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.

Of course I'm biased, but the Blue Circle gear is exceptional, and a great value given how it's made and how it performs. There's a brand new 150 watt integrated coming out, my guess is it would drive any Ohm speaker beautifully.
I'm actually an omni novice. It's the only kind of loudspeaker I've never owned, i.e. I've had electrostatics, planar magnetics, ribbons, horns, waveguides, conventional dynamic systems, etc. Very much looking forward to experiencing the omni approach. This thread has been very helpful on tips/experience in integrating these types of speakers into the room. If this thread is still alive, I'll report back after hearing the Pennys.
HEy, check out the pics I found on the Blue Circle site.

IS that a Micro Walsh can I see perched on top of the new $4000+ Penny's?
Golly, it's awfully close. The mounting flange is different, and it appears bolted on with a greater number of screws (the MW can secures with 4 bolts) but still... the mesh cover and form factor look quite close. Hmmmm.....
I emailed John after the '07 RMAF, this was his response about Blue Circle:

Hi Neil,

Yes, we are going to be making them for Gilbert. I was at the show getting consumer feedback before gearing up for production. Several people said we had the most natural, accurate sound at the show and everyone was amazed at the imaging.

Good Listening!

John
