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

RBI, for what it is worth, I use a pair of REL T-3 subs with my MWT'S when they are in the system. These can be found fairly cheaply on occasion here on the Gon, also a couple of close out companies have had them listed, but I bet most will be out of stock by now. I got mine on close out. These mate really well to the Ohm's as well as my MMG's. Good little subs, does depend on your room size too here.

Richinny and Marty, take a look at the Ikonoklast tweeters, very similar to the old Walsh tweeter made for the Infinity speaker many years ago, these can be bought and added on to other speakers. It has given me some of those thoughts about trying different combos. Sorry I don't have a link right off, but I think you can find them. Interesting huh? Enjoy the music! Tim

Frazeur, I see new ones on ebay for $500. Would I be alright with just one (at least for the time being)? Does it just get connected to the line-out of my Nova?

Actually, looks like the T-2 and T3 can both be had for $400. Is the T-2 better?

Just updated my system with a Pangea AC-9SE power cord hooked up to my McCormack DNA 250. I know that this is a somewhat controversial subject, but Steve McCormack himself recommends upgraded power cords, so I bought a 2 meter cord from Pangea (and got $50 off- now through the end of the month!). I immediately noticed that the ground loop hum became barely audible. As to the performance, it may just be my imagination, but the bass notes seem slightly clearer and "fuller", to the extent that I just can't imagine using a subwoofer with my 5000's. Does anyone else think that a high quality power cord makes a difference in sound? BTW, this thing is as thick as a garden hose!

Rbf1138: I use a pair of Vandersteen 2Wqs with my 2000s, but that's not in your budget. In your budget, I'd look into the Velodyne EQ Max 8. IMHO, having the ability to EQ the in-room response of a sub is very important, and in this price range, not many subs offer that capability. If your room is appropriately sized for the MWTs, the EQ Max 8 should be sufficient, especially for music (as opposed to home theater). As for the connection, I prefer the subs to be in-line with the main speakers, the only way the Vandys can be connected. However, it is often the case that the sub's built in high-pass filter for the speaker-level connections is inferior to the crossover in an AVR or preamp or integrated amp. If your Peachtree has an internal crossover with an RCA subwoofer output, it will probably be better than the crossover in most subwoofers. But try it both ways and see which sounds and blends better.

Finsup: Although my 2-channel signal chain does not use any room EQ, my surround signal chain does. I have a Pioneer AVR with MCACC, which works rather well, especially compared to the Audyssey built into my previous pre-pro. I have to admit that there is a "rightness" to the sound when I have even lo-res sources on, like Music Choice on FiOS. The jazz channel, which in my set up must come through the room EQ'd Pioneer AVR, sounds amazingly good for a compressed, reduced-resolution digital signal being converted to analog by a <$500 AVR. If I had more money, and was not such a die-hard analog fan, I might look into the higher end room EQ products. My main suggestion here is to insist on the ability to fine-tune the room EQ results after the device does its thing. My old pre-pro was all-or-nothing; if you didn't like the way the Audyssey EQ'd the room, your only choice was to turn the whole room EQ thing off. With the MCACC, I can fine tune it, correcting any setting I don't like, while keeping the rest.
