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.

Finally getting back to this fray....*G*

Peter53, what drove me to 'roll my own' omnis is the fact that Ohm's speakers, nice as they are and as well as they work, are Not true Walsh speakers.  A quick glance at the innards of them vs. an original A or F makes that obvious.  Inverting a woofer and parking a dome tweeter above it is not a duplication; it's a 'fudge'.

I can understand the Why they are.  But given the physics involved as to How the originals worked and the way they were constructed to take advantage of what was going on 'under the hood'....no surprise as to their 'opt out', if you will.

I've taken a somewhat different approach with my efforts, closer to the German Physiks versions but going to a vertically stacked 2 way and tapping on the Infinity 'ice cream cone' variant for the tweeter.  My 'woofer' cones are a tad larger than the GP's, and running a sub for the lower bass.

I'm pretty happy with them...but there's still lots of room for improvement, which is what occupies me of late.  And they're still less expensive, as long as I ignore the 'man hours' involved...*L*

Any pursuit off the beaten track has its' price...*S*
Asvjerry thank you, I understand that being a fanboy is cool, and guess what, I was for 
35 years with Nikon and couldn't stand Canon or the people that bought one. Now that's 
ridiculous right! But I was blinded by my fan boy ship (now I laugh about it).

Jerry is very, very right, there's no Walsh technology in the modern Walsh speaker
none. It's Omni directional but some of it is wrong.....Yes it's weird that they're not using a
rear tweeter as most of the frequencies are cut of above 2.3khz. It blew me away when
I added the rear tweeter. 

On another note, it was a great race day. Ferrari won at Monaco....Finally after 
a dry spell Italy is happy today. The Indy 500.. Wow boring it ain't ever, and after realizing that my boy Alonso made it clear that winning the race was a possibility the friggin Honda 
engine gave up in a cloud of smoke.....a total bummer, but I hope Alonso quits F1 and come over here for Indy racing....🇸🇪

"Fudged"?

"Wrong"?

OK whatever you guys say.   You better get it right then and show 'em how its done.  
Fugdged??? That you're a fanboy....Mapman just own it, doesn't make you a bad guy
just a fanboy.

Wrong like "it's not a Walsh driver" 
I would listen to an expert in Walsh drivers IE. asvjerry

Thats all I'm trying to do "Mapman" improve upon the original copy of the Walsh driver.

Did that kind of answer your kind "questions"

Remember it's suppose to be fun.........🇸🇪

PS. Mapman you'll have a standing invitation to hear my speakers
when they're done. I also wanted to figure out what to call them. So I decided
to call the "Oh-my"
