Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Thank you for all three replies - that all sounds very hopeful. My inclination is to try the 1000. The volume of my room, with 9' ceiling, is just over the 1000 mark, and excessive bass has never been an issue with any speaker I have used (Altec A... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
All,Coming in to this game pretty late...  My room is 8X14 with a french door opening to the living room, and I'm always looking for a speaker that can make the room appear larger than it is. I'm about to move some Magnepan .7s today. I wanted to ... 
Magnepan .7 review
Nice writeup - thanks for taking the time to do it. I'm quite happy with some recently acquired equipment: Naim Nait XS-2 and Totem Arros.I have a very small room, but I would still like to try the .7 at some point. I think the Nait XS-2 would be ...

All very helpful, thank you! I have Kimber 4TC and 8TC in the house, but I'll consider the Chords.

Hey Marco1 - did you actually have the Arro/Plinius in your system? 
Analog integrated amp recommendation
Belles Aria - well below your budget and simply musical. 
Any love for the Belles Aria or other recent Belles amplifier?
Mezzanine,Thanks for the post.  Between work and getting ready to take my daughter to college (she is going to a school 1/2 hour away from Amherst Audio - where I'll be picking up the Reynaud speakers), I haven't had much time to really dig in to ...

I asked the original question, and since then I've had some time to compare the Hot Rod, 150A Ref. Mk 2, and the Aria.  I also have an EL34 amp, T-amp, Sonneteer Alabaster, Rogue Sphinx, and some others.  I have used Totem, Triangle, Finale Vivace...

Rich and JohnnyR - thank you for the additional information.  It looks like I can find a nice condition 150a V2 a few hours away, so I will try that with my passive transformer volume control (sounds great with the Hotrod).  If I need more gain, I...

Thanks birbygdad and whitestix - great info! 
Any love for the Belles Aria or other recent Belles amplifier?
I just purchased a pair of Reynaud Bliss Silvers/Magic Stands, and I have Triangle Zerius and a pair of demo Finale Vivaci Mini speakers.  Different amps from the Belles lineup will match up better with different speakers, or at least that is my a...

Thanks jl35 - I'll look for his posts.  The soloist was another consideration.  Good to hear you like yours so much. 
Suggestions for DAC auditions - upgrade from HRT III+?
Thank you mesch and denmen.  I'm on track to either buy something a few years old with a good discount or a really good but affordable current model in my price range.  Still determining the best value based on my research...I'll check out the ECD...
