Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Rbf1138 - I checked out your photo - from my experience, Ohms work best in slightly damped rooms. They throw a big image, and if the room is too live, things get muddled. Do you have rugs on the floor, etc? From what I can see in the photo it look... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I used Kimber 4TC and Analysis Plus Clear Oval - They both worked fine.4VS would be good too.. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
That's nice that you got at least a little bit of time in. Something to look forward to, when you get back... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Kbuzz - Interesting... I moved from my MWT's to a pair of Harbeth P3-ESR's. I had the Ohms for quite a while, but the bass was too much for my room, so I really needed a good pair of monitors. I miss my Ohm's but I now know that I made the right d... 
Can Harbeths Perform Well In Nearfield Listening?
Harbeths are one of the best at performing in the near field - that's often how they're used...The P3's will work the best in a room that small - anything else will be too big IMO. If he has a fondness for the BBC sound - then the P3's will suffic... 
Rega Brio R vs Wyred or Bel Canto
Panu21 - I'm using a Simaudio Moon i-3 integrated - great combination with the P-3 Harbeths. I replaced a Cyrus 8vs2 with this amp and saw a big improvement (more than I was expecting). The Moon is much more refined... 
Integrated for Harbeth Small Room System
Hey thanks for those comparisons. I switched from a Cyrus 8vs2 to a SimAudio i-3 and saw a big difference in speed, bass and refinement with the Sim - no contest between those two... 
NOLA Boxers in my space
Not to derail this thread (I like Nola Boxers BTW) - my heart sank when I head PJ Harvey's latest album. Bjork's album isn't as bad, but it's not happenin' either...I threw up in my mouth when I saw that ToneAudio put PJ Harevey's album as one of ... 
Rega Brio R vs Wyred or Bel Canto
Anonymoustao - I'm also a Vandy fan, but definitely look into Harbeths - a lot of guys end their upgrade search with these speakers - I have some P3's and I love 'em. 
Best "small footprint" speaker between $600-1000
I'll third the Ohm MicroWalsh... 
Smooth/Musical Bookshelves upto $1500 - $2000
I listen to a lot of rock and hip hop, and I think the P3's bass is very good - especially near field. I find ATC's only sound good at louder volumes - plus Harbeths are easier to drive... 
Smooth/Musical Bookshelves upto $1500 - $2000
The perfect speaker in this type of set up is the Harbeth P3ESR. Their bass response is excellent - near field listening cannot be beat. They're broadcast monitors, so they're designed for detailed, musical, fatigue free listening, all day long. 
ProAc Studio 100 vs. Proac 1SC vs. Harbeth P3ESR
I've heard the 100's in both demo rooms and recording studios - great speakers, but I have P3-ESR's. Honestly haven't heard the 100's in a while, but I just really dig Harbeth so that's what I'm into. From memory, I found the 100's a little too bo... 
Hi Fi Dealers in NYC - where to find them?
Definitely outside the City is better. Years ago I had a conversation with a very well know speaker designer. I told him I was in NYC and he directed me to audio connection in NJ. He told me to avoid the pompous NYC store that carried his gear! So... 
Recommended Bookshelf Speakers $1200
Nola Boxer, if you can stretch your budget to 1500.
