| History on ohm A's and F's. I don't know how many Ohm A's and F's were sold, but due to the power requirements and various other reasons, I doubt they were exactly ubiquitous. Let us remember that the OHM Walsh A's and F's are now over 35 and 25 years old respectivley. Furth... | |
| Poll - Active vs. Passive preamp Depends. I've used both with success over the years. If I had to fall off the fence, I'd lean towards active. | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. To my mind, it's "hardly a reasonable accounting of the similarities". In one case, we have an actual working model of a concept just a few decades old, as opposed to some drawings done centuries ago without any known working models. The Walsh "co... | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. Mapman, I could be wrong but, I believe you are mistaken on every count. | |
| $ 2500 ....Stay with Vandersteens ??...what else ? I still think, if your room can accodmodate them, that the Vandy 2's will be a significant upgrade. IMHO, the Vandy 2's are one of the all time greatest values in all of audio. If you do decide to upgrade to the 2's, you might want to consider a m... | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. I do believe that unlike the current Ohms, the original Ohm Walsh's were bending wave drivers, and the German Physiks DDD is just an update of the original Walsh concept. The "inefficiency" of the original Walsh drivers might be due to other factors. | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. "(the Walsh was a purely pistonic driver, which was at the core of its efficency issues)." ??? | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. The Huff line of speakers use the same driver as the German Physiks line, at somewhat more reasonable costs. The German Physiks might have more elaborate cabinets. I have no idea if they warrant the extra costs. The German Physiks driver is an upd... | |

| studio equipment that makes it into home hifi Some of the "Audiophile" labels use home hifi in their studios. | |
| Vandersteen 2CE's I suggest you check the archives. | |

| Atma-Sphere MA2 Mk2.3 / Krell KSA 250 / Passlabs? FWIW, rumour has it that despite claims to the contrary, the Krell KSA 250 is probably more of a high bias class A/AB amp than a pure class A amp. It still might be the best value according to your list. | |
| Threshold SA3 or T200 amp S1600's @ 800 Watts per channel, don't have a ton of power?Threshold did not recommend continous loads below 4 Ohms, but, they burnt each amp in with a 2 Ohm load for 48 hours before testing and delivering. Threshold used Thiel CS 5's which droppe... |
