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.

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......🇸🇪

@peterr53 .. seems to me your project, which you have freely shared here in this long-running thread, has become nothing but a disparaging critique of JS and Ohm. While it’s all been fascinating to some degree, I think a separate thread of your own would be more appropriate. BTW, my MicroWalsh Talls are 11 years old now and still making beautiful music.
Hi Peter I for one are interested in your quest to perfect the Ohm speaker . I have a set of 2-2000s and feel they could use some refinement in the upper frequency range . I added some super tweeters to my set up and find the results to be positive . I feel that a tweeter upgrade would improve there performance . The other thing would be running them without the cans . I would like to buy a set of raw drivers that are in the 2000s to start fresh and add some high quality tweeters and crossover components .The Ohm design has some great qualities the main one is coherence and no box coloration   
Its a safe bet anything can always be made better either objectively or subjectively. Definitively is a little tougher.

OHM does many things to help provide value in good sound for their customers. No need to recap all that here.

Having been around and pretty much seen and heard it all, value and utility are the parameters I value in this stuff alongside of good sound of course.

Having said that, my home-tweaked OHM Ls are getting more play time these days than any of my other similar "high end" monitors. I did refurbish them myself a few years back. THe 8" Morel woofers I picked up used alone cost almost as much as the speakers did when I acquired them in 1978.  Cheap paper tweeters and crossover are still original.
