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

Monk,

Very cool you have the Blue Circle OHMs! I'd love to hear those.

OHM models 5 and 5000 have 4 three way level adjustments. Perspective equates to a mid-range adjustment essentially on those. I suspect yours is similar?

The other three are for treble and low and mid bass.

I find the controls extremely useful to help tweak the sound as needed to compensate fro room acoustics.

Jwc2012: Well, I sorted out the short. It seems the unbalanced main outputs on my preamp have failed. The wires are fine. Fortunately, my preamp has three sets of unbalanced main outputs, so I switched to a different set. Everything works fine, although I am a bit upset that this will be an issue if I ever sell the preamp. I'd either have to have it repaired or take a much lower price. Most of all, I thought I was buying a bullet-proof preamp, but the first one I bought had the same issue out of the box. I exchanged it, and 2.5 years later, I have the same issue with the second unit. I suppose the weight of the long RCA cables might have pulled something loose in the preamp, but that should not have happened. In any case, I now have the cables dressed in a way that does not stress the output jacks.

But I am back to basking in glorious Ohm Walsh sound!

Well, the switch does help dial in the enjoyment factor! But I am a tweaker by heart :)

The BM2 replaced Merlin VSM-MXe's so they must be doing something correctly! What Ohm's do for large scale, dynamic performances has to be heard. 2c3d when set up in a audiophile manner (ie no Video screen between them, well out into the room), whether it's large symphonie or piano/voice... you're there, they're here... good stuff indeed!

Monk, sounds like things are working out just the way they should. Enjoy! You have some very unique speakers there!

Yup, unique is the right word. Blue Circle doesn't have any mention of the BM2 on its web site, including in the History section. Too bad.
