| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I read the article and found it interesting. John has a way with illuminating speaker aspects that are subtle. The substitution of different terms for the various frequency ranges was illustrative.I don't understand the orthodoxy of audiopholes in... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks for the help mapman, I will check it out. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I have a speaker hum that is really bad. After the usual disconnecting of the various components, I found it was coming from the TV.This was a huge relief because the wife had been pointing her angry finger at my newly acquired amp and pre-amp as ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? That the basic Ohm-Walsh design has remained the same for decades, accounts for the stable "voice" they make.I like the fact that the design has been refined over time, but not changed. This is called 'development'; think Volkswagen Beetle for exa... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I thought it was interesting that he didn't mention Ohm-Walsh speakers. It seemed as if he didn't consider them "audiophile" enough. That is just my opinion, of course. Also, he would have then had to make special comments about fitting them to th... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Mapman: I remember your earlier post about playing the W2s outdoors. Just to be clear, I didn’t have any issues with my speakers when using my Onyko receiver (100 wpc). It was only when I put the Parasound 1500 into the mix that the problems occur... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Just to correct the record, when I asked to John S. on the phone, he theorized that the damage I did to the walsh 2s was to the voil coils and not the surrounds. Even though the speakers are over 30 years old, he said that the surrounds were proba... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? The tuner+remote is 100% for the WAF.I don’t think having a computer hooked up in our living room is going to pass muster.I emailed John Strohbeen asking "how does one know if the speakers are over-driven?" and he answered this."The upgrade comes ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? After talking to John Strohbeen today, I bit the bullet and ordered the 2.2000 driver upgrade. I will be sending my Walsh 2 speakers back to John for a partial trade toward the 2.2000s that will end up going into the Walsh 1 cabinets. He mentioned... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks mapman, but I will have to wait on the IC comparison as I recently blew out the 30 year old surrounds on my Walsh 2s. This explains why I was losing the bass. The Parasound power amp did the deed.I sent an email to John Strobeen to see what... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Yes, thanks Frazeur1.I wanted to get the system to a certain point and then go slow. On my B&K preamp/tuner my only comment is that the tuner part doesn't seem to be very good (no bass), but otherwise it is fine.I did buy a pair (one set) of M... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Someone is listening.Thanks, mapman. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I really am talking to myself so I don't need to be shy.The preamp/tuner and power amp were integrated into my system and the Onyko got relegated to garage duty.At first, I wasn't sure if I had made the right decision in jettisoning the old Onyko ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I guess I’m talking to myself here. :-)I just bought a B&K Reference 5 S2 pre-amp on Audiogon that satisfies my requirements for a tuner and a remote so I’m pleased with that.I’ll post how it sounds with the Parasound 1500A amp when I get it h... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Here is the article that steered me to Ohm speakers.http://www.mercurynews.com/business/ci_24674435/sound-advice-ohm-walsh-speakers-cant-be-beat |
