Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?

Hey guys...

Mapman long time no see :)

Yes that is the 5000 driver, due to all the glue and other leftovers from the "Cage"
i decided I needed  new drivers as they will be in the open. But John and the crew had 
scraped and minimized any proof or name of manufacturer. So I scanned the internets
and voila......Wouldn't you know it, there it was in all its glory lol
Now I do have to add some doping to the paper cone and I want to cut of some ugly
metal tabs most likely used in the paint process.

Today I started to lay out the tweeter bridge, I'm using a 3/4" aluminum plates
laser cut and CNC machined. The whole tweeter assembly will float on a magnetic
repulsion system......totally cool me thinks😎

Peterr53,
The speakers are looking good.
I will try to visit soon so I can check them out in person.

Thanks bud I'm trying....

Had an opportunity to talk to the importer of the tweeter units, and found out that
they are coming out with an upgraded unit....lol
So the question is, should I go with the "old" style tweeter or should I spend more
and get the new units.....Damn! And oh-well.

More soon.........🇸🇪

So more info dropped in to my inbox.

By now everyone nows that the  "Walsh" driver falls of dramatically 
after about 2.4k which meens we have to x-over the tweeter as close to that frequency give or take  a few hundred hz. The ribbon tweeter I originally was going to use, likes to be crossed over at about 2.2k-2.4k with a fairly aggressive slope. The newer tweeter
is easier to drive (98db) and I can blend it in way lower at 1.6k with no issues and for the back fill I'll use the older version.
More money but I think it'll be worth it in the long run.

This is exciting.....🇸🇪

Omnis are, and will remain, the odd and distinctive animal in the speaker zoo...

They demand care in placement (location, location, location....we're heard that elsewhere, right?).

They will be effected by the space they're in...the size, the materials within it, and the shape and proportions of said space.

To eq or no will be subject to above, the equipment 'upstream' (gee, what a surprise...), what's being played, how it was mixed, and (of course) taste.

The fact that this thread stretches 52 pages is amazing.  Particularly to me...*G*

And the fact that the reviewer in the posted review can only put the Ohms up against the German Physiks?  At that price spread?  Damn....

There's other omnis...are they 'also rans', or has the field narrowed to that degree?

Wow....

Pardon me....I've got work to do....;)
