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

I have 6 micro Walshes on the walls as surround speakers and I'm sorry to tell you but they 
don't perform very well on the high end of the spectrum. I'll run a frequency sweep on those later so you can see. 

🇸🇪

peter I don’t do surround sound but from what I have seen most surround speakers do not perform as well as mains unless I am mistaken (size and lower cost per reflects that). I would expect same with microwalsh surrounds (more limited) versus mains (more full range but less bass than larger models). I would not take measurements on one as representative of the other. There is a size and cost difference isn’t there?

Bondman I worked part time at Lafayette Radio in Lancaster Pa. It was located in a strip center outside of town (Two Guys was anchor store) and moved to Park City Center for a brief period. When it closed the location became Radio Shack store and I then worked there for a few years during and a bit shortly after college.  I also worked PT at Tech Hifi during school in New Brunswick, NJ.

But....but come on now, same driver smaller 
housing should not change anything but the bass....right?
Cant imagine they changed everything in the X-over for the tweeter only.
with that said I did previously remark on the hilarious $2 paper tweeter from 1970
and how bad it sounded. I did replace the tweeter with a modern design soft dome 
tweeter that doesn't break up at higher spl's.
I still run some sweeps again for the hell of it should be interesting...

Back again soon....🇸🇪

I don’t know. Just saying I would not assume two different models are equivalent sound wise unless known otherwise. The devil is always in the details. I’ve never heard anything but positive reviews of MicroWalsh talls. Don’t know what might be different with shorts or surrounds. Also John is known to customize for customers liberally as needed or desired. It often can be very hard to distinguish one OHM model from another. There are many variations out there.

I bet he would at least consider using a custom tweeter type if one requested. The main thing he seems to care about is that the customers are satisfied. I’m sure he’d offer up his opinion of ups and downs with any particular variation, maybe even if not actually doing the work.
