| A Budget Amp Comparison One of the "intents" of this thread was to reinforce an idea that is woven throughout hundreds of forum threads/comments: that you can enter/enjoy this hobby without spending a fortune...that "budget" equipment can sound pretty darn good....and t... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( I don't think the market has gone soft but I do think the market has changed which means that the sellers have to change as well.Lets face it, there is new "latest and greatest" technology and sound gear coming out all the time (if you believe all... | |
| Beware the audio guru When people buy something on Amazon, they generally lean away from products with a lot of negative reviews...but when it comes to Audio, Yanni vs Laurel should convince most of us that while the opinions of others may be helpful, ultimately we mus... | |

| Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder Hey guys, thanks for the comments and offers. In retrospect, I screwed up... I was in Allentown a couple weeks ago for a few days and could have easily dropped by the ohm factory. | |
| Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder @bondmanp Thanks for your comments. Here is the reason I think it would be interesting to hear more directly from John...Most of us can probably say that we know people that own modestly priced Tektons, Zu, Spatials, Kefs, Maggies, Logans, etc. ... | |
| Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder John, it’s great to hear from you directly!!One of the points that ohm emphasizes is good sound throughout the room. For many of us with a prime listening position, a widely dispersed sound is less important than live, realistic, dynamic, music w... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( @kdude66 Kenny, you would probably being doing people a big favor if you gave more details on where you sold your gear, what % of the retail price you ended up with and any other tweaks that might be helpful | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( I’d like to throw out one more concern on the resale topic... if you scan the items for sale on audigon, then scan a bunch of threads...what you may notice is the same 100-200 names... not a very big pool of regulars who might be potential buyers.... | |
| Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder Does the description “Omni sound” also mean that from the prime listening position the ohms can throw a big image with height, width and depth or is this not in their wheelhouse? | |
| Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder I have no doubt that loudspeaker designers (think Eric Alexander, Sean Casey, Clayton Shaw, Paul Barton, John Strohbeen...and many others) are designing products that to their ears, sound like music with the goal to be as musically engaging as pos... | |
| Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder I suspect that all the discussion of off axis image and off the shelf components misses the point which most people want to hear about. The ohms have been around for a long time yet very little has been written on “ how the compare”.You don’t rem... | |
| Why Aren't More Speaker Designers Building Augmented Widebanders? Here is a widebander that I think has push and pull....push because most speaker buyers aren't thinking widebander....pull because its got good reviews, budget price and support by decware...i haven't pulled (no pun intended) the trigger yet but I... | |
| Is the move up to Parasound Halo A21 worth it? The way I see it, all of the "equipment" plus the room work together (or against each other) to deliver a sound that you either like, or wish was better. Once you start thinking that there might be something better, you have opened the door to lo... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? @honashagen you should consider any specific recommendation of equipment as anecdotal as it may not sound nearly as impressive in your system. Although unlikely, it’s absolutely possible that a $3k tube preamp won’t impress you as much as a $1k so... |
