Anybody listen to Ohm Walsh speaker w/digital amp?


Digital amps have such a "grip" on loudspeakers I couldn't help but wonder what Ohm Walsh speakers sound like with digital amps. I'm currently running my Ohm Walsh 200MkII's with a Denon AVR-3805 surround receiver. Anybody heard such a set-up with say a PS Audio, or Bel Canto, digital amp???

Hi Condocondor

With my Ohm Walsh 2s I was able to get them cranking loud and clear with just a Class D Audio SDS-224 amplifier. My room was a long rectangular one with 8ft ceilings.
Condo,

I use Bel Canto Ref1000m monoblocks, 500 w/ch into 8 ohms.

I have two pair of OHM Walsh speakers in use:

- smaller 100 Series 3 in OHM Walsh 2 cabinets in smaller room

-larger 5 series 3 in OHM F cabinets in larger room

Amps drive both pair to the max loud and clear with no sign of clipping or strain in either. With the smaller OHMS, the 500w/ch might be a bit of overkill, but they do not object to the extra power at all.
Finsup,

Sorry this reply is 2 years late, but I must have missed this thread on its last go round.

I'm of two minds on that question. The living room looks great and the gear makes a fashion statement that complements it. When used, the system sounds very, very good. However, music in that room is 99% generated by my wife or daughter playing piano, so the system gets very little use. The rational answer is "No, I wouldn't do it again". Too much money for the level of use. But, as noted above, I'm far from rational when it comes to this hobby.

BTW, the further irony is that none of my gear gets a ton of use these days. About 5 years ago, I got serious about playing guitar and practice time has eaten way into my listening time. Despite the inventory, most of my listening is now done outside the house, either in the car or MOG thru Bluetooth speakers on the road. C'est la vie.
