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

Now you guys have me thinking I should try bigger badder amps! I've only heard one class d amp in my system, the PS Audio Trio, which doesn't compare sonically to my Odyssey Cyclops. Anyone have experience with (or thoughts on) the new D-Sonic amps? I understand they no longer use the ice modules. I'm curious.

The newer d sonics seem to have a lot going for them. Have not heard but really want to.

The D Sonics and the Wyred 4 Sound Class D amps seem to be the most high value in terms of watts/dollar when looking at 500 watts/channel. The Arions I am now borrowing, IIRC, are priced at $4500/pr, with the tube hybrid version priced at $6K/pr. The other well-regarded Class D amps are also pricey, like the Merrill Audio and the Bel Canto. As I said though, I am not ready to pronounce Class D as the winner. Therefore, I am also considering more traditional high wattage amps, like a McIntosh (used) or the Sanders MagTech. The Sanders, in particular, are competitively priced with the Class D amps under consideration. Well, all moot. Who knows what will be available, and at what price, when I finally have the wood to drop on a new amp?

Hello all. I've read this thread all of the way through, and d have really enjoyed it! A person can learn about all sorts of things. Speakers themselves, electronics, room treatment, and music, to name the most obvious.

Here's where I am: 13 year old NHT 2.9's that have served me well, but aren't doing it for me any more. I went from NHT 2.5's to the bigger brothers, so have lived with NHT sound for almost twenty years.

I am looking at speakers in two completely different directions. Either the Ohm or Decware omnis, or an active system like the Emerald Physics. My electronics are digital, a modded Pioneer DVAX10, one of the first all-format players, ARC LS-16 pre, and ARC HD-220 hybrid amp. I think I've got electronics covered either way, so...

Has anyone listened to these two speakers side by side? They will do double duty as HT speakers as well, and that gives me some pause when it comes to getting a matching center with the Emeralds.

I've made about a dozen CD purchases while reading this thread, my favorite is Porcupine Tree, Deadwing. Really great!

I forgot to mention that I spoke with John at Ohm, and it really is as you guys say: he is very interested, personal, and seems like he'll go the extra mile for you. I think the Emeralds are mail order from one dealer, based in Hawaii. That gives me just a little pause as well. I really seam to be pointing myself towards the Ohms! Still, anyone who has heard both care to comment?

Thank you!
James
