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

it'll be very interesting to audition a set of Ohm speaker for the first time.
From what I have been told by John S, I would not be disappointed by selecting the cylinder shape if I can live with the aesthetics. Growing up, my dad had a pair of Bose 901 series 2s and I really liked the sound presentation from those speakers. just like Ohm speakers, the placement and distance from the wall and room orientation was very important. Despite of not being very detailed in the highs, I found the base and the mids to be more than adequate and they could handle as much power as you could throw at them. Immediately after learning about the Ohm speakers it reminded me of my dad and how he spent hours fiddling with the placement of the speakers and somehow I knew, I got to give these speakers a shot. it reminded me of my childhood memories and put a fat smile in my face.    

Good point that cabinet volume is a main factor in producing deep bass.   Smaller speakers  ("short" version of OHMs are much smaller cabs and more limited in bass extension) will always need help to deliver the lowest octaves.   Size matters when it comes to delivering extended bass.    Speakers must do EXPONENTIALLY more work as the frequency gets lower.   The laws of physics always apply.

The point of my using the Ohm 2.2000 SATs is why have a driver pushed to a frequency that causes distortion . The speakers sit on top of the subs and are now in acoustic suspension cabinets . I installed signal line caps in my amps to hi pass above 50 HZ . I find the Walsh driver sounds more refined this way . The second pair of subs evens out the bass response in the room . In this case more subs is less boom that is . Distributed bass  is the way to go

As regular poster and lurkers here know, I run my 2000s each their own Vandersteen 2Wq sub, with the Vandy crossovers (MHP-5) that cross over, first order, starting at 80Hz, with the same slope inverted going to the power amp.  Would I say that my 2000s sound refined?  Heck yes!  I just installed a new IC between my DAC and preamp last night, and the differences were immediately apparent.  Ohm Walshes can be extremely revealing, yet always enjoyable to listen to.  That's a hat trick very few speaker designers can pull off - John Strohbeen does so, and at a bargain price point.  Bravo!
