| History on ohm A's and F's. By the way, I would not consider Ohm CLS drivers to be "exotic". The technology is unique and affordable, perhaps, but if you were to look inside the cage, the actual driver is butt ugly THBOMK. Thank God it is hidden! Its like that episode of Sta... | |
| Preamp recommendations up to $2000 Xrayz,I'm in a similar boat as you regarding a possible pre-amp upgrade in the same general price range. I have identified many options including some mentioned here. I think when and if I do it, I will create a short list and then look to see whi... | |
| Highly Recommended CHILL OUT CDs??? Actually, most everyone in South park needs to chill out a bit. They get worked up about most anything now don't they?Especially Peruvian Pan Flute Bands....... | |
| Highly Recommended CHILL OUT CDs??? There is no doubt Enya has been on of the most successful "chill out" artists out there.Those kids in South Park need to chill out a bit, especially Cartman......"Moonchild" by King Crimson is a great chillout piece, especially the notorious long ... | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. Interesting. This is the first I heard of Huff and their exotic driver speaks. Nice that they are US made apparently. Price wise, they appear to live somewhere between the Ohm world and German Physiks.So where can one go to on the east coast to ac... | |
| How much power is to much power? "When is an amp overkill for a speaker?"I guess the simple answer is: when it overdrives or fries the speakers.Practically, however, in most cases fried speakers are a result of not enough power resulting in clipping. And, if the speaker is being ... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Man-Erg - Van Der Graaf Generator.Beautiful in quite an aching kind of way. | |
| What is your favorite recording with a quirck "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" by Van Der Graaf Generator is one big 20 minute quirck. | |
| Preamp recommendations up to $2000 Tvad,I'd be very interested in your observations on the Juicy Music pre. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? ...and, one of the most important facts, one can try the Ohms out in your own listening room risk free to hear what they bring to the table. I think anybody looking to plunk down mega-bucks on a pair of speakers (many on this site) would be well s... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Arro's shouldn't sound "flat". That should get better with break-in I expect.I've heard Arro's but never a/b'ed them concurrently with Ohms. I think the Arros should do extremely well with imaging (for a standard box design) at least at the sweet ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? " Well, if any of you guys want to give my arro's a good home"Sorry, but I/m not looking to replace my Ohms.Otherwise, for a smaller room, Arro's would be on my short list.Rebbe, seriously, obviously only you know what satisfies you. Same with any... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "Jaybo, whether the Arros will dramatically change to resemble the Micro Talls or not, you must agree that 10 hours on any speaker is insufficient time on which to base a judgment on their performance."I would agree also.One thing I would say with... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Rebbe,Live and learn. We've all taken some financial hits I think over the years one way or another with this hobby.Next time, in order to mitigate the risk of potentially taking a loss, consider either buying used first (so you can sell without t... | |
| DBX Expander I don't hear those issues with it either. Impact restoration would be an interesting enhancement to try, though impact of percussion is certainly improved significantly just through expansion as is with the 3bx S2. Percussion has startled me and m... |
