Anybody listen to Ohm Walsh speaker w/digital amp?

Makes me think of the old Victrolas....

Mapman, did you visit either the Salk Sound or Selah rooms? Impressions?

Selah, yes. I did not stay long and really had no impression to relate.

I recall seeing Salk also but same deal, sorry. I only had a few hours and a lot of ground to cover.

The systems that caught my ear that I spent time listening to were the one pictured above, the Cathedfral speakers, the room demoing Magico V3 and comparable YG aCOUSTICS, AND United Audio with their mbl and RTR setup (which was good but not set up as well as their showroom), and the little Jolida integrated running the Nola monitors, which was the best sound value of the show that I could see.

The Polk audio room was the only one that did not sound good to me in some way. They were going for the overpowering bass deal which turned me right off.

I'll be getting an Ohm Walsh 2000 pair in late December, to be powered by the new Red Dragon MkII 500 monoblocks (Class D amplifiers based on the B&O ICEpower ASX2 module). Will spend Jan & Feb burning in, then will post a review.

Signal Chain:
- high resolution digital files from USB drive
- Logitech Squeezebox (optical out)
- Benchmark DAC1 (XLR out)
- Red Dragon 500W monoblocks
- Ohm Walsh 2000's

Cables:
Each monoblock will be wired to the speaker with 18 inches of Belden 10-gauge 5T00UP speaker cable, bare wire on each end. Canare L-4E6S "star quad" balanced XLR cables will go from DAC to monoblocks.

Room:
- 2,268 cubic feet (21 x 13.5 x 8)
- wood floor
- speakers in the corners of the 13 foot wall
- 8x8 opening on the end opposite the speakers

Stay tuned for a review in Feb 2012 (I hope)!

Please keep us posted. I have the 2000s as well, fed by an A/B SS Odyssey Audio HT3, filtered, 1st order, below 80Hz, where they cross over to a pair of Vandy 2Wq subs. Very curious to hear how the 2000s do with those Red Dragons.

I was very close to getting the Odyssey Stratos monos. In fact I considered getting them in addition to the Red Dragons, since both companies have generous return policies after in-home trial periods.
