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.

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

i just wanted to tell tell you what to expect as far as what amount of space you would have for a super tweeter..........NONE
Sorry didn't want to be a downer regarding the available space under either the can or under the soft cover/grill.

To see what is under the can to a small degree, take an LED flash
light hold it tight to the can. You will be able to see the tweeter, at what direction it's pointing and also how much space to expect without cutting in to the can.

Hope that helped, something that would be even better is a rear facing tweeter on a simple X-over (2500-3000hz) and an Lpad which is an volume control. Believe me it makes a much bigger difference then a super tweeter by a margin.
Im actually blown away that no one here has done it as it's a super cheap upgrade that makes an incredible difference. If someone want to try it I have a pair that will not be used on my beasts. These are 
inexpensive soft domes, x-over, and a volume control. No hard sell
and I don't know how much, but I will figure it out if someone would be interested.

Good tweeter day.........🇸🇪
