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

My point is D-Sonic has been around for a while now and folks have already heard their previous iterations. The new amps are supposed to be improved. How so? New amp modules (plus whatever else). OK. Many of us have already heard class-d amps and have an idea of what they sound like in general and yes, every manufacturer has their own build/sound, but I would like a more compelling reason to try the amp(s) out other than "it/they sound great". If I want to take a chance I still have to pay for shipping and a restock fee.

"An in-home trial period of 21 days is available. This can be extended by email at the discretion of D-Sonic. If the unit is returned in factory condition and packaging, customer pays shipping both ways plus a 10% restock charge. Unit must be insured to full value."

So .. I don't expect any manufacturer to give away the farm so-to-speak but most will provide SOME info including what amp modules they are using (Bel Canto & W4S for example). No I'm not obligated to purchase, nor am I compelled.

Peter,

I see this as a potential marketing mistake. At the end of the day, this is a hobbyist purchase. People frequently base their purchase decision on their view of the particular technology as much as the product's performance. If you could hide the fact that your SET amp employed 300B tubes, would you?

I sympathize with (and fully understand) the desire to protect your intellectual property (I'd NEVER download music illegally for this reason), but I suspect that D-Sonic will lose sales over this decision.

Of course, I could be wrong.

"I sympathize with (and fully understand) the desire to protect your intellectual property (I'd NEVER download music illegally for this reason), but I suspect that D-Sonic will lose sales over this decision."

As do I and I would suspect Dennis is fully aware of the risk. Who can say if he will lose many sales, although I can say he lost a sale to me.

Have you guys seen the new Ohm website? http://ohmspeaker.com It's a beta site, much better than the current version, plus there is an incentive to find errors. I can't believe it, but the Ohm 5000 talls are priced at $3250, instead of the current $6500. No kidding! Check it out.

Oops! My bad- the new website lists the 5000's at $3250 EACH, the same price currently for a pair. Anyway, the website is much improved find a mistake, email John, and he will take 10% off the price of a new set of speakers- limit 4 per customer.
