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

Bondmanp..

So the imaging was perfect on you're 2000's, before the Sound anchors?
And did I read 6' ceilings??? I wouldn't even be able to stand up straight in a room with that limited of headroom.
Everything is better after adding the mass to the speaker, dynamics, imaging
image height and it looks way more like a modern designed speaker.

Wtf..Thank you for the good word :-)

Early on Dennis DID offer, as an option, a buffer stage to increase the input impedance of his amps but later discontinue it as he found it make no difference sonically even when using tube preamps.

Tobe,

I suppose Dennis has his reasons and motivations for doing things the way he does.

I'm not judging it, just pointing out some differences between vendor's approaches and value propositions. M-Sonic is certainly one of the vendors that sets the bar in regards to low cost.

Take a look at Audio Research's Class D amps over the years. There is a company known for tube technology that has adapted Class D as well. I tend to trust what they do when designing CLass D amps to run best with tube gear. Whatever the real end benefits when listening are, I think they tend to do things pretty right, but they will never be the lowest cost option.

But I'm with you and others who wish D-Sonic would be more open about their amps.

I suspect most of D-Sonic customers are not running tube pre-amps. They are looking for best value in an amp mostly I suspect, and are probably not too concerned about technical details relating uniquely to tube gear. D-Sonic will certainly work with tube gear, though a more detailed investigation by tube gear owner would likely identify other options with something to offer, but probably for a premium. Most folks into tubes probably are less cost conscience than the masses I would guess.
