Hi rez achieved while maintaining decor...Guidocorona,I don't know if they will be at the show but I doubt it.You could call Ohm (contact info at www.ohmspeakers.com) and inquire. Most likely, the phone will be answered by ... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
Hi rez achieved while maintaining decor...Well, you won't find a dealer for sure in that they are only sold direct these days.Also not likely to be at the show. Too bad.The only way short of a trip to the east coast or find... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
Hi rez achieved while maintaining decor...Guidocorona,The VA Muzick sound very nice indeed.However they do cost $27000. Ohm Walsh S3's cost $1000-$6000. That's a big difference that might be invested elsewhere in a system i... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |

Hi rez achieved while maintaining decor...Chad,Also I was wondering if I really said somewhere that older gear is better? If I did, I would retract that statement in that such a generalized assertion can clearly not be supported. posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
Hi rez achieved while maintaining decor...Chadeffect,My Carver pre-amp is "old' (very late 80's), but my Denon CD/recorder is only about 2 years old and is still sold new.The Denon only cost $599 list, but that's anoth... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
Hi rez achieved while maintaining decor...Yes, and I'm a convenience and reliability freak and would prefer to not have to go to real tubes at all in order to retain the big sound stage with easy on the ears yet detailed sound that I like. posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
