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 assume that the "cage" is there to physically protect the driver unit. I swapped out the standard drivers today with the modified ones sent to me by John at Ohm and it was, maybe, a five-minute-per-speaker process: remove four bolts, lift off the driver unit, unsnap a plastic connector, and attach the new driver. It's all self-contained.

"Is there a reason why there is a cover over the drivers?"

1) protection
2) aesthetics (what's inside sounds great but ain't pretty)

Mapman,

Yes, I've seen photos of the innards of Walsh/CLS drivers on some eBay photos, and they're not pretty!

Tvad,
I'm still figuring it out... the modified set of drivers sounds more detailed and "alive" than the original set... at least in an initial listening, but I want to fiddle with placement a bit and give them some time to break in before making that judgment.
As for being a permanent owner of 2 pairs, it's not financially an option... one of them will have to get voted off the island, so to speak. ;-)
