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

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!

I very much like the idea of smaller speakers/monitors (on isolation platforms) placed on top of powered subs. Reduces need for amp power and current greatly if mains are high pass filtered. You have to integrate the two yourself but if done right the results should be spectacular.

I have a pair of small Triangle monitors on stands currently in my family room 2 channel A/V system. Sound great but not much bass for that room area. I have been on the verge of pulling the trigger on adding a pair of powered subs (I used to have a single sub in there that went up a few years back).

I would place the monitors on a pair of very short Isoacoustics isolation stands and set the stands on top of the subs.

I haven’t done it yet because my main system with the big OHMs does it all and I do not mind not having all the bass in my other rig. The sound is different without the lowest octaves but what is there is very high quality and provides an alternate view into the music.

Were I placing OHM Walsh speakers on top of the subs I would use Auralex subdude platforms that I use with my smaller Walsh 100s when used on second floor of the house to isolate.

I had JS modify my Walsh 2 cabinets I provided him with sorbothane  feet and binding post of my choice the SATs sit on top of a pair of REL Q201e subs that sit on Isoacoustics sub stands this combo puts the tweeters at ear height . I upgraded one of the two pair of my Walsh 2s based on Bondmaps well written review and very happy I did . Subs add to the ambiance of the recording and the emotional response to the music I can not go back to not having them in a system
