| Speakers for Odyssey Stratos Extreme monos While I would agree with Wendell in principle, I myself ended up doing it the O.P.'s way. Since you already have the amps, I would suggest you do not commit to speakers that you cannot try in your own home first. The Odyssey speakers have a 30-day... | |
| Decent moderate priced speaker for large room The Klipsch are a naturally good idea - get the biggest model you can afford. Also, most of the horn-loaded, larger JBLs, old Atlec-Lansing speakers, and the like, plus Cerwin Vega speakers, are other high SPL, high efficiency brands.Another idea ... | |
| Do you know how Kirksaeter speakers sound? Heard a few models at an HE show a few years back. Nice, balanced sound without any glare or edge, IMO. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks for the suggestions, Michael. My piano problems are more or less solved. It seems there was a push in the mids that repositioning the speakers and the acoustic treatments have reduced dramatically.Last night I listened to Mozart's Requiem b... | |
| shopping and need advice I am nearing the end of a 4 month audition of Ohm Walsh 2000s. Although these are out of your price range, you might do well with the MicroWalsh Talls, near the top of your range. You did not mention your room size, but room volume ranges are spec... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Big news! My invitation to members of my local audio club has paid off big time. Last night, one of the more knowledgeable members of the club came by.Perhaps it was sloth, perhaps a reluctance to buy into the importance of the room and setup, but... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Joefish - A lot depends on your room. If your room is very large, you will be pushing them harder for the same apparent output level. If pushed too hard, the Yammi could clip, and that could damage the super-tweeter in the MWT (or any speaker). Yo... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks, all. Please keep the piano recommendations coming. Meanwhile, I will revisit some of the offending recordings to see if the issue is dissapating at all.I resent my email to John Strohbeen. Still waiting for a reply. I assume he is still in... | |
| open/energetic but not harsh? what am i describing I thought my Vandersteen 1Cs were harsh because of my electronics. I replaced almost the entire signal chain, adding a tube preamp, new amp, cables, power cords, etc. Things improved, but I ended up realizing that the speakers were the culprit. Ei... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Crunch Time!One month remains of my 4 month trial. In all honesty, I like most of what the 2000s do, and want to keep them. One by one, all of my issues with these speakers have been resolved, except one: The problems with piano reproduction just ... | |
| Audio Newbie Question-Asperion Speakers You have a large space to fill with sound, 888dewey. Plus, although I am a Pioneer fan, the 519VK is not really a powerhouse. IMO, you need to find a pretty efficient (over 89dB efficiency rating) loudspeaker unless you will limit yourself to back... | |
| who has experience with Joseph Audio? Every time I heard Joseph speakers at the NYC H.E. shows, I always went away impressed. Very smooth, open, natural sounding speakers, IMHO. Enjoy! | |
| Weighting down Vandy 2wq's? Hifiman5 - I have the exact same set up as you - basement, carpeted cement floor and two 2Wqs. Funny story: In an effort to get a box of spare bathroom tiles off the floor, and having very limited space for storage in my home, I put the fairly hea... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Lat night I listened to a CD of Copland pieces, including Fanfare for the Common Man and Appalachian Spring. Although there was no piano in the mix (piano pieces were the worst offenders of the lower midrange abberation I was hearing), the sound w... | |
| "Warmer" Speaker - $600-1000 Range Dmloring: Your amp is indeed powerful enough, provided your room is of modest dimensions. The demo I heard was with a receiver that output around 30 watts/channel.As for the "fullness" of the minuet's sound, that, IMO, is one of the most surprisin... |
