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.

Wow! I finally got to hear a DOUBLE PAIR of Ohm Fs. I was at an audio club event in New Jersey at Harry Weisfeld’s home in Holmdel, NJ. Harry owns two pair of restored Ohm F speakers, with a wooden bracket that allows the second pair to be placed, upside-down, over the first pair. They are connected in series. I had seen these before, on static display (and even saw a similar pair for sale on ebay for $10,000). I don’t have the money or the room for such a set up, nor do I have the amplifier power.


This pair of pairs of Ohm Fs sounded very good. Smooth, fairly extended, and with all of the soundstage attributes you’d expect. Sadly, the room was on the the small side for these speakers, and the amplification was a restored Marantz receiver from the 1970s. I suspect (and have heard from others who have listened to these pairs) that a larger room and more powerful amplification would have made them really sing. Still, I am glad I got to hear them.

Thanks guys...

I do want to take the high road on most issues, but the monster mess of a X-over Pushed me over the edge the other day...lol

Those double F's has been offered on the bay for years, cool idea
none the less.
I am looking at which tweeter makes sense with the Walsh driver and two types are in contention at the moment. Raal and Aurum booth can be X-over fairly low with no issues.
 It'll be interesting to see at what upper frequency the Walsh driver poops out. I attached a frequency sweep image.

There is two measurements at 1m but at two volume levels.
Please give me feedback.

Best....🇸🇪

Just to clarify further I ran a pink wide and noise for the measurements...

PS. IM also selling the center channel as it does not match my front
even a little bit......got to go bigger.
The ad is here on Audiogone. I will have some better images tomorrow when I get the new (black cloth) grill material on.
And the speaker looks spectacular with the new driver, and me cleaning up the diy look...

Don't be put off by that response graph.  My 2000s' response graph had a similar overall shape.  IMHO, systems that tilt downward to the right are much more listenable, realistic, and involving over the long run.  If you want, EQ the system to be flat and see how you like it.  I know I would not like it at all.
