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.

Hi enginedr1960...
(And it looks like the tread is getting some action).

The idea is to keep the cabinets dimension on the outside the same,
but the inside will be remotely nothing like Mr. Walsh had originally designed. So basically what I'm making is a box in a box. Between the two walls there will be butyl rubber and sand. Due to the the way I'm stiffening the cabinet walls I will have to compartamentalize the sand pockets but I might drill holes between the layers. It'll be bitchin I promise. Any down side to all this? Yes the speaker will be way heavier, but hey that's OK with me. Next project this morning is 
Tate's 2/2000 I'll take pictures and post them later....

As one of my favorite YouTube personalities say when signing of...

Keep your d.... in the vice ;) 🇸🇪

So after an afternoon of working on the 2/2000's I found a few reasons to cheer. I took em apart as one of the paper tubes were loose which set up some strange frequency issues/ chuffing which sucks. After looking at the sparse wadding, loose paper roll and a cabinet ringing from no sound deadening, I asked Tate if it was OK if I could do some changes, he declined but I felt that he had loaned me the speakers so I did some anyway......Sorry bud lol

So I installed the velocity stacks, sound deadening/ polyfill, caulked the air leaks. I realized that there was a switch on the x-over played around with it for a while and......Voila' I also rotated the "Can" so 
the tweeter was pointing towards the listening position.

So why isn't Ohm doing this to the speakers is beyond me, now it's sounding fantastic with great imaging proper midrange and overall 
a great speaker.

Dont give up, anything is possible if you try hard enough......🇸🇪
The Question to ask is who did the 2 to 2000 upgrade . I had my Walsh 2s upgraded by Ohm every thing was done wright  they made new top plates for the 2000 drivers which are larger than the 2 drivers  and the tweeter orientation was correct .
Hey....
Did you look inside the cabinet? 
As far as I know (but Tate can tell you) he got all the parts from Ohm
with the markings for direction of tweeter etc.
what I did is totally different, and if it would be my own speakers I would have gone further. But again the speakers are on loan from 
Mr. Tate :)
I did play some very dynamic music running my subs and my wife absolutely loved and it was disco loud and still pleasant...
 As far as for the Walsh driver read my previous take on them and 
looking at these I'm spot on.

Nothing beats a drum....🇸🇪

Hi,
Yes, Ohm sends out the speaker cans already assembled. I installed them as per the directions with the orientation already marked on the base plates. It wasn't possible to see inside the cans so I couldn't check the position of the tweeter as it corresponded to the sticker on the base plate.
I wasn't happy with the sound and complained to Ohm, but they gave me the usual run around about fixing the room and a longer break-in.
I guess it wasn't just me who thought there was something wrong (thanks Peter).
Maybe we can have a listening session this weekend so I can enjoy the speakers at last. Now I have to start looking for some system upgrades before the 2.2000s replace my 4XOs.
