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

Everybody,

Thanks so much for the good wishes. Dad is being released from the hospital to go home today. He had triple bypass. Thank God, it looks like we will get to celebrate his 87th birthday in just 8 days. He's doing very well.

Feel free to return this thread to your regularly scheduled programming. I hope to be back posting here soon.

REbbe,

Glad to hear about Dad.

Does he like music? Let him listen to some stuff he likes your system if possible during recovery!

Mapman,

Yeah, he loves music. I never thought of that for some reason. I've got Fiedler on Chesky vinyl conducting Rhapsody In Blue and American In Paris that should sound wonderful on the Ohms. And he likes light opera, too.

Oh, and while we're on that subject, anybody know of a good sounding recording of Gilbert and Sullivan's ”The Mikado?” That's a favorite of his.

Thanks for the idea, Mapman!

Haven't heard Mikado in years, but my first instinct would be to go with the classic D'Oyly Carte performances that were issued on stereo London records box sets back in the 50s or early 60's, I believe. Those are the ones I grew up with. Remastered to CD, if available, would be nice as well I would think.

I have read a lot about the OHM Walsh speakers. All of you seem to like these speakers. I am running a 100 watt triode mono amps with tube preamp. Maybe you have heard of the Legend system or Von Gaylord. I would like to know if anyone out there has the OHM 200s or 300s in the San Francisco bay area that I could listen to. I love the sound of the MBLs but out of reach. Let me know thanks, Steve
