Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Bond, My old Mac 6200 was the only piece of gear that didn't bother me because it had tone controls. Congrats on the C220, Mac gear works beautifully with Ohms.

What's the first equation?! it looks familiar...Funny, I've been looking into Wyred4Sound the last couple of days. Good reviews on their amps and the DACs look good too.The W4S amps look like a nice combo with Ohms... 
Nola Boxer speaker - for condo system
The designer prefers tubes - try a tube integrated that has remote(since you're watching movies - Manley Stingray, Rogue Cronus...). 
Got $1000...how should I spend it?
For active speakers, Dynaudio BM5A.

Also, search the the McIntosh section on Audiokarma.

I asked Ron Cornelius a couple of years ago about upgrading from a 6200 to a 6300 (I was deciding between the 63 and the 65).His response:These are both good models (63 and 65) and you seem to have a good understanding of the differences. We may h... 
good stand speakers with good low end
Maybe a used pair of Nola Boxers...I switched from monitors to a pair of Ohm MicroWalsh Talls. I never heard the $3K break before, but I guess that's about right, except for only a few models - one being the Ohms.If you have the room, I suppose a ...

I'd be curious to check out Shahinians, particularly the Compass. I'm in the area and I've been in touch with Vasken, so maybe sometime I'l get an audition. If I do, I'll report back...I have a feeling I'd like the Compass, the only problem is the...

Here's a review of Blue Circle's speaker that uses a Walsh driver. Interesting to read the reviewer's impressions of mid range resolution and soundstage. BC made a good decision to enlist Ohm...http://www.soundstage.com/equipment/bluecircle_bm2.htm 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Kristian makes some good points - but the pro worlds and civilian worlds are very different. I listen to studio monitors all day long, and I'd never want a pair at home. I've heard every kind of passive and active monitor in studios all around NYC...

Hey Ron, That's too bad about the bass - I've always thought of the MWTs as a great apartment speaker. I'm in a 12x20 room and my MWTs have tons of bass. My amp is a 70 Watt Cyrus 8vs2 - not a lot of power, but when I replaced my McIntosh integrat... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Ron, I'm also in NYC, I've had my MWT's in a couple different rooms in my apartment, and never tweaked a thing. I think it's more about the sound of the room, vs. where you're sitting. As long as your room isn't too live, the MWT's are the best sm...

Rebbi - It sounds like you gave the Ohms a listen for a long time, but it's you're time to move on. Once in a while I get the bug to try something else, but it passes. You have to try things out, glad to see you found another speaker that suits yo...

When we get to 999, we I think we should honor Rebbi with the 1000th post... :)
