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

@mlsstl - Provided you and the folks at Ohm agree that the 1000 is the right Walsh speaker for your space, I expect you’ll be pleased. Just a few points: The standard current Walsh line are not full omnis like the old F’s were. They attenuate output somewhat in the rear to facilitate placement near the front wall. They can be ordered without this attenuation if desired (and I often wonder what my 2000s would sound like without this attenuation). Second, you must allow plenty of break-in time. The speakers will go through many tonal shifts as they break in, and full break in can take months.  Thirdly, the current Walsh line use a conventional dome tweeter, unlike the F's, which were full-range, true omnis.  This means adjusting the toe-in, which works backwards from conventional dynamic speakers, is important.  Toeing in these Ohms will attenuate the treble output at the listening seat, and toeing them out will accentuate it.  Lastly, I think the 1000s will have much of, if not all of, the magic of your F’s. They certainly have a wide sweet spot. Please keep us posted.

Thanks @bondmanp. I'm probably still 3 weeks or so away from getting them, but plan on giving them every opportunity to become a permanent addition to my system.

As noted before, I had a trial run with the 200s back in 2003 or so and they fell just a bit short of what I was after. Trust that a bit more tweaking has been done since then.

I certainly plan on giving a full report when I've had a chance to live with them for awhile.

One option is to find a set of Allison CD-7 cabinets. The 2XO cans should just fit the top-mount opening for the 8" woofer, though the rim may require some bracing to handle the weight of the cans. (It's old pressboard, not MDF.) The internal volume is just a bit lower than that of the 2XO cabinet, though it's a sealed cabinet.

My understanding is there's no crossover external to the can, so it's just a pair of wires from terminals to the can. The Allison is hollow and unbraced, typical of the era, so adding some internal bracing probably wouldn't hurt. 

Besides the later RDL based on the CD-7 design, I'm unaware of another similar size cabinet with a top-mounted woofer opening.

OK, the Ohm 1000s arrived Wednesday and so far I've got about 4 hours of listening from them. The 3-D image is wonderful out of the box, but still have some experimenting to do with respect to positioning. Plus, they need some break-in time. Way premature to give much in the way of a review, but we are off to a good start!
 More to follow.

I understand the Ohm speakers are quasi-omnidirectional and was curious if anyone has tried some form of DSP room correction with them? I have an amp that does room correction. Congrats on your 1000's mlsstl I'll keep scanning the thread to see how you like them.
