Another suggestion is any album by Aimee Man (Mann?). I have listened to several, including "Lost In Space" last night. Note that this was the standard Redbook CD, not the remastered CD that is out there. Really exiting and emotionally involving. One thing I've noticed lately, is that I have to retract what I've said about the soundstage being laid back, at the plane of the speakers or behind them. On some CDs, like the Aimee Man recordings, the sound is absolutely projected fore and aft of the speakers, as well as side-to-side and top-to-bottom. The soundstage is absolutely huge, and extends above and outside the walls of my room. A real treat! Maybe they are continuing to break in even now. All of this is very dependent on the source material. The Ohm Walsh speakers are really a window on the source.
As for surround experiences, I do want to stress that my Vandersteen center is an okay match for the Ohms, but clearly is less than perfect. It has a bit of the roughness in the upper-mids/lower-treble that was characterisitc of the 1Cs. It's not terrible, but I will definitley be ordering an Ohm center when I have the wood. I watched The DaVinci Code for the first time over the weekend. Unlike with music, the film itself distracts one from evaluating the sound, but it seemed excellent to me. The sound of a car that entered from the left, behind the camera, and drove towards the center-left front of the screen tracked beautifully and seemlessly. I am very confident in recommending Ohm Walsh speakers for surround use. An ideal combo of diffuse ambience and pinpoint localized sounds.
And, John S., you are most welcome. Best of luck to you and your fantastic company!
