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.

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

I bought a pair of customsupertweeters on ebay three years ago I was using them on my Walsh 2s at some point I blew one of them out . I upgraded my 2s to 2000 and was not using them . I found a replacement driver and repaired the blown one . I just reintroduced them into my system . they have a crossover and gain selector switches  12hz 16hz & 20hzs   - they are 93db with a -3 & -6 DB setting . I have them set @  20hz & -6 and reversed the phase this sounds the best to me . I would like to try some Townshend supper tweeters they are small and think the will fit under the hats .

If you are in NYC and want to here my system PM me
