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.

Marty,
I don't think John does shows. I think they're content over at Ohm, quietly going about building speakers. The last I heard of John at a show, was RMAF in '07 at the Blue Circle booth. He was there getting consumer feedback on the Penny, before production...
Zk,

Sort of a shame - I suspect that many more people would have their eyes (ears?) opened by the speakers, given the chance.

Marty - I was thinking the same thing while going from room to room at the HE Show in New York. I went after owning the MWTs for a year or two and had a good barometer with some hours in on the Ohms.

The thing I walked away with was that the spacious sound of the Ohms is achievable with regular old cone 'n dome speakers... It just takes a lot more $... I heard some speakers that I liked (although many of them still sounded 'hi-fi' to me) but they were pretty pricey and the sweet spot was always small. The rooms are not great sounding, but I think the Ohms would be more forgiving than what I heard. I'd like to hear the Blue Circle Penny...
Finally got a virtual system up for public viewing, if anybody's interested...
Rebbi - thanks for the virtual system post! Love the Ohms in black. Is it a satin finish or glossy? Was there an upcharge for this finish? TIA
