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

The effort went into making it affordable, sound great and being reliable. I don’t think JS cares nearly as much about the looks. Certainly not as much as many competitors.

You can always go into business and see how it pans out. OHM has been doing their thing their way for over 40 years now and still kicking so they got a bit of a head start.

One thing I've come to realize of late even more so than ever is the right know how, usually obtained through years of experience, can easily trump relying mainly on fancy parts and bling.   That's the magic of OHM and other companies of the same ilk, both large and small. 

Mapman....

Do you know why I started to build the speakers?
After opening the can of the small mini's, and having the shock of my life!
The workmanship being so poor that not even a first time speaker builder
would have the balls to "glue" together such abysmal product. Yes it's built in a 
"can" but that shouldn't give them the license to sell crap. If you don't believe me I'll be more that happy to show everyone the mess I payed big dollars for.

And if one product shows such disregard to decent workmanship, the chance 
all of them have the same problem.
I understand you're a fanboy and that's OK, and I don't have issues with that
per say, but when you know there's a problem ( Ohm replaced/fixed two cans
for me and it doesn't surprise me one bit looking inside the "Can").
Call John tell him that there's a problem and customers might be catching on to the
issues and he could very easily up the quality to make the product worth the asking price.

And finally if you done something for 40years, there likely two options how things go.

One: you're so tired of all the crap, your on autopilot and stay on because you're making 
money.

Two: you love what you do and strive to do things better every day. No one can question
the quality and ethics of your brand, and can't wait to get back to the office in the morning.

p..........🇸🇪

I forgot one thing his speaker are not affordable at all, and there's a lot of amazing sounding
sub $500 speakers in the market place.....That's affordable and build way nicer than the Ohm's
Mapman before you have a stroke, I didn't ever  say they're not sounding great they actually do. But they could be better.....

You should buy the $500 speakers then.

Hehe...
Give me a break, I can afford a $5k speaker thank you.
And if you can't understand what I'm saying I feel for you.

The idea here is not to put anyone here at blame as I only know
one person as far as I know at this forum. 

But If you, or I are putting our hard earned cash on to any particular
product ( not necessarily Ohm) we expect a certain amount of quality and workmanship commensurate with the amount you pay.

That didn't happen for me, the trust and excitement went away as soon as I opened the "Can".

This project is for me, I'm not in the business to sell or build speaker and won't. But I think I can take the concept further, improve were I think it's necessary and with that making me happy and hopefully write some fun stories and some insight in to my crazy mind and ideas.

The weekend is here and I'm excited as both F1 in Monaco
and Indy 500 with one of my favorite drivers (Alonso) driving.
So it will be breakfast and brunch time racing for me......🇸🇪
