| Bose buys McIntosh One of the best car stereos I ever had was the McIntosh system in my 2003 Subaru Outback VDC. Although the car was too noisy to really appreciate it, in park, it sounded pretty good. I did speak to someone (Chuck Hinson?) at McIntosh about it on... | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? I probe with questions: "Are you happy with the bass level you have? " Depending on the answer, you can either offer advice or just STFU. | |
| Sub suggestions please Look for Vandersteen 2Wq used. Fantastic sub provided your mains go down to 40Hz. I have a pair, purchased used, along with a pair of the M5-HP battery biased crossovers. Deep, clean bass that never gets in the way of higher frequencies, and th... | |

| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? I love my Arion Audio S500. Shoebox size digital switching amp designed and built by Mike Kallelis. 500 watts per channel, super clean, neutral sound. Plus, it weighs only about 22 pounds! Price should be under $3000. A real bargain, and I ca... | |
| Ohm owners: What headphones do you use? @soix Thanks. I will add the Hifiman Arya Organic to my audition list @mapman Thanks. The 8xx series Senn's are a stretch, price wise. But I should audition the best of the 6xx series. Talk about durability: My first headphones were a pair of... | |
| Speakers or Turntable upgrade If your room is the right size, consider either the Ohm Walsh 1000s or 2000s. They are a fantastic rock speaker (they do every genre well). Plus, they don't get that congested sound many speakers suffer from at higher volume. Ohm offers a 120 d... | |
| Ohm Speakers Status Update Yup...Evan clearly has learned from the best. RIP, John, your baby is in good hands. | |
| Ohm Speakers Status Update @snapsc This has never been an issue with my Ohm Walsh 2000s, and I have owned them since 2009. They do convey whatever soundstage width is in the recording. That can range from a near surround sound effect on recordings that use phase trickery ... | |
| Ohm Speakers Status Update @livinon2wheels Understood. If you think the Walsh's work a trick on film sound, try a mono recording. You barely miss stereo! | |
| Shazam as an audio tool Yup, I have done this for years at audio shows, audio club meets, even when watching a film and I like soundtrack. The key is to find the time to go through all the Shazams and add them to my library from Qobuz. Technology in the the service of ... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? Not familiar with the sound of REL subs. However, I have an ongoing love affair with my pair of Vandersteen 2Wq subs with M5HP crossovers. They are out of production, replaced by a newer model, but they do pop up used from time to time. They blend... | |
| Help - is Krell dead? @gotolondon2 My whole system is a bunch of "hideous black boxes with flashing lights" 😆 | |
| Ohm Speakers Status Update @unsound I was under the impression that, although current Ohm Walsh models use fairly standard drivers, that they are still configured to use the bending wave principle off the back of the drivers. @livinon2wheels As a happy owner of 2000s for ... | |
| Keep light equipment from tipping up from cable weight? I just put a box of ammo on top. Heavy and dense, they keep everything in it's place. |
