Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?

Actually, from my conversations with John I've gotten the impression that he has been checking this thread, at least from time to time.

Those Micro Walsh SE's look sweeeeeet! Wow — those are some handsome speakers! Like Parasound, I wonder if they are just an upgraded cabinet, or if the innards have also been revised?

Mapman,

I just realized that the first Emerson Lake and Palmer album (the self-titled one with the flying dove on the cover) has some real pipe organ on it. I'll have a listen! And thanks for the cranking it up tip as far as break-in is concerned.

Rebbe, yes that ELP recording is a good one, one of the best I think in that genre.

I noticed John S. had only one other posting and it was today also, so I'm guessing he's a new active poster here.

Where has John posted here?

Re MicroWalsh SE:
Hi John,
"Soon to be available...." Please define "soon." Please tell us more...

Hi, Gang,

I wrote to John and asked:

What's the deal with the new Micro Walsh SE? New cabinet only, or
changes to the driver, too? (The cat's out of the bag.)

Here's what he said (reposted with his permission):

Hi Steve,

A bit of both. They have a driver more like your Special version except a little recess in the sibilance range (~8kHz) plus a more aggressive SBA to give slightly deeper bass by dropping the minimum impedance to ~4ohms.

The cabinet is the big change with the rounded corners on cabinet & grill and all veneers available at the same higher $1400/pr price.

Good Listening!

John

So there you have it. He also said that the Ohm website would soon be updated with all this information. By the way, the “Special” drivers that John sent me have the tweeter from the 100's in them, with (as I understand it) higher output than the standard Micro Walsh tweeter.
