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

Just letting everybody know that I haven't disappeared. I went back to the Ohm's from the Arro's last week, and I've been tweaking their positioning for best sound. I'll post another progress report soon.

By the way, can any of you suggest some good sounding orchestral CD's to throw at the Ohm's? Some stuff that's easy to get your hands on?

Thanks!

How about Holst's "The Planets" performed by Dutoit and Montreal Symphony on Penguin Classics?

Mapman,

Just ordered it. Thanks! :-)

Wowie Kazowie....

I had an amazing experience with the Ohm's this morning. Had a few minutes to listen to some music and threw Steely Dan's "Gaucho" (a favorite) into the CD player. I remember when this album first came out on vinyl in 1980 and I've listened to it countless times since then.

Trite as this sounds, it was a revelation on the Ohm's... I heard detail and "air" and smoothness that I've never experienced before. Vocals floated in the air and Donald Fagen sounded amazing. It's hard to describe but it was just thrilling.

Rebbe,

Its funny that I listened to a good mastering of "Gaucho" on CD on a pair of Quad electrostats at a local dealer when I was auditioning speakers prior to getting the newer Ohms and it was one of those 10/10 golden listening experiences where I said "this sounds perfect...it can't get any better than this".

Unfortunately, I only have an old home made cassette recording of Gaucho at home, so I have not been able to try to reproduce the same results there.

The $11,000 Quads were my reference listening experience though at the time when I decided to go with the newer Ohms for a chance to match the experience at less than half the cost.
