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

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.

The 4xo are the newer version of the 4s with foam surrounds that makes them more efficient . The 2000s have aluminum drivers and rubber surrounds . I run my 2000s with a pair of VTL100 tube mono amps I have no problem driving them with 80 watts the big power supplies help . As for super tweeters I use a pair on top of the grills and like the effect . Improved transient response
