| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Knownothing, a few things I can add:Micro walshes were the first "series 3" model released I believe and all micro walshes are series 3. As I understand it from John Strohbeen, Ohm owner and principal Walsh series designer, the difference between ... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Well, you probably have a win scenario at this point no matter which way you go. You obviously know what your looking for when you hear it. | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please The Vandy's are not a conventional box design. The Ohms and Vandies share a couple of characteristics I can think of. First, driver surfaces are decoupled from the cabinets. Second, both strive for phase coherence, Ohm by using a single driver for... | |
| Ohm Walsh old vs. Microwalsh new Dogue,Any news, have things settled in for you yet? | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Knownothing,I was wondering if you know whether the Ohms you heard were original (series 1 which first arrived in the early 80's), series 2, which I think started in the early-mid 90's through ~ 2005 or 2006, or series 3, which have only been avai... | |
| NAD C372 & Gallo Ref 3.1 Does "ballsy" mean a lot of punch in a relatively small and perhaps less expensive box?If so, I'd say many amps from NAD and Musical Fidelity and class D amps in general are ballsy. Many MF and class D amps actually do double in power like their m... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Rebbi,My pleasure. Again, as I stated earlier, Ohms are not for everyone, which is a shame.Was at my favorite local dealer yesterday auditioning CD players. Heard a pair of nice Usher monitors ($2-3 grand I believe) on Cambridge Audio 840c, Audio ... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Imaging/location may or may not be an issue. The imaging is different than that from box dynamic designs. That alone could be an issue for many.Sound from omnis (and Ohms) emanate and interact with the room much more like sound does in a live perf... | |
| Musical Fidelity A5 CD player - long Nice review.Thanks.I've been most pleased with my first MF piece, an A3CR amp and would give strong consideration to their CD players also as a result.Heard any newer players, MF or otherwise recently worth a mention? | |
| Review: Denon DCD-1560 CD Player It ain't the sexiest player out there, but I love my Denon nonetheless for its sound. I bought it new about 3 years back to replace a Cal Audio Icon MKII based on mass positive reviews on various web sites having a comfort level with Denon product... | |
| Review: Wadia 581i CD Player Thanks so much for this review.I like reviews like this where the only difference is the units being tested. Different interconnects are an issue perhaps still in this case but if this is by design because each player is judged to work better with... | |
| Record you spin on a rainy Saturday w/ family gone Today:Gypsy Passion (Andre Kostelanitz on lovely Columbia stereo vinyl.Donovan Greatest Hits (CD)Terrapin Station Grateful Dead (so-so original 70's vinyl) | |
| Review: Denon DL 103R Cartridge Anybody have any suggestions on how to easily and reversibly increase tonearm mass as an experiment with the Linn for the Denon?I've considered experimenting with wrapping a lead solder strand or strands around the tonearm. | |
| Okay......best single box reference CD player Anyone ever heard the Electrocompaniet Emc 1-UP or compared it to some of the gold standard players mentioned? | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please knownothing,I've toyed on occasion with the idea of replacing my Dynaudios, which are a pretty decent set of highly accurate monitors, with Ohm micros. Reason being that they are a very good monitor speakers that do most everything very well, but ... |
