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

These recordings by Yes are very good for separating the contenders from the pretenders in the world of audio playback of rock music.

On a different track genre-wide, try some remastered recordings of largely forgotten old Kingston Trio tunes on the Walsh's and then let's talk.

The one I can recommend if you can find it is "Absolutely The Best Of The Kingston Trio".

"Reverend Mr. Black" (LOVE that tune!), "Scotch and Soda", "Reuben James" and the others are a sterling treat from a different age of music and recordings with stunning sound quality, vocals, and harmonies that are hard to match.

I may have a bias in that some of the first records I ever listened to repeatedly as a young kid were by these guys and they definitely had a major impact on me musically at a young age.

right now I'm listening to Deep Purple 'Made in Japan' I am definitely drawn to live music with the Ohm's.

I had an issue with imaging last night while watching TV. Dialogue was coming from both speakers rather than placed in the center.

Took measurements a while ago, placed them in an equilateral triangle from our listening position (about 6') and wala!- dialogue in the center.

Best bass is still about 6" off the wall, but then soundstage collapses a bit because they are behind the TV and stand. Hence, a sub could be in the future, but still not a necessity.

More later.

Finally got some listening time in this morning!

The vinyl of Bonnie Raitt's "Nick Of Time" sounds glorious on the Ohm 100's! The title track, as well as "Cry On My Shoulder," are really a treat.

Parasound,

How are those MWT's working for you? We need a report! :-)

Sorry all. Someone stole my phone number (I'm serious), and I have no internet at home until we get it resolved.

All I had time to do this long weekend is watch a movie. they're not kidding on the Ohm site when they state that a sub is needed for movies. Even my wife commented on it (she's getting spoiled, and notices when something doesn't sound right)

Musically, they exceed all expectations. Surprisingly, in the bass. If bass is within their range, it is satisfying and substantive. Below their cutoff frequency, and bass is non-existent.
