Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Your B&k EX442 amp input impedance is 24Kohm and the Placette passive preamp is rather high at 2Kohm output impedance but both should work fine together. At 10kohm input impedance for D-Sonic M2 the high end will begin to roll off. Yes talk to...

Mapman, your ARC SP16 tube preamp has a output impedance of 260 ohms. Using the simple rule of thumb that the input impedance of your amp should have at least 10 times or more, the output impedance of your preamp, 260 ohms * 10 = 2.6Kohm. At 10Koh...

You are right but Wyred 4 Sound and other manufacturers include a buffer stage ahead of the Class D amp for the simple reasoning of increasing the input impedance, making it an easier match for tube preamps. I personally would prefer not to have t...

At D-Sonic website under the Product tab, the input impedance for the 600W and 1500W output M2 series are listed as 60Kohm. But I e-mailed Mr. Deacon last month asking him what is the input impedance of the M2-1200S and M2-3000S stereo amp. He rep...

Coot, is that Placette VCU a Placette Audio passive linestage preamp? If so, you might have an impedance mismatch with the D-Sonic M2 which I believe have an input impedance of only 10Kohm. Actually there some confusion, is the D-Sonic M2 input im...

Thanks Dsremer, for your first hand account and opinion.

Which OEM provides the Class D modules for the AVM MA 3.2 MONOBLOCKS?

Dsremer, I'm eyeing the D-Sonic 600 w/ch stereo Class D amp for purchase next year. In your opinion, have these new Class D modules surpassed Class A/B and are approaching pure Class A amp, sound wise.

Sounds like you did nothing wrong. Dome tweeters are mechanically fragile instruments. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Once I started moving my OHM/O.H. in and out between 1 to 3 feet from the back wall, the same old problem of room placement creeps up. At one foot from the back wall and the OHM/O.H. clearly want more room to breath. Three feet give more soundstag...

It's my understanding that the crossover on OHM own dome supertweeters kick in at 8 KHz but the walsh drivers themselves are allow to run full range, in which case they begin to roll off naturally above 8 KHz. The Omni Harmonizers which kicks in a... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
When I get home tonight, I can try moving the OHM/O.H. in and out away from the back wall to see if it's an issue with the supertweeter. I want to take back my description of the O.H. as reserved on first listen, with about 15 hrs. breakin, they s...

No downside, only positive attributes going all omni from top to bottom. Loren Charles of Mark and Daniel says 100 hrs for full breakin.

Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
The Omni Harmonizers were placed on the Ohm 3000 grills with no problems. The grills still leave some space between themselves and the top of the metal can that encloses the Ohm drivers. My understanding is that Ohm own dome supertweeter sit direc...
