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

Mapman - I own a few. All bought for a buck or three each. I have a Mercury Living Stereo of Fredrick Fennel conducting songs by Cole Porter, engineered by Wilma Fine (pre-Mrs. Cozart days). It is pristine, both the LP and the jacket, and is one of the best sounding LPs I have ever heard. Enjoy your new finds!

It's a shame that they don't make many recordings like those anymore.

The inside of the one lp's gatefold is filled with a bunch of technical information and charts and diagrams outlining the recording process in great detail, including where the players were located in the recording venue for reference in that the expectation is that you should be able to locate them within the soundstage at the locations indicated.

Back in those days (very early 60's), hifi stereo recordings were new and a novelty that was marketed to the masses based on the sound quality in packages like these.

Imagine that?

I was just a young kid at the time but I think that was probably a big part of creating my interest in music and stereos at the time.

THen the novelty of stereo hifi wore off I suppose for most except us audiophile type kooks and the rest is history I suppose.

Nice to see this thread is still going. I had the Micros and was blown away by their sound! I exchanged for a larger Ohm 100- and now 3000. Utterly captivating in their sound.

Sndsrtaud,

What's your assessment of the 3000s versus the 100s you had prior? Do you know if the 100s were series 2 or 3?

Thanks.

Mapman. The 3000 are on the way from Ohm. I moved to a different house and am using different amps. I needed to go with the 3000 as my listening room has about 2X the volume of my old room.

But here’s the thing.I’ve owned/reviewed the following speakers over the past 40 years: Wharfedale W60, EPI 150, Braun L710, DCM Time Window, Spendor SP1/2, Mirage M3-si, Monitor Audio Studio 6, APL Serenade, JM Labs Daline 3.1, Micron Karat, Wisdom Audio 50, Clements 206di, Shamrock Eire, Equation 7, 9, Silverline S12, SR15, SR17, Panatella, Sonatina, Sonata, Galante Rhapsody, SAP Quartete, Klipschorn, Klipsch Belle, Heresy, KG4, Shahinian Obelisk, Omega Super 3, Harbeth C7II, Lamhorn, Altec Valencia, JM Reynaud Twin, Trente, Offrande, Magneplanar 1.2, GPA 604-8H, Ohm Micro Walsh, 100, ...

IMO, the Ohms are on the top of the heap.

I’ll be sure to post an update once I get them, etc.
