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

Bondman,
The hum I'm getting is with the TV on or off. It only went away when I disconnected the audio cables from the TV to the preamp. I ordered a TII 220 Ground Loop Isolator for the cable box connection and hope this fixes the issue.

disconnecting the cable wire should indicate if that is the problem. If the hum exists only with cable wire connected. 

I I had this problem with Comcast specifically. I switched to Verizon which uses optical ire feeds afterwards and no more hum.  But the transformer device I mentioned did solve that problem with Comcast. 

No no way to know if the cable line is the problem or not with testing by disconnecting the cable feed. 

Bondmanp,

Yes, the Ohm's still continue to amaze me.  I first noticed the string oscillations on the Yes song Roundabout.  The acoustic guitar intro clearly showed the string oscillations and textures that seem to be hidden with other speakers

The same goes for piano.  I thought the micro talls did an excellent presentation of piano.  Only when the 1000's were fully broken in did I realize that they were superior to the micro talls in fleshing out the tones and textures of piano strings.

I could go on and on.  If I ever get enough money, I may get a set of the 5's and better amplification and consider it my ultimate system.  John has won a customer for life, and at age 63, these speakers will probably outlast me, and the thought of that makes me very happy!

I've heard it all over the years.  Many speakers have their unique charms but I find none as satisfying musically overall as my big F5s.  The 100s also but only in a smaller room.   No tubes needed but one or two further upstream cannot hurt.  

I'm expecting my Walsh 2.2000 upgrade tomorrow.
It will be interesting to hear the difference.

Any tips on the install?
Since I am using the Walsh 1 cabinets, no crossover removal is needed.
