Anybody listen to Ohm Walsh speaker w/digital amp?

Martykl,

You have some nice stuff to experiment with.

How many different amps + stuff do you own?

I agree with the "Quads with more bass" analogy for the newer OHM Walshes. "Quads with more meat on the bones for less" is specifically what I was shooting for when I decided to go with the newer OHMs.

I don't want to admit this because I'm sure that it qualifies as some sort of medical disorder:

AMPS

Cary 300B monos
Cary 805s
PL 7s
ARC VT 130SE
BC integrated
Patos Classic Integrated
PanCor Dyna Reissue pre&power

SPEAKERS

Sonus Faber Cremonas (and Minuettos)
Verity P/E
Merlin VSM SE(subsequently upgraded)
Maggie MMGs
Zingali 3 horns
Silverline Sonatinas and Preludes

and

Ohm 100s

SOURCES

Oracle/Graham/Transiguration or Lyra - (2 wands)
Acoustic Solid/Rega (modded)/Clearaudio
Transrotor/Rega/(modded)/Rega
Cary 303/300
QSonix 100 w/Benchmark DAC 1

Part of this is due to consolidation of 5 homes I've lived in over the last decade, but mostly it's just a diseased mind. Eventually, I'll seek treatment.

PS - As dramatic sounding as the MBL speakers are (and they are the most dramatic sounding speakers I've ever heard), the Ohms are far more neutral. I don't think I could live with MBLs as my only speaker - the colorations would drive me nuts. Maybe I'll just have to add a pair one day ;-)

Marty,

Take consolation in the fact that many of us on this sight share in your mindset and I personally would love to be able to play with all those nice toys!

In defense of your sanity though, better to try lots of different things at reasonable price points in order to achieve the "ultimate sound" rather than put all your eggs in a single basket, so to me there is a method to your madness.

Cheers!

Martykl,

Reading your equipment inventory, I hearby initiate a new, Audiogon acronym: MHO, which stands for Mouth Hanging Open!

:-D

Martykl, I'm interested in how the Ohms sounded with the "Pathos Classic One" integrated since this is a tube/SS combo. My wife's "Spirit Guide" (she's psychic) had directed my attention to this little amp several years ago. It was the only amp from that company that "Spirit" says has the design/value/performance ratio that Spirit finds excellent.
