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.

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?

Bondmanp,

Thanks for the tip. John Strohbeen must be thrilled; that's a rave review in anybody's book!

Just in case anybody is wondering about my Walsh 2000 purchase, there has been a delay. First, the finish needed some extra work. Next, John Stohbeen felt, after listening to my pair, that the speakers needed some kind of an adjustment. Expected arrival date is now October 12th. Of course I'm a little dissappointed, but gratified that Ohm is paying such close attention to detail and quality control. The Paul Mason of loudspeakers? I'll keep you posted.
