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

"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

Mapman: I did remove the subs from the signal chain briefly last month. I am sure the bass output from the 2000s is respectable, but I absolutely love my pair of Vandy 2Wq subs. I missed them enough that I put them back in soon after. I'll live with the longer break-in time that results.

My amp is a solid state Odyssey Audio HT3 with cap upgrade (150w X 3). Odysseyaudio.com. There is also an Oddyseey Audio circle over at that audio circle web site. IMHO, it's a heck of an amp for the money. If I could afford it, I would look at either a Butler or a Moscode, but an amp upgrade is far down on the list. Preamp is a C-J PV-11 w/phono.

The Sound Anchor stands are cheap for well-healed audiophiles, but for me, the $300 or so cost is affordable, but not an impulse buy.

One of the reasons I like the Vandy subs so much (and there are numerous reasons) is that they do provide a visceral, feel-it-in-your-gut kind of bass, even with my carpeted concrete floor. In all honesty, and I know this sounds a bit silly, if the Walsh 2000s didn't blend well with the Vandy subs (they do), I would return the Ohms rather than give up the 2Wqs.
