Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?

Bond,

Not all 300w+ amps are created equal.

With my newer OHMs, I started with a 300w/ch + Carver m4.0t amplifier. Its designed to sound like a tube amp and not particularly beefy/ high current for that wattage. Went plenty loud, but the low end tonal balance was lacking. THen a 120w/ch musical fidelity A3CR. Better overall up to moderately high volumes, but still not the cat's meow. Then teh BC ref1000m Class Ds. MEow!!

Hey fella's - just pointing out, to have a another of a select few, Blue Circle BM2 speaker owner's out there... There is a pair listed from that late BC dealers estate on usa Audio. mart right now. Just sayin :) (no affiliation what so ever to the seller or estate - just a happy Ohm owner is all!)

Mapman - Agreed. I know that the number of watts per dollar is not the only, nor the most important, aspect of a power amp. But I am very curious about the D-Sonic amps. These have massive power, and at least one very good review in the audio press. Can't do anything now. Tuition bills up to my eyeballs. BTW, are the ref1000m amps the current BC model?

Bond,

Yep, ref1000m still current model. It has had good longevity and I can vouch for why.

Other BC amps like ref500m use next generation, newer Icepower modules though from what I recall.

Have not heard newer D-Sonic amps but they have potential to be game changers, from what I read, even with tube pre-amps, which was not the case with their earlier Icepower based products.

Well, I've ordered the 300-5000's! Ready to go, should be shipped tomorrow and I'll receive mid next week. Excited. Worried. Heck, I have not listened to anything except my NHT'S in about thirteen years! No audio shows or clubs. No auditions at high end stores. I'm figuring out how to reconfigure my room, as John said it's likely a bit too dead the way I have it set up. Should be fun, right? This thread is incredible!! I'll let you know. Oh, today I learned that I'll likely be furloughed. So. Awesome. No pay raise in four years, and now a pay cut. Excellent. Thank you Sir, may I have another! Sorry guys, had to spout.
