High-Efficiency Single Driver Speaker System

That's a good idea---thanks. My zip code is 11510 and I live in Long Island New York.

Hi A-passion I live in Staten Island, NY. If you want to come over for a listen, let me know. Once you go to the dark side there is no going back. ;)

Snopro, just looked at your system, very nice, and A_passion should definitely accept your generous offer. I'm sure the Zu's will definitely answer his questions about the "dark side." BTW, what amp are using, tube mono's or First Watt?

Tls49 thanks. I'm using the 300b Franks. The First Watt is my backup amp it's very good but, the Franks are better at portraying the emotion and organic feel of live music.

The OHM Walsh speakers I favor are a slight spin on the single driver approach. THey use a single driver up to 7khz or so which is where most music occurs, well beyond where most any typical 2 way system would cross over. That delivers a lot of the coherency and rightness aspects that people attribute to wide range drivers, including transparency.

They are different though in being largely omnidirectionsl resulting in large sweet spot and a different kind of room filling presentation. They also low and loud and clear without strain or much compression, unlike many full range drivers. Also, they are not particularly efficient, though many popular designs are significantly less so.
