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.

Mapman....

You've been drinking the Orange Fanta again lol

Believe me there was nothing cute or special under there.
But it was the reason for me to start the Beasts so I'm happy about that, and I'm past the pissed off space I was in a few years ago.
The tweeter allowed the frequency extension beyond what the paper
tweeter could possibly touch especially at high output levels.

Its like being in Vietnam buying a "can" of something, you take it home and you don't know if you got goat balls or papaya pigs feat jello......it's an adventure😎🇸🇪



Maybe it’s your room? My 2000s do fine with 150 watts per
If the 4XOs sound good, why would the room cause the 2.2000s to sound bad? When I took the 2.2000 speakers to Peter's house, he couldn't believe how much power they needed to sound good. They were working his 500W/channel amps hard! The 4XOs seem just fine with my current amp (Parasound 1500) so my plan is to keep the 4XOs and sell the 2.2000s. I will eventually be posting them on the Audiogon 'for sale' site.
Hey t8kc...

Must be the hemp string you're using😆

2+2000 = 500 watts....🇸🇪
t8kc - I agree with you... I was kinda grasping at straws for an explanation.  Maybe it's because my room, while large, is oddly shaped, with a ~10 ft. niche where the speakers are.  Maybe that helps their efficiancy?  So, I guess it would be my room, not yours, that could account for the different results with similarly rated amps.  I don't know, just guessing.  And I see from the photos that there is no reason not to place anything above the cans.  And, yes, mapman is correct about the tweeter facing forward, and non-directional frequencies, so again, I stand corrected.  Although, placing any significant weight directly on top of the grill caps is probably not a good idea, and it is not really flat, anyway.
Aren’t 4XO’s larger than 2.2000 as well?  That + higher efficiency would definitely make them different and probably more adept at bass in a larger room with more amps.
