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.

Rebbi....why don't you send for a pair and host the superbowl of radial speaker shootouts?

Because — taking your question seriously ;-) — I'm not made of money, as they say. Plus, I'm afraid that the 100's are about the largest speakers that my significant other will tolerate in our little guest room!

I mean, John's willingness to keep shipping stuff to a customer and say, “take your time and ship back what you don't want...” Where else are you going to get that kind of service? At least I know that if in the end I prefer the Micro's I can ship the 100's back and get the $700 difference returned from Ohm (and I'm only out the shipping).

But if any other brave soul with some money to burn wants to order the speaks you've mentioned, I'd love to learn more about them, too. :-)
Hmmm... Just looked at their website. Those Decware speakers are reasonably priced, but the audition period is only 30 days, and custom finishes are non-returnable.
Interesting that this is the first I have heard of the Decware radials. They haven't come up on other threads that I've read here that I recall.

Not much inforamtion out there on the Decware radial speaks. Their site indicates the older discontinued radial models have been out for at least a few years and there is a newer model as well.

Interesting design though and not outrageuosly priced either, assuming they sound good.

They don't call it a "Walsh" driver or design, but it does appear to be somewhat similar to OHMs from a glance.
Looking forward to getting the 100's. I'm thinking I should have them in a little over a week. I'll report back after that.
I fell asleep last night with the music server serving up tunes randomly while listening on my 100s.

I kept waking up realizing how good things have been sounding of late on the Ohms as the Audio Research sp16 tube pre-amp seems to break in further, as the documentation indicated it does.

The combo of OHMs, and ARC tube pre-amp and MF SS power amp is truly out of this world. I cannot find a flaw at present.

I suspect your Unico hybrid integrated will similarly rise to new levels of performance as well with the 100s.
