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.

Thanks. I am enjoying them, although I've had precious little time to listen due to my work schedule.
I'm still trying to get them voiced optimally... Tone, balance, imaging, soundstage... And things will surely shift as they break in.
Ome thing I can say so far is that orchestral recordings sound luscious!
More to come!...

Hey Rebbi,

While sitting here paying bills and listening to the 1983 CD "Fancy Pants" by the Count Basie ORchestra, I was reminded to mention to you to be sure to test out the bigger OHMS with some well recorded Big Band music.

Nothing separates the men from the boys in the world of larger high end speakers like how well they deliver well recorded Big BAnd music at realistic SPLs with some real "meat on the bones"!

The OHMs are champs at their price point with this genre in particular I have found.

Mapman,

Nice suggestion, thanks, I'll try it.

I was a trumpet player in my youth (alas!) and accumulated lots of big band jazz LP's, including “miles” of Maynard Ferguson in his heyday. I bet some of that stuff would sound sweet on the 100's. I also have some Buddy Rich, and an obscure but fun LP of the Woody Herman Band playing songs by Steely Dan (I'm not kidding)!

I'll report back....
