I think these speakers will amaze you. I to went from box speakers to planars to Ohms walsh. Four days ago the walsh 5 MK-2 arrived that i ordered. They are on 24 hours a to speed up the break-in and already sound great. These are replacing my 16 year old walsh 4XO's and i will say they sound better then ever. The micro walsh and all the walsh series are said to sound the some, the differences are in how deep they go (cabinet size),(driver size). John at Ohm is helpfull and will not try sell you anything you don't need.
