, as this thread indicates. They physically damp the rear radiation from the Walsh driver in all the main models, and use a conventional tweeter starting around 8 or 10k. These twe... 
Clements audio speakers?
The 7/16/03 post in this thread gives the manufacturer's url, and their website has at least some information.I'd say you got a deal, even with any technical issues related to the speakers' aging, such as surrounds deteriorating or woofers sagging... 
Is the Rives Audio Parc an audiophile component
Even questionable audiophiles say the Behringer ruins the sound, and not just because it's digital or switching back and forth. Because the unit ruins the sound more than other components or A/D, D/A switchers.Most audiophiles use the Behringer on... 
How Loud Do You Listen??? Do You Know?????????
Slightly off topic, yahoo had a story today about a ClearChannel stadium which has had many noise complaints about its concerts, the latest one being by Korn. The article allowed that peaks from the concert reached 90db. Now, you might think that ... 
Gallo Reference III Owner's: Quick Question
I'm not sure, but I think a lot of the (passive pre amp) integrateds from Jolida have pre outs. norh.com has a cheap tube pre with two main outs. At the higher end, Manley, Rogue and Audio Research tube integrateds would have provisions for this, ... 
Springsteen reissued? Hhmmm
I don't have an answer, but sometimes amazon can give you a clue. The '75 album is noted as a '90 issued CD there.Besides, mass market re-mastering is hardly necessarily a good sign. Whatever the vintage, Springsteens albums have among the most co... 
Have anyone seen these speakers? Or system?
It will be interesting to see if I have nightmares or erotic dreams tonight. Perhaps both at the same time. Thanks a million! 
Small Room. 2-channels. $1,500 & nothing else.
I would check out the Onix Ref 1 in Rosewood and Chinese Melody tube integrated deal at av123.com. You will have to look around under news and future products to find this. Call them for the deal. Both for $1200 or so and a $200 credit on their ca... 
Vandersteen's, optimum placement, room limitations
No, monitors won't go to 30hz unless they're powered like ones from Paradigm or Definitive Technology. Neither of these has a rep for being exactly smooth. Of course if you find 2Ce Sigs dark then maybe you'd like one or both, although your electr... 
$800-$1500 Integrated amps with a subwoofer output
The Blue Circle integrated can be ordered with a $75 sub out as an option, I believe. It has a robust transformer and pretty good level of capacitance for its price. Point to point wired.When looking at integrateds to use with a sub via rca out yo... 
Vandies or Maggies?
I don't think the Vandies are series crossover speakers, but I'm not an expert. Series crossovers would be found in Reynaud, Fried and Diaural licensees' speakers, among the better known sources. 
GMA Europa owners, what amps do you use?
Roy, thank you for the additional information. BTW, here is an email sent to a colleague of mine from you (headers/info deleted.) I did not fully remember your earlier advice, and the question does make reference to medium listening levels, someth... 
I need help from GMA Europa owners
I've always considered the top end of Thiel models I've heard (casually) to be a problem. The first thing I'd look for in a prospective speaker is something softer at the top, so this quality in the Europas compared to the Thiels would be a sellin... 
GMA Europa owners, what amps do you use?
>According to Roy you should have at least 120 solid state watts or 60 tube watts to drive the Europas properly.I don't think this is what Roy says to everyone. This is what he says for people like Pete Whitley who crank it up loud.Maybe Warren... 
Blue Circle CS vs. Unison Unico
That's not a very high ceiling! "Being Very Small John Malkovich". That nevertheless appears to be a big room. How loud do you listen and how damped is the environment? If you really need the power after answering those questions, and you don't ha...
