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

I do the same thing Bond, only am usually streaming Pandora mixes or whatever is on my iTunes radio. Always nice for those moments when you just want to sit back and relax and not fuss with anything. The Ohm's always sounded great.

I do have to say, some of the better mixes/soundtracks on blu-ray can be very dynamic and well done, but a lot too can be downright crap. Like most things no matter if it is CD, LP or otherwise, the recordings can be a mixed bag. Enjoy. Tim

Tim - I do use Pandora for background, especially when I am ripping & tagging CDs onto my server. But for serious listening, I try to avoid lo-res sources like Pandora. While it sounds unoffensive on my system, it can't get near the presence and dynamics of full res FLAC files through my SBT and Superberry DAC.

Bond, shame the Squeeze Box are no more, not sure what happened there. Right now I just go lossless with my iTunes via Apple TV or directly to my Naim Uniti. There are so many ways to skin the cat, have also been thinking about a vortex box as well, but that will be way in the back burner at this point! Tim

I've had my 5000s 4 months now and they sound better than ever. It does take a long time to break them in! Driving them with 600 watt bryston and they are very dynamic with that. I have slabs of granite anchored with tip toes and use transparent cables. I'm very pleased with the sound. Vocals are very lifelike and bass is full but not boomy. Not at all harsh either. I have just got through reading these 1800 or so posts and I'm convinced more than ever I made the right choice! I had traded in my ohm I's that I had for 30 years for the 5000's. the I's are a great speaker too. Bought some PSB stratus golds about 7 years ago and I sold them and kept the I's John S told me the I's were the best coventional rock speaker they had made

Frazeur - I haven't had the time or the inclination to search through the Logitech forums to get the story. Unfortunately, making a great sounding music player for very little money doesn't mean much outside our very rarified world. Since you can't walk down the street with it, or import 32kbps audio files from some cloud somewhere, or make phone calls on it, or surf the net while you listen, the SBT had limited appeal to the current generation of attention span-challenged 20-somethings. A real shame if they don't replace it or license it to someone. The SBT happens to be a match for the Vortexbox appliance made in heaven. Maybe the Vortexbox folks will buy the rights to the SBT technology? Who knows. Yes, there are many ways to skin the music server cat, but the SBT was one of the easiest, most cost effective, and high performance ways ever. If you need any info on the Vortexbox from a happy user, just let me know.
