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.

Winegasman,
Good to hear! And you are happy with how the tube amp drives the speaks? There had been talk here earlier that the Ohms preferred SS gear.

Actually, I don't think speakers can prefer anything; only we can. I have no idea how they sound with SS because I don't have an SS amp. I have a 35wpc tube integrated that I like a lot, so that's what I'm using. My ears are probably too dense to appreciate sound the way an audiophile's ears can appreciate sound, but, yea, the Ohms sound wonderful with my amp, in my room, at this time. As I said, the system fills the room with palpable sound -- including engaging bass -- and does it with the volume gain at no more than 1 o'clock -- after that, my ears start to bleed. But that may just be me.
rebbi...sorry for the delayed reponse, but there are speakers that 'confess' their preference of fequency, by recordings such as the moody blues record i refered to. you'll find the ohms' balance makes 'days of future past' a really good listen....it's corny and spectacular.
I'm new to this forum and just wanted to say I've really enjoyed reading these posts. I've owned the MWTs for 5 years now and still love them. Rebbi, I pulled the trigger after reading the 6Moons review as well. Never been disappointed.

Cheers.
Jmelvin,
Yes the 6moons review, as well as Mapman and others' enthusiasm here, got me to take the plunge and eventually sell my Totem Arros.
By the way, I read on another website - maybe it was Positive Feedback? - recently that John Potis, the author of that review, had passed away in December. Sad! He seemed like a good guy. He even answered a couple of emails I sent him!
