I suspect the reason for the interest is that maybe Ohm Walsh is the ultimate "mystery speaker".  They have been around for a long time.  Many of the older folks remember the Ohm F and how great it sounded when properly amplified.  Not many have h...

Salk Sound vs Legacy Audio

ADS L710 speaker spring connector repair experts

Guttenberg and Quad Electrostatics
Former quad owner here. Two thoughts... back in their time, there almost nothing like them in their ability to produce open and hauntingly dimensional sound for some types of music...(many speakers do that now). And... some days you like chocolate... 
Subwoofer matching
Blending a single sub with the mains and getting the tone/impact you are looking for is much more difficult in a small room.  What is your room size?  Are you planning to use REW for measurements and or some form of DSP measurement and equalization? 
SVS vs REL and experiences with both: your comments and preferences...
My son has a sealed SVS 2000 Pro in a 3500 cubic foot room in his music only system.  $900 in the gloss finish...looks to me well made and arrives well packed. Great sub, tiny, completely disappears.  Runs his mains full range and brings the SV...
