Music Hall CD 25.2 Issues?
Jt3,Interesting that you experienced the clicking, too, thanks. 
LSA speakers?
Aktchi,Yes I had the Ohm Micro Walsh Talls and Ohm Walsh 100's for a total of about 18 months. They have many strengths, to be sure and there was a lot to love about them. But after trying a good pair of monitors at home (PSB Synchrony 2b's) and b...

Seditious,It's "reassuring" to know that the weird "late starting track" thing may be a quirk of these players in general. Thanks. 
LSA speakers?
Well, I just pulled the trigger on a pair of LSA1 Statements from Underwood! It'll take about 10 days to get them. I'll report back when I have them set up. Any advice on set-up or break-in appreciated. 
LSA1 Statement vs. PSB Synchrony 2B or 1B?
Hi Finsup,I think that's good advice. There areonly 2 full time specialty audio shops here. One carries Dali, Martin Logan, PSB, Magnepan (I think) and Dynaudio. The other shop carries a lot of Brit gear -- Rega and I'm not sure what else. But coo... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
John,You have always been a gentleman and if this thread has helped you to sell some speakers, then I'm glad! 
LSA speakers?
I am very interested in this thread. I was thinking of buying the PSB Synchrony 2B (around $1700) but another dealer suggested that the LSA1 Statements blow the PSBs away, and he's got them on sale for a competitive price. It's a hard decision! I ... 
LSA1 Statement vs. PSB Synchrony 2B or 1B?
Loomis,Yes. I saw that thread, too. And Imessaged a couple of those posters. They LOVE their LSA's! Sothat makes it a harder choice. 
LSA1 Statement vs. PSB Synchrony 2B or 1B?
Tpreaves,Sure! The LSA1 Statements retail for $2500. The dealer is discounting them to around the same price as the Synchrony 2B, which is around $1700. So price wise, it'd be kind of a toss-up. If it were a matter of $1700 vs. $3000, there would ... 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
Um, I don't know if I'm the typical audiophile, but we've got a 2006 Prius for me and a Subaru Outback wagon for the missus. :-) 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Guys,Just pointing out that my Ohm Walsh 100's are still up for sale here. A few nibbles but as yet no bites. Thanks... end of advertisement. ;-) 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Map,Thanks for sharing and I'm delighted tha the Bel Canto Amps arefloating your boat! I have lesser stuff -- "just" the dual-mono S300, but it (and the Manley pre) really made a lovely difference in the sound of my 100s. Bel Canto is good stuff!E... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Guys,I was waiting for the other shoe to drop when I posted that ad! :-)I remember Mapman saying a long time ago that some people would "get" the unique Ohm presentation and some wouldn't. After a year and a half of living with the Ohms, I think I... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Just a note to say that I'm still amazed by how much the 100's like better amplification. The Manley Shrimp preamp / Bel Canto S300 combo sounds very sweet. I was listening to Donald Fagen's "Goodbye Look" the other day and wow... marimbas everywh... 
Suggest Speakers for Peachtree Nova
For what it's worth, I was using a Unison Unico (80 watt/ch, tube-SS hybrid, integrated amp) with the Ohm MWT's and (later) the Ohm 100 S3's. In terms of volume without distortion in a 13 x 15 room, they gave me all that I needed. I've since moved...
