Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Mapman,Thanks for the advice. From what I've seen so far, those preamp brands will bust my budget, but I'll keep an eye out.The S300 was kind of a steal (by the crazy standards of high-end audio): 1/2 off retail, new in box! 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Hey Guys,I took the plunge! I'll be selling the Unico integrated amp on Audiogon and I bought a new-in-box Bel Canto S300 power amp here at a great price. :-)By the way, John Strohbeen (I called today) said that his rule is "the more power the bet...

Hey, Guys,Somebody's currently got a Bel Canto Design EVo 200.2 power amp on sale here for $650 OBO. It's got fabulous reviews all over the 'Net. What do you guys think of that as a foundation for use with the Ohm's? Hurry!!!!!!

My left speaker rocks a little... I can't tell if it's an inconsistency in the hardwood floor, or if the bottom plinth of the speaker isn't quite flat. In any case, a couple of judiciously placed, folded pieces of paper seems to do the trick.'Bond...

Bondmanp,I like hearing Sheryl Crow on my 100's, too. Some of the tunes on her greatest hits CD sound wonderful there -- and I know what you mean about the engineers using "phasey" tricks to get the sound to do dramatic things. The bongos on "Ever... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Hmmmm....Maybe I can take back that last comment about not being able to afford separates. I see, for example, plenty of used, tube preamps on Audiogon for not a lot of money... many under $700. What makes and models would you folks recommend keep... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Martykl,That little Bel Canto S300 looks like a winner, and I've seen a couple of them go on A'gon for around $1000. I'll check back daily and see if one comes up here at a good price.Mapman,Separates may be the way to go, ultimately, but I don't ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Zkzpb8,Thanks a lot for the suggestions! I'd be looking to keep this under $1500 for an integrated amp... I figure I can still get around $800 for the Unico here on A'gon, which would take the sting out of the purchase price.I was thinking of the ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Hmmmm....Let's suppose, theoretically, that a guy with a birthday coming up in a few months, who owned Ohm Walsh 100 s-3's, was toying with the idea of getting a higher powered integrated amp for his speakers. This guy currently has a Unison Unico...

"Paul Mason" was a vineyard that used to have the slogan, "We will sell no wine before its time."
