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


Hi,

I'd love to hear the impressions of people who've actually spent some time with these speakers to share their sense of their plusses and minuses. Mapman here on Audiogon is a big fan, and has shared lots on them, but I'm wondering who else might be familiar with them.

Back for a little update....

Got the cabinets all cleared out, vacuumed and prepped for sound deadening materials.
The "Cans" are taken apart and I finally figured out how he dampens and in the same time allows the cone to vibrate through the full frequency range, pretty cool indeed.

The more I'm considering a new design concept the more exiting it gets.
The thought is to move the switches and crossover down in to the cabinet, away from
magnets/drivers, and with that I can give the driver housing a new form factor. I will retain some perforated metal but I will use aluminum as is much deader, doesn't ring and it's also easier to form and anneal.
There will be no "Can" but a fresh new take on how I think it should look.
It could be Carbon Fiber, or Maple or both with my new matte blood red color scheme.
my bud the metal guy was here for Christmas and we will build the horizontal brace
from SS fully polished, vertical stand offs are also SS fully polished. I'm also considering a belt line right under the grille wrapping around the speaker also in SS.

This will be one sexy speaker when I'm done with it, it should look like it come out of a 
big manufacturers work shop all perfect....

Going to bed, more tomorrow I hope, and I told my son if a meteor hits me
go in the garage find the stuffing, the rest you can figure out.....lol 🇸🇪






Morning.....

Just woke up and all I could do was thinking about the speaker. What is that
crossover? or why is that crossover so damn complicated, is switches in the
audio path a good thing  (I honestly don't think so) but I might be wrong.
Would it be rational to simplify? would I see a gain in Transparancy? Or am I chasing
my tail? So I guess I'll make a flow chart were all the parts go and with that see if simplification is on the board. 

So the plan is to move the crossover either to a separate box outside the speaker
or install them on the bottom of the cabinet. Even though these are fairly large sized speakers space is not easy to come by due to the 4" tube and bracing.

peace out....🇸🇪

peterr53 - Remember that there is really only one setting of the switches that works for each listener in a given room.  If you want, you could make your settings permanent and fixed, and eliminate the switches.  This would reduce the speakers' utility in other rooms or for other listeners, however.
peter if you have a way of posting some pictures I would love to see those.   You could start a virtual system here just for this.
Hey guys....

Im not to worried about other rooms or listening positions, so I think ixney all the switches
will happen for sure. I just got a photobucket account and would love to share asap.
I also thinking about doing a YouTube video showing the speakers and maybe talking a little about my experience with the Ohm's......

Got to go to LAX...🇸🇪
