Anybody listen to Ohm Walsh speaker w/digital amp?

I would love to hear an omni like an Ohm Walsh with a TacT system.

Not yet. I think the combo of small size and high efficiency and current constitute a match made in heaven with the OHMs though.

My next amp someday will likely be a Class D, possibly mono-blocks. I figure the longer I wait, the better and more refined the Class Ds will get. Many get high praise from many already.

My only concern would be potential for RF noise with other components, especially my phono stage.

There is some interesting discussion of Class D amps in this thread:

They do, as you appear to realize, tend to have extremely high output current capability, and very low output impedance, which would account for the "grip" that you referred to.

BTW, if you'll allow me to make a minor point, it is a widespread misconception that the terms "Class D amp" and "digital amp" are synonymous. They are not, although even some manufacturers use the terms incorrectly. A digital amp would be one that has digital inputs, and dsp (digital signal processing) circuits to process those inputs.

I powered my 100s with a Bel Canto integrated for a day. It worked very well, but the speakers were destined for a different room & system, including subwoofers and (eventually) tube amps. I suspect that this is the set up which I'll stick with for the forseeable future. The BelCanto with 100s full-range was great, but IMHO the tubes/subs arrangement just buries it.
