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.

Peterr53,
The speakers are looking good.
I will try to visit soon so I can check them out in person.
Thanks bud I'm trying....

Had an opportunity to talk to the importer of the tweeter units, and found out that
they are coming out with an upgraded unit....lol
So the question is, should I go with the "old" style tweeter or should I spend more
and get the new units.....Damn! And oh-well.

More soon.........🇸🇪

So more info dropped in to my inbox.

By now everyone nows that the  "Walsh" driver falls of dramatically 
after about 2.4k which meens we have to x-over the tweeter as close to that frequency give or take  a few hundred hz. The ribbon tweeter I originally was going to use, likes to be crossed over at about 2.2k-2.4k with a fairly aggressive slope. The newer tweeter
is easier to drive (98db) and I can blend it in way lower at 1.6k with no issues and for the back fill I'll use the older version.
More money but I think it'll be worth it in the long run.

This is exciting.....🇸🇪

Omnis are, and will remain, the odd and distinctive animal in the speaker zoo...

They demand care in placement (location, location, location....we're heard that elsewhere, right?).

They will be effected by the space they're in...the size, the materials within it, and the shape and proportions of said space.

To eq or no will be subject to above, the equipment 'upstream' (gee, what a surprise...), what's being played, how it was mixed, and (of course) taste.

The fact that this thread stretches 52 pages is amazing.  Particularly to me...*G*

And the fact that the reviewer in the posted review can only put the Ohms up against the German Physiks?  At that price spread?  Damn....

There's other omnis...are they 'also rans', or has the field narrowed to that degree?

Wow....

Pardon me....I've got work to do....;)
Hi asvjerry...

I do have a semi dedicated listening/home theater room (family room). I do find the sound better and more focused when I can disperse/diffuse the back sound field. I use art, plants,
sculptures, soft surfaces, and wow it does make a big difference. With that said, as some of you know, I did add a rear tweeter in the mix just to see what would happen, I was so taken by the extra depth, focus and overall reinforcement of the sound field (with a volume control)
that my new speakers will have both front and rear matching tweeter.
I am adding EQ with the electronic x-over which I think is the way to go. No space or acoustic environment is perfect, so being able to fine tune the system to the room is 
totally smart...

talk soon.......🇸🇪
