| At What Age Does An Audiophile Buy His Last Amp? Holocene epoch for sure. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bje, if you meant do I own the company (OHM) as opposed to the product, well, unfortunately the answer is no.Maybe John Strohbeen will hire me as a promoter someday. I could live with that! | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bjen,Check my system listing. I own 3 pair actually, 2 newer and a pair of older OHM Ls that I have held onto for many years and refurbed myself. I also concurrently run Dynaudio and Triangle speakers.Yes, I walk the walk and talk the talk when it... | |
| Still mystified by mega expensive power cords I tend to view a power cords role of delivering power as separate from filtering or purifying the power. Not to say a power cord might not do both, kind of like how an integrated amplifier serves dual roles in one package. Lots of ways to skin a c... | |
| tube amps and electrostatics "ARC Ref 150 has muscle power and a large reserve power supply, plus my speakers are reasonably sensitive (92 db)"That's a pretty solid combo on paper that should be capable of delivering the goods with the right tweaks. No system is inherently go... | |

IOW, is it only when you start moving out of the sweet spot that omni speakers start to shine?"Sweet spot is usually much bigge... | |

| tube amps and electrostatics Over sweet treble and midrange bloom..... Sounds enticing! | |
| Happy music... Rite of spring is pretty upbeat as well. | |
| tube amps and electrostatics Wouldnt two ohm or less impedance at high frequency be much easier for a ss amp in particular to deal with than if it were low? Way less power needed for high frequencybthan low. Or is it more complicated than that? | |
| tube amps and electrostatics Es speakers are special and worth any special effort needed. Plus you have some good sidekicks here that can help to get them singing. |
