I'm gonna shamelessly give this thread one more "bump" and then quietly give up. :-)No other comments on either of these monitors? 
Ohm Model F - What amp/receiver should I get?
Message Mapman. He knows a lot about Ohm speakers. And do look at that other Ohm thread. Lots of good info there!

No feedback? Wow, okay. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Thanks for the nice feedback, folks! The system is sounding wonderful, although I'm at a loss to describe exactly what has improved in moving to the new amplification. The music seems more "alive," in general. Instrumental textures are more palpab... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?

Bondmanp,I get the "picking apart" thing... it's natural to do with something this expensive, plus you're acutely aware that you can still get much of your money back (except for shipping those beasties) within your test period. I'm not made of mo...

Hey, Dante7 and everyone,I'm back after Thanksgiving break.In a word, the new electronics sound glorious! Since I changed so much at once -- both the power amp and the preamp - it's difficult to know what is due to what. But here's what I'm observ...
