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

ZOWIE!!

I finally got to play some vinyl with the Ohm's, the refurbed SOTA Sapphire and my newly built Bottlehead Seduction phono stage. I threw Dire Straights' "Brothers In Arms" on the TT and was mesmerized.

The guitars on "So Far Away" absolutely filled my listening room. "Walk Of Life" had amazing stage depth.... the hi-hat on the opening bars sounded several feet in back of of the rear wall of the room. Cool! More to come...

Rebbi,

A device with a name like "Bottlehead Seduction" has to sound great!

Seriously, glad your experiencing some magic moments!

We had a bunch of people over yesterday and I had to push the big Ohm 5's only 6 inches or so from the rear wall and have been listening to them there.

I'm really liking what I'm hearing even so close to the rear wall. There seems to be a swag of extra authority and meat to the bones with the rear wall re-enforcing the rendering. Imaging accuracy and depth of sound stage is still quite good as well.

I was playing an old vinyl recording of Bach music performed by E. Power Biggs on pipe organ on Columbia Masterworks label earlier and it was quite an involving experience. I'm not sure one could pull this configuration off as well from what I've read with other more true omnis.

mapman, I don't have any other phono stage to compare the Seduction to, but it sounds awfully good to me right now!

" it sounds awfully good to me right now"

That's all that matters.

A lot of sonic magic in particular with acoustic music happens with phono in my setup as well.

I have a new Audio Research sp 16 tube pre-amp with phono stage coming in a week or so. That should shake things up for teh better for me I'm hoping as well.

Any updates?
