Their construction quality is one of the worst in the industry.

Gallo doesn't have the Bose advertising budget. His speakers are EXCELLENT.

It's definitely not about acceptance, and the audiophiles are often more confused than the novices. My rule of thumb is $1000 for the mains, then sprinkle in the surrounds... Even though I'm running an integrated for my two channel set-up, I prefer seperates for HT, so I agree that having a...

15" Plus stands? I would suggest Ohm Microwalsh Talls. I'm a Vandersteen fan, and I'm really glad they didn't fit into my space, otherwise I would have never tried the Ohms! Ohms were not my first choice, but they were worth a try due to space limitations. They are fantastic speakers, and...

We are exposed to so much noise! I wore my etymotic headphones (basically earplug/ear buds) with my ipod on my way into work once. I took the subway in that day and when I got into the office I felt so relaxed. It was a nice change, not being exposed to all of that street/subway noise...

I've run into Genelecs many times over the years in recording studios. Their sonic signiture was always way too bright for me and most other people I know. However, I did recently mix a song with a producer using the newer 8000 series monitors, and I liked them much better. I know Genelec...

hey 20to20 - As I've mentioned before, I'm not a Paradigm fan. People's tastes are one thing, so if listeners here like the sound, that's fine. But in this world of disposable goods (my parents still have kitchen appliances from the 50s that kick a**! - my DVD player lasted a year), I hate to...

I hope you can delve a little further and find someone helpful. I know a lot of people like Paradigm, so it would be a drag for someone interested in them to not to give them a try, due to bad customer support.

"A simple solution would have been to let me pay the difference for a new model, is this unfair or too much to ask?" No, that's why I mentioned how you acted reasonably! I was just thinking the same thing as Tempest. Sounds like you're dealing with an intern. Although I'm not at all a...

Sorry to hear about your experience. With the competition that Paradigm faces, one would think that they'd take care of their customers better - especially one who invested a lot, and acted reasonably. My advice would be to see what your local dealer can do about cutting you deal on...

I've heard about the back-orders. I haven't heard them yet, tell us what you think.

I heard an epos sub with a pair of ELS 3 Monitors at the Home Entertainment Show in NY a couple of weeks ago. Sounded really nice.

If music is your interest, instead of film, I'd suggest investing in a two channel-only integrated amplifier instead of more speakers.

Yes, that's basically it. The original Walsh speaker was full range and 360 degree omni. They were really hard to drive, so the later versions adopted a tweeter (which doesn't come into play until around 8k, so the cone is most of the frequency range that we hear) and a bass port. The new...

Every day I listen to my system, I become a bigger and bigger fan of the Ohm Walsh series speakers (I've had the MicroWalsh talls since November). They started in the early 70s and are still going strong. With the Ohms, however, you will not experience "mainstream sound." These are true...

Now go back to headphone.com with Chris' comments. They make a lot of sense, good to have a little "grounding" when looking at audio gear. I just mentioned headphone.com for a starting point. I just have one of their Airhead amps as an on-the-fly volume control while I edit on my laptop...

AVA has one. Their amps/pre-amps are excellent: http://www.avahifi.com/root/equipment/amplifier/omegastar_240_3.htm

Other!: I have a pair of Ohm MicroWalsh Talls. They only cost a grand and when I got back home from the Home Entertainment Expo yesterday, listened to them again and confirmed that they easily hung with most of the floorstanders (under 3-4k). The biggest difference being low level detail in...
