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

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.

You could be right Bond, there sure are a lot of them out there though. Thanks for the offer on the vortex box. One of my friends just built one himself and loves it. I haven't been over to check it out yet, but something I have given some thought too. In the meantime, the Naim and its abilities are doing what I need at the moment!

How have your 2000's been doing? Hope all is well with you! This little part of the forum has been a bit quiet of late, always enjoyed a good Ohm read. Been wondering if anyone was able to take advantage of Johns Black Friday sale at Ohm? Tim

Frazeur - My 2000s are singing wonderfully. A recent power cord change to my amp is over-emphasizing some HF transients, especially on certain female voices, but the cord is still running in, and upgrading the plugs should fix it completely. I just need money! It's amazing how revealing the Ohms are of changes upstream. I've been listening more often and for as long as I can lately.
