HI @redstarwraith
I was replying to a post about the NYC 2019 audio show... specifally about Ohm demo room....
thought you might find it of interest... as they were demoing Super 2s ( Walsh 2 that been factory upgraded to current 2000 specs ).

my reply. :
Ohm is a favorite of mine as well... There factory is around the block from my office...
I agree with what you said ( The OP ) below" This is where the Walsh's blew me away, they did have a Carver amp/pre as part of their rig, as the female voice is always a wonderful indicator of the true depth, capability, and beauty of a loud speaker."
What John and Evan was presenting at this show was a Retro system that has been upgraded to current standards....
So you saw what looked to be Walsh 2 but they were upgrades to Super 2's .... you can see them at Ohm website ....
The Carver rig you noticed has been gone thru by Nelion Audio .... check Greg's site too...
This is actually a Carver M-1.0t mkII opt002 Restore and Upgrade by Greg at Nelion Audio
with the following specs..
and the Carver Pre-Amp had the Carver C-1 Bill D Mod done by Greg at Nelion Audio..
The idea was vintage gear that was brought up to todays standards and people can get this level of sound for a reasonable amount of money....
I happen know this level of detail cause the Carver equipment is from one of my home systems ! and yes I have it hooked up to a pair of Super 2s and a TD-125MkII
Good Listening !
