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.
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.

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...🇸🇪 |
Hejsan.... Just a little Swedish to start the post. Sitting in the car with no music or talk radio is fantastic for some deep thoughts, ideas or pure fantasies.... 😎 So I checked out the wall thickness of the speakers and realized that I have a full 5/8" thickness, so what do you do to minimize vibrations without spending the big dough? A few ideas popped in to my mind, the most drastically would be to build up another layer on the outside from mdf, but it adds bulk, and I already have a fantastic paint job that'll be ruined so forget that. I could add slate on the inside walls, but that makes the speaker volume smaller and the speaker heavier.....Man I feel like I'm overthinking things a bit, but damn I LOVE overthinking things lol. Decided to go with cork 1/4" thick self adhesive, super easy to cut shape and get in to nasty little crevices. I also got some polyester fill sheets that I'll glue to all the cross beams and sharp corners. Im sure this will suffice to prevent extra reflections and vibrations in the box. Tomorrow I'll have time to run a sweep on the main driver to see where it starts to drop of frequency wise, so let's see if it goes to 7k as I've read here on audio gone. Gentlemen I will try to upload some images for your pleasure in a bit...🇸🇪 |
Homemade tamales from my best friends wife...Oh baby Finally got around to snap some shots of the project. http://s1248.photobucket.com/user/peterhorvath6233/media/ohm%202_zpsvedyc7rp.jpg.html?filters[user]=... Here is an interior shot of the cabinet with a smattering of braces DIY style, no CNC machined anything, just zip zip on the chop saw. If you look closely, you'll see some adhesive rubber gaskets...?? Great you say, until you'll realize that it's from the original driver config. I.E. No one took the time utilizing the step of the edge to seal the cabinet properly...Sigh (or remove them). http://s1248.photobucket.com/user/peterhorvath6233/media/ohm%201_zpsmsrrdv0n.jpg.html?filters[user]=... Cabinet on the concrete platform and custom stand off. If weight is important, it has it, as it weighs close to 60lbs each. Finish is an automotive dark grey high gloss. Most of it will change as the project goes forward. http://s1248.photobucket.com/user/peterhorvath6233/media/ohm%203_zpsknrvuofe.jpg.html?filters[user]=... Closeup of the stand, this will change to be made from 100% stainless steel and not a blend of powder coating and SS. Now Im going in to the World Head Quarters workshop... |
