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

Nolo,

MWTs would make excellent surrounds I think.

For surround sound, be sure to go over the options with JS. Though we don't talk about them much here, there are large/small/short/tall/wall mount Walsh models designed specifically for home theater use I believe.

I believe OHM can also do various tweaks to the basic design for home theater use if desired.

With reverence to the previous owner, I went ahead and purchased the late John Potis' pair of Ohm Walsh 4.5.2 in a trade/purchase arrangement. I will try the 4.5.2's as L/R in my HT set up with the KEF center and surrounds to get a base line opinion. Later on, I will move the MWT's into the surround position and drag my KEF R107's into my 2-channel rig and see what happens with full range in my living room. Lots of possibilities here with a lot of lugging of large full range speakers up and down stairs but, after all, why are we here if not to experiment with all the options that we are presented with. I hope to comment on the various stages of my search for sonic satisfaction and share my expeeriences with all of the other Ohm afficianados my impressions. It's the journey not necessarily the destination! Thanks for your help. Best...

Mapman, sent you an email regarding the Ohms.

Here's something interesting. Looks like Ohm is starting to sell some refurbs on eBay. Here's what looks like their first listing:

Nice.

I see they have a link to an ebay store there also with some refurbed box designs like Hs and C2s, which I would love to hear. I almost went down the refurbed H path before I tried the Walsh2 S3s. H's were my favorites back when I used to sell OHMs in the late 70s. in the days of the OHM Fs and prior to the Walsh line (the store I worked i did not carry the Fs so I never got to hear them).
