Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?

Foster9, If you are not already famililar with the theories about sound reproduction linearity at low volumes you might like to read up on the Fletcher Munson Curve. I think how they deal with the bass issue is correct, maybe not so much with the highs. Bottom line its not so much the equipment as it is your ears and how you hear sound.

Yes, make sure the rivers are tight and secure, but do not overtighten. This ca make a difference in the bass primarily.

With proper amplification and setup, the OHMs should do quite well, as well as most designs at low volume. An adjustable level sub might be one way to deal with Fletcher Munson at low volumes. Being able to adjust bass levels properly only when needed is the key. At higher volumes, it may be redundant for most recordings I would think. I would think your parametric equalizer should be able to make the desired adjustments for low volumes as well?

Thanks Newbee, Almarg has been saying similar.

Foster another possibility if all else fails is to make sure the tubes in the pre-amp are good.

Do yo still have other speakers to compare to? That would help determine whether the issue was unique to the OHMs or originating elsewhere perhaps.

Mapman, I will eventually replace the tubes. No other speakers to compare with however. Thanks
