End of an era here, sort of. Boxed up and shipped the Micro Walsh Tall's back to Ohm today. It's me and the 100's from now on!

Congrats! Keep us updated though..

Questions for Mapman, Rebbe, and other Ohm owners:

In your opinion, how do the MWT and 100s do on image depth both behind and in front of the speakers?

Is it difficult to get the speakers to sonically disappear?

If any Ohm owners have personal experience with Vandersteen speakers, especially the model 1C, can you describe the relative similarities and differences between Vandys and Ohms?

Thanks in advance!

"how do the MWT and 100s do on image depth both behind and in front of the speakers?"

Tends to be mostly behind the speakers, though room acoustics and electronics will make a difference. Imaging is very much like full range MBLs that I have heard.

Moving to ARC ap-16 tube pre-amp from Carver SS helped move things a bit more forward in my system.

"Is it difficult to get the speakers to sonically disappear?"

No, certainly not with decent room placement and electronics. They disappear currently about as well as the Triangles Titus 202s in my system, which are champs at disappearing even in lesser systems and significantly better than the Dynaudio Contour 1.3 mkIIs I also run.

Haven't heard Vandys enough to comment much but from the little I have heard there are similarities in the openness of the sound of both.

Good electronics makes all the difference with the newer OHMs. You will hear whatever you put through them. I recommend using decent tubed sources and pre-amp along with a good SS amp for most magical results.
