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 know the C2s well. They are inherently brighter in tone than Walshes and most every other OHM speaker I have heard. People either like them for that or not.
Update: Ohm factory says my Walsh 2000s should ship on Monday, the 27th. Since I am one state over, I should have them the next day. Shipping on the 27th means that Jay, my salesman at Ohm, was spot-on when he told me that the speakers would ship in 3 to 4 weeks. Customer service is important to me, and meeting an expected delivery window speaks well of both Jay and Ohm.

More updates to follow. And, yes, I am cautiously excited!
So my 2000s are not coming today. That's OK. I called Ohm, and they held up the shipping, because upon final inspection, they were unhappy with the cabinet finish. They will be applying another coat of finish, and should ship on Thursday or Friday. I have no problem with this. I prefer that my speakers be as near-perfect as possible before they leave the factory. This would put delivery still within the delivery window I was given when I ordered.

Stereo Times has a new review of the Micro-Walsh SE by Frank Alles that is very encouraging. FWIW, his rooms, especially the larger one, are a bit larger than the c.f. range that the Micro-Walsh SEs are intended for. That would make Alles' only sonic criticism moot, ad far as I can tell.
Interesting the European Signature version has a tipped up top end. Maybe to make resemble the MBL sound more?
