Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Here's something interesting. Looks like Ohm is starting to sell some refurbs on eBay. Here's what looks like their first listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/Pair-of-Ohm-Super-Walsh-2-S3_W0QQitemZ260390714863QQcmdZViewItemQQptZSpeakers_Subwoofers?hash=item3ca07efdef&_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116 |
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! |
HI all. I obstained from writing any more on this thread until I hooked up my main amp- a Parasound HCA 2205. Well I did, so I'm back. First of all, my hat's off to the Harmon Kardon AVR-20, which helped to break them in and give me a sense of the overall sound and placement. However, with more power, and importantly more current, my MWT's blow me away. At lower volume, the sound is rich and full. At higher volume, above 80 Dbs, I felt that the highs were a bit forward with the HK, but everything sounds nice, even and balanced with beter amplification. To be fair though, I'm also using the burr/brown DAC's in the AVC-1800 instead of my cheap and old Sony DVD player. At any rate, I'm done with this phase of my upgrade. Next up is replacing my DVD player. And then I really am done for a while... The MWT's continue to exceed expectation. It seems I rarely feel that way about anything these days. The Ohm's decimate my Deftech BP-2006's, and I feel that it's the best possible upgrade I could have made, especially for the price. -P |
