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

I had similar hum when I first inserted Bel Canto C5i into my system to replace previous amplifier.   Turns out source was the cable line into the cable box I had connected as audio input.   Try disconnecting any coax cable signal wire input and see if it goes away.  Using this resolved the problem  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002KR2RM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s...

Thanks for the help mapman, I will check it out.

Nice recent article from JS on OHM site in his blog. It describes how to use the 4 level adjustments on each 5XXX model OHM. My F5s have these and these controls have been gold for getting things tuned in just right in my rooms. I kinda figured out their effects over time but nice to have "the man" describe the intent. A very unique feature that is pretty fundamental really. Blasphemy having "equalizer" controls on a speaker though in some parts I suppose but to me it just makes sense and in fact works.

I read the article and found it interesting. John has a way with illuminating speaker aspects that are subtle. The substitution of different terms for the various frequency ranges was illustrative.

I don't understand the orthodoxy of audiopholes in regards to not using equalization or tone controls when fitting the speaker sound to the room. John gets it, but others don't seem to.

Even Jim Smith (Get Better Sound) rarely mentions changing the sound coming out of the speakers, but focuses primarily on changing the room to fit the speakers. That thinking seems backwards to me, but I'm just a lowly mechanical engineer...or am I missing something important here?

I happen to live about 50 miles from the Ohm factory in Brooklyn and I've dealt with JS in person - even gave him some wine as a thank you for his updating my Walsh Two's a little while back.

Absolutely one of my favorite loudspeakers and John is a true gent.
