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.

Thanks, Aurelius, it is a big help. Simply put, the 4.3, which I think is the same cabinet as the 4.5, is too large for the tight space I must use for speaker placement. In the meantime, John Strohbeen has reviewed a diagram of my floorplan, and told me that the new Walsh 2000 (which is only a 9" x 9" footprint) should work fine in my situation. Ordering will probably be next month, so I will post my experiences going forward as they happen.
FYI for Ohm lovers, the final version of the Blue Circle Audio Penny speakers is complete. This is the only speaker, to my knowledge, that marries Ohm drivers with conventional bass drivers for improved bass response. The Pennys will be at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in Denver in October in the Blue Circle Audio room. I will have a pair after the show. I retail Blue Circle Audio at Departure Audio.
I saw a pic of the finalized Penny at the Blue Circle website. I like the look of it. No reason why this speaker won't sound really coming from an Ohm/Blue Circle collaboration.
Photos of the new Penny loudspeakers can be found here:

Get a look at those monster surrounds on the front-firing 7" bass woofers. John Strohbeen know how to extract every bit og useful bass out of a reflex box, and then some. Looks like an integration of a microwalsh and a subwoofer in one cabinet - bet they sound sweet!
