| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? In general I think they "open up" further in terms of weight and impact and become more "natural sounding" and detailed in particular through the mid range covered by the Walsh style driver. | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. On all counts? Maybe. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Rebbe,You certainly have nothing to lose by giving the comparison more time. The Arros are very good speakers, as are all Totems I've ever heard...they are supposed to sound as you now describe them. I'm guessing using the spikes now if you weren'... | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. I would also add the the Walsh portion of the newer Ohm CLS drivers also operate on the same bending wave principle.That doesn't mean that old Ohm Walsh, newer CLS and GP DDD drivers necessarily sound the same. I am certain that they do not just l... | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. The difference in basic operating principle between the DDD driver and the Walsh driver on original Ohm F and As is not apparent to me. The drivers are different sizes and cover different frequency ranges for sure, but both seem to operate similar... | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. I think the Ohms were both bending wave and pistonic using a voice coil and foam surround.Sounds like the drive mechanism for the DDD is different as described by Csommovigo as like "striking a bell", but honestly the exact difference is not clear... | |
| Favorite Speakers at RMAF Macrojack, looks are not that important for me with audio equipment either but it is important for many.So what's wrong with that? If a good looking piece floats someone's boat, more power to them! Equipment appeal is mostly a psychological thing ... | |
| Highly Recommended CHILL OUT CDs??? First Portishead is a good call! | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. I think saying the Walsh speaks including As and Fs are pistonic is an accurate statement. Regarding efficiency, though I would not doubt the DDD driver is more efficient than the original Walsh A or F drivers from 30 years ago, I think comparing ... | |

| Coltane Track - Which Album? Agree with Chashmal. | |
| Preamp recommendations up to $2000 Tvad,When will you get the Juicy Music? | |
| Best and Worst Rock Concert Moments Worst: Rolling Stones "Some Girls" tour, JFK Stadium, Philly, ~1978. 100,000 general admission seats. Gates open and almost get trampled in the rush. Police move in to control the crowd. Crowd starts throwing bottles at police cars. Police come in... | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. "Even Spock???"Yes, even Spock!Although as I recal he felt better by the end of the episode.I think it (the episode) was ironically called "Is There in Truth No Beauty?".With the Ohms, I would say there is truth and still some beauty as long as yo... | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. Aktchi:My comment was meant to apply to speakers that I have actually owned and tested over the years in my own house, not necessarily to any that I have ever auditioned or heard. There may well be others out there, but nothing I can think of offh... |
