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.

Good golly!....

There's certainly a sense of glee when you sit down with some music you haven't heard in awhile, plunk it on the 'table with your new equipment, and are blown away by what you hear.
So it was today when I came across a copy (unopened... how'd that happen??) of the “Nick Of Time” LP by Bonnie Raitt.
Cry On My Shoulder, a song I like a lot anyway and hadn't heard in years, sounded amazing, just amazing, through the Ohm's. It's not so much a matter of “this sounds just like live music“ (although Bonnie's voice did sound awfully good) but more like, ”ah, so THIS is what the engineer was getting at!“ Electronic keyboards floated delicately out IN FRONT of the speakers, with Bonnie centered and set back between the speakers. I was pretty mesmerized.
Okay, let me know when you start getting sick of these gushy posts, but I'm really loving these speakers. :-D
Rebbi,

You really should get hold of Lindsey Buckingham's cd "Under The Skin" and play the track called "Show You How" (then play the rest of the cd, it's terrific). The Ohms create a sense of space filled by individual voices that will undoubtedly get you "gleeful"!

Disclaimer: This isn't audiophile style reproduction (it's clearly processed sound), but it will make you smile.
Martykl,
Just listened to excerpts of the tracks on Amazon and it sounds pretty trippy. I'll order it. Any other pop or other music you've heard so far that seems to show off the Ohm's well?
Look for titles on the Mapleshade Label.

My understanding is most if not all of these are produced using a simple two channel process that lends itself optimally to enabling near-point source omnidirectional designs like the Ohms or Morrisons in particular to produce a lifelike reproduction of the soundstage.

I have the title "Preachin the Blues" on this label and it works quite well.

I also have Lindsey Buckingham's "Out of the Cradle" CD and that also is quite good.
