Hello I was following your thread with much interest . I am a owner of a pair of Walsh 2.2000 speakers . I have had my speakers modified by Ohm I had the cabinets shortened to 13 " and sealed like Ohms satellite style . I place my speakers on top of a pair of REL Q201E subs in stereo . I installed a signal line CAP in my VTL100 tube mono block amps to cut off the LF @ 50 HZ . To get the bass right in my room I use a DSPeaker Antimode 2.0 . I find ths Walsh driver sounds much more articulate this way. To get the sub crossover just right I am using a Mini DSP 2x4 for that purpose . I find the Ohm speaker has a lot to offer if used right . I have mine 2 feet from the wall and 7 feet apart on the long wall . I have not heard many systems better them mine but would like too.
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
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.

enginedr1960: Thanks for the post. Sounds like a very cool rig. I love the DSPeaker, and was tempted a few times to buy one at audio shows. But I actually have a seemless blend with my subs and it is impossible to point them out as a sound source. Like the Ohms, the music just hangs there in mid-air, as if no speakers were in the room. Lovin' it! I dio have a Pioneer AVR for watching video (my system is a combo 2-channel & surround setup), whch has the MCACC room EQ feature. Although the AVR is nnot in the signal chain for 2-channel sources, I can easily hear the improvement infrequency balance that MCACC calibration makes when I listen to music through te AVR. But the cost in transparency and other aspects of the sond are too great. Fortunately, my room is pretty good in terms of acoustics, though far from perfect. In fact, I have tone controls on my preamp and rarely use them. |
The mod on the speaker removed the inductor and switch on the binding post cup . The driver is wired direct to the speaker cables. The subs are on IsoAcoustics ISO -l8r200 stands 4 " tall the tweeter height falls in at 36" from the floor . The best thing about the Ohms is they are coherent . The Mini DSP is a great inexpensive tool for sub adjustments $ 105.00 @ Madisound |
Evening gents or ladies.... Finally got home from the metal shop and made some changes to the 2/2000. Found them to heavy in the bass as they were sitting about an inch or so from the carpet...yikes. Found some footers lifting them up another 3/4" and put them on my concrete platforms. Much better and there's still some midrange suckout that bothers both Tate and my self. The marking for direction was off big time, so I rotated the Speaker so the tweeter was aimed at the seating position. Wow better intelligibility, soundstaging and overall more fun. I think the speaker would sound way better crossed over at 80hz and have the subs pick up the heavy work. As they are they suck HP like mofo's almost in Apogee territory...lol I attached an image of the velocity stack now I just need to make it flush with the bottom of the speaker. I also came up with some F1 tech I want to add (I'll show it when speaker is done). I also have a very cool way to de-couple the tweeter module from the main body of the speaker......🇸🇪 https://www.flickr.com/photos/147883144@N08/32258881340/in/dateposted-public/ |
