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

Just wanted to say....WOW
The F1  race in Canada was A-mazing  and I'm pumped. And I didn't 
know that Champagne taste great in a sweaty shoe, Patric Stewart does (If you watch F1 you will know what I'm talking about). 

I will try to work on the speakers this week, as few of you know I do have some health issues that makes it hard to work sometimes due to pain, but I will do my best to get started again tomorrow.

So I do have to make some decisions on the tweeter unit as The whole upper assembly is dependent on the type of tweeter I want to use. I have given the ESS unit a thought as it does sound pretty awesome and it's amazingly easy to X-over the the unit to the Walsh driver.
 The issue I'm having is size and weight, the thing ways anywhere from 10-16lbs and the overall size at 6" tall on the big bad boy is something I have to consider. If anyone has an input feel free to tell me what you think......I'm open to suggestions.

Other than that I love the way the cabinet looks even though I went through some tough times getting it right. I've done some test fitting of the finish and I will be killer and I believe no one else has done it
so that's very exciting.

Have a great rest of the weekend.......🇸🇪

Hi Peter i like the idea of the ESS . I would fabricate a tweeter stand like a tripod attached to a ring that goes around the l/f driver flange so that you can rotate the tweeter . the top of the tripod base should have enough room to time align the tweeter .    

peter, after wrestling an F1 around a track for a few hours with your 'stay alive' competing with 'go fast', I would chug some bubbly from a used condom. *L*  But it'd better be mine...;)

enginedr, pete..."Kiss Principal" protocol.  If the ESS is centered over the lf driver, time alignment is Done,  Rotation not necessary unless you absolutely have to have the base cabinet at a right angle to the wall.  Since we're all familiar with 'toe in/out' of conventional speakers, that becomes the aesthetics of how you want the cabinets to look in the room...

Yeah, the ESS driver is a heavy little punk.  Mine mount with 2 1/4" bolts vertically through the case.  Those can go into either a T-nut or a threaded insert into a base plate of nice ply or even a plate of metal if one taps the holes in it..

BTW, been there, done that...I do this sort of thing daily, making 'things' go together...and making it look Nice....

Put a piece of rubber or Sorbothane between the driver and said plate.  Although I've really not noticed any spurious vibration from the driver, even at 'full song', granted it could be an issue...

Mounting plate could be suspended above the base cabinet and the woofer with 4 threaded rods and some sleeves of metal tubing to set the height as desired.

A variation of the above could allow the ESS to be rotated and cinched down fairly easily.  Since you're mating a dipole with an omni, and if you'd rather not rotate the base cabinet, it's doable without too much more fuss.

*L*  I've gotten so used to doing the improbable with so little that mounting an ESS over an Ohm is Easy.

Of course, 'resale value' heads out the window, but...if you're 'doing a clone', that point goes moot...or *poof*. *L*

I could send a sketch of what I'm jabbering about, but I need to know that address...I do that sort of thing, too...;)  And would be quite happy about doing so....*G*

Oh, yeah....keep screwdrivers and such in control around the Heils.  That magnet structure will suck it out of your hand.  Right into the element if you're really unlucky and the tool is Just So...

I haven't had that happen, but it could really ruin your day....
