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

I less well fit the mold of a traditional audiophile these days. Class D amps, digital streaming, and high quality low cost DACs, even headphones (if those are enough to float ones boat alone) available these days makes better sound available more ways than ever and for more people and for less. Its just not that hard to get really good sound anymore due to advancements in technology. Heck if I had to I might even be able to get by with the portable HK Onyx blue tooth speaker I use when convenient fed via Bluetooth from computer tablet or phone of choice. Not the nth degree in hifi by any stretch but darn good, convenient and better than most things most people had at their disposal up until recent years. Also easy to move around in rooms for best acoustics. :^) For those with more esoteric tastes in what constitutes good sound, the sky is still the limit.

The audio shows have been invaluable to me though as a tool to help me refine my own personal reference standard for good sound over the years as my ears do their thing there and learn.

I'll vote with that, maps...*S*

Class D is still in it's infancy, and digital audio in general has more or less become the mainstream of the times.  It will only improve, becoming smaller, lighter, more powerful, and able to leap over tall sampling rates without even a bound....
Esoteria will continue to exist, as the 'cutting edge' of now becomes the 'vintage' of tomorrow.  But that's the way of all things; if it's not growing, it's dying...
Audio shows will start to look like the computer shows of today.  My only hope is that the exhibitors can have spaces that are acoustically isolated from each other and the halls that serve them.
Shows still sound like walking through a massive cage of excited canaries, each singing different tunes....physically and mentally tiring in a way that's not typical, no....

 I walked through the hallway I took a right, they invited me in
handed me a 12" ipad like a sommelier in a fine restaurant.
Sat down and casually asked me to chose something....wow thats
 unusual som I  picked a Supertramp song.....how cool is that.
I guess he had the full Tidal archive streaming with pictures.

I have an IPad and it would be simple to hook up and pay $20 a month or what ever it is.
I wanted to add a few other good sounding speakers:
Bryston speakers very nice with their electronics.
Some German horn speaker Lovely sounding And look the part.
Gaia or something looked amazing like something from the 5th element (the movie) sounded like perfection.
Nola a smaller about 4" tall version  very nice.

Thats it for now.....🇸🇪

Hi Guys,
I am still waiting for my Ohm super sound cylinder (10" driver) to arrive but since a few people here have mentioned that these speakers need loads of power, I have started looking at power amps as potential add.
I am using an Arcam SR-250 stereo receiver rated at 90W per channel into 8 ohms.
I was thinking about using the Arcam as my preamp and add one of the new Hypex Ncore based class D amplifiers as the main driver. 
Seems like the Ncore modules by Hypex have been very well taken by the audio community and companies like NAD and ATI amplifier technology and Nord acoustics have released products based on these Ncore modules. Has anyone here have any experience with this relatively new class D design? would it pair OK with the Ohm speakers? I guess a phone call to John S would also be helpful.
The company that I am mostly interested in is the Nord acoustics. They seem to be very open about all the components that they are using in the amplifier and they can put together a true mono block design (separate power supply and amplifier channel) with Op Amp of your choice (front buffer) into a stereo box for relatively "affordable" price tag.
Any feedback or first hand experience with these products?
Thanks,
 

No experience with those particular amps but your plan is a sound one.

I'd start with the 90 w/ch arcam and see how that sounds first then if still desired 250w/ch or more of good quality Class D meaning robust power supply and high current delivery good down to 4 ohm would be a step up in most cases.  Benefits may be lesser in a  smaller room and/or lower volumes only.

Arcam is good stuff but most receivers and many integrated amps cannot match separates of the same power rating in regards to power suppl;y and current delivery with low distortion into lower impedances which matters to get the most out of the OHMs.
