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

I'm using a Parasound HCA-2205, 220 wpc and up to 60 Amps of current. I feel that it is totally overkill for the Micro Walshes, but it does drive them well.

Am thinking of changing to an integrated, or a tube pre-amp with a more reasonable amp when I move to VA.

I originally used an old Harmon Kardon AVR-20 at 40- watts that didn't have anough juice to make them sing, but they sounded ok.

Listening today to Paul Simon's album "Surprise" once again, with a big smile on my face. It's a partnership with electronica guru Brian Eno. The engineer is someone unfamiliar to me, a guy named Tchad Blake.

Anyway, it's a bass and texture showcase for the Ohm 100's. My favorite moment (one of them, anyway) is during the song "Once Upon A Time There Was An Ocean." About a minute into the song, a big, honking synth bass -- actually two sounds, a higher one, and a subterranean hip-hop kind of note -- comes charging in on the right. It's amazing on the Ohms... makes you want to get up and dance.

:-)

Glad your Ohm 100's are doing the job for you Rebbi! Ohm's are just plain fun to listen to!

Do you miss your Unico at all? I never have had the pleasure of listening to one, but they sure do look nice. I am sure your Manley/Bel Canto is doing a nice job for you though. Enjoy the music! Tim

Rebbi - Tchad Blake is GREAT!! He's done some amazing recordings with Mitchell Froom - An album that sounds great on my Ohms, is Colossal Head, by Los Lobos. An incredible album that Blake and Froom collaborated on...

It sounds like the Manley/Canto combo is working for you. I think that rig will be hard to improve upon, without getting into crazy $$$!

I'd tend to agree. Rebbe, I think you did quite well!
