| Amp Repair Grade: F +6 for Audio Classics. Nobody besides McIntosh itself knows this gear better. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? @mlsstl - Thanks. My TV is a heavy plasma mounted to the wall. I don't think there is much room for sound to bounce around behind it. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? @mlsstl Please tell me your TV is on a stand a ways in front of the wall behind it. If it is wall mounted, I will not be able to have any peace of mind until I try what you did, even though I don't have any stridency issues. Thanks for the updat... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? @mslstl:. Glad to hear you are enjoying your 1000s. I doubt they are anywhere near broken in yet. Be aware that things may get worse before getting even better. I find that poor recordings are quite listenable on my 2000s, even if they are expo... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? @djones51:. although I don’t use it in stereo, my 2 channel system is integrated into my home theater system. In multichannel listening, I use a Pioneer receiver with MCACC. I have not had any issues with this and my Ohms. Except for the subs and ... | |
| Vinyl recordings - best methods @o_holter - Horses for courses, as they say. I find my Ortofon is plenty good for most rock and pop recordings. I use the Denon for better recordings, classical and well-recorded jazz. I save the wear on the Denon when the quality of the LP isn... | |
| Speaker Help What about Golden Ear Triton 2+s? Based on what you say, this might be ideal. Anything with a folded ribbon tweeter is worth a demo, IMHO. The Triton Ones I heard were not at all bright, but still detailed. The powered woofers will give you a ... | |
| How to get good sound out of this for music only? If you are careful, you can use masking tape to fix the dented tweeter. Gently apply the tape to the dent, and gently pull it away. When the dent pops out, peel, rather than pull, the tape off. It is possible that the speakers need to be re-bro... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? @mlsstl - Provided you and the folks at Ohm agree that the 1000 is the right Walsh speaker for your space, I expect you’ll be pleased. Just a few points: The standard current Walsh line are not full omnis like the old F’s were. They attenuate outp... | |
| What are these worth, and what can I sell them for? @stereo5 - Thanks for that Kruipen link. It is new to me a wonderful resource. | |
| LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR @ebm - I have heard the S5 MkII with 500 watt tube/class D hybrid monoblocks from Arion Audio. Seemed like a good combo to me. | |
| insurance and shipping with UPS UPS destroyed an amp I had sent to the manufacturer for repair. The manufacturer handled everything, so I don’t know how it was settled, but the 64 lb. amp was not double boxed. The amp was obviously dropped at some point. When I sent it in, I had... | |
| LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR @Dave & Troy - Have you actually heard the current line of Ohm Walsh speakers? (To quote JGH, "if you haven't heard it, you don't have an opinion.") Yes, they are not everyone's cup of tea, which is why I suggested a home audition rather tha... | |
| LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR I would recommend an in-home audition of the Ohm Walsh 5000. At $6600 a pair, they will save you some cabbage, and I would stack them against anything mentioned so far in this thread. The only one I hacve heard that I think might be a bit bette... | |
| Has Paypal suddenly started charging sales tax? @brhatten - Oops. My bad. A senior moment. One of many. |
