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.

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.

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!

How can the Ohm Walsh 5000 match such a wide range of room sizes?

Can you play the Ohm's at lower sound levels and still get involving sounds? Some speakers sound flat and dull unless you turn them up loud.

"How can the Ohm Walsh 5000 match such a wide range of room sizes?"

4 separate 3-way level adjustments including a low bass level adjustment that you set to small, medium or large depending on room size.

Yes, but you need a good, high current, matching amp to deliver truly balanced results at low levels in particular.
