Re: Omni-directional Speakers?
I have heard a couple of different pairs of Ohm speakers. Decent sound IMO and lots of people enjoy them. Our dearly departed friend Eddie "The Knife" flat out loved them. One observation that really struck me was when I honed in on a piano. It was wide. A little too wide, if you ask me. At least for critical listening in the sweet spot.
They were enjoyable, but I couldn't get over the fact that it literally wrapped from one ear, to behind the speakers, right to the other ear, in a kind of oblong and oval in shape type presentation. Some may find this very appealing. I personally did not.
Other than that one weird thing, nothing else struck me as being bad. I didn't seem to notice this anomaly nearly as much when I was walking around or off axis. Admittedly, I never did mess around with speaker placement and that might have had some influence on it, TBT. If it were my system, I would have played around to see if that had any impact. RIP Eddie and thanks for the good times brother!

Re: REVIEW: REL HT 3D Setup...my take on the "Small vs Large" speaker setting. Also a few pics.
A long time ago, purely out of interest I changed my HT speakers from small to large. I'll never go back.
Glad you're enjoying the rig, Phil.
Hey Jesse, how have you been.
It sure did make quite a difference. Being retired now my preferences have changed a bit to about a 60/40 split HT/2 channel. Enjoying both venues. It's amazing the soundtracks on TV/ streaming now. Why not enjoy both in one system.

Re: Armacell Foam Inside SDA Speaker Baskets - My Experience
@DarqueKinght good stuff there......was the newer MW6511 stamped out of the same gage of steel or was it thinner?
Here's some photos from a Sept. 2009 article that people may now find more interesting:

Re: ISO - Tubed pre-amp recommendations
Just got an email stating that Elekit is selling their kits for 10% off for three days. I didn’t dig too deep, but I assume their preamps are tubed. So if you can build an Amp Camp Amp, you can probably easily build one of these.

Re: Advice on repairing SL1000 tweeter
@blinkbears has a set of 7C's with SL1000's he says. Are they able to take the 198's with the 8uf caps across the resistors like the last revision for SL2500 shows?
(The 198 domes and/or magnets can be adapted to the SL1000 metal plates)

Re: Hana Cartridges
I bought a Hana EH cart a few months ago, and I'm enjoying it. I have it paired with the iFi Zen phono 3 preamp (rear switch set to the #2 position). My turntable is a Technics SL-50C.
