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.

Bondman,

I'd lose the subs for awhile if you want to work the OHMs hardest to break them in fastest.

What amp are you using again?
"the Walsh 2000s will benefit from spiked bases"

Any cheap tweak to make them stable if not otherwise is worth it.

That will help them transit low end energy through the floor more effectively and can only help with impact/dynamics.

Concrete foundations/floors or similar heavy rigid flooring will inhibit energy transmitted through the floor that an end user may sense and help perceive more impact/dynamics.

I've been relating to FOster_9 in emails that I have both OHMs on a solid concrete foundation/floor (lightly carpeted to help filter high frequency reflections) and that produces a most controlled bass still with plenty of impact and dynamics at realistic listening levels, and all off of a mere 120w/ch (but fairly high current) amp.
Remember the old Maxell Logo?

That guy might not take well to the presentation of OHMs or omnis in general.
Parasound,

The cages nor speakers aren't bad looking, but I do like to be able to see my drivers doing their thing when I chose to.

But as I've pointed before, what's under that cage is not pretty and nobody would want to look at it. So the cages are a very practical design touch.
So true Mapman, things aren't very pretty at all under the cans. But I sure do love the music they make. And that is what is important! I do love the design, and I love the industrial look of those cans!

I was doing some testing on the Super-2/2000 upgrades, they are a very nice upgrade over the original drivers. I don't know how they compare to the last series as I don't have anything to compare them too directly at the moment. I have enjoyed reading through this thread. Enjoy your music! Tim
