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 use the standard, full range Ohm 100s with subs (now Rythmiks, formerly Velodynes). I use an NHT x-2 to roll off the bass in the 100s and a Velodyne SMS-1 to roll off (and EQ)the subs. Integration is - to my ear - just about perfect. Personally, I'd go with full range Ohms. Just MHO.

Thanks - will stick with the standards vented design. BTW, pics of the new thousand series Walsh speakers, now in production, are now up on the Ohm website. Badda-bing - Bubbinga!
The new models look very nice.

One thing I notice though is 5 models now, each increasing in size. My recollection is that prior there were only 4 models.

I could be wrong on this one but I thought that the only difference between 300s and 5s were the level controls on the driver, not the cabinet size.
Well, I finally, FINALLY, pulled the trigger (been following this thread for a long time!) on a pair of Walsh 2000s. Although I wanted a satin black finish, that was not available, so I ordered a black finished wood veneer. I ordered the standard vented cabinet. Note that they still come with casters. Jay at Ohm took my order and was very helpful and patient with my numerous questions. Lead time was quoted as 3 to 4 weeks. UPS to New Jersey is $50. Wish me luck, I'll keep y'all posted.
Are the casters a standard alternative to the plinth base?

My impression was that the plinth was used starting with the 100/200/300/5 series in place of the casters used on the larger, older first and second generation OHM Walshs.

Personally I like the versatility the casters provide and I do not hear any noticeable sonic ill effects.
