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.

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...
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).
Oh, and the prices for the upgraded classic OHM C2s and Hs appear to be only $100 more than those models sold for new back in the 70s. That would seem to indicate a good value. I preferred the OHMs over all other lines we carried back then including Advent, Infinity, EPI/Epicure, JBL, and Electrovoice.

Hs would probably knock your socks off these days with a good modern amp. Those babies rocked!
