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

Sorry I didn't respond - I'm presently buried under unread Emails and work-related stuff.

The ST-1000 is driving the Walshs beautifully -effortlessly. The sound is very lively and dynamic, silky yet super-detailed and the noise floor is non-existent. I'm driving the amp with a Pioneer Elite SP99D Preamp-processor which has an utterly clean, quiet and neutral sound. I use it in stereo mode exclusively.

My main listening system:

Ohm Walsh 5000
Cables: solid core .9999 silver 18g
Wyred4Sound ST-1000
Pioneer Elite SP-99D Preamp-Processor
Cambridge Audio DACMagic
Pioneer Elite PD-59 transport

Excellent Mamboni, will be looking forward to more comments/review when you can. Tim

...Wyred ST-1000 will soon be shipped. Will compare to the McCormack.

Foster_9 -- not to derail this thread but how did your experimenting with the Burson buffer work out between your VTL 2.5 and McCormack? I presume you have taken it out of the chain with the Wyred ST-1000?

Hey Marty - I'm finally starting to get into Richard Thompson - he was on Elvis Costello's show a couple of weeks ago - he was amazing...

Thanks for the suggestions, Michael. My piano problems are more or less solved. It seems there was a push in the mids that repositioning the speakers and the acoustic treatments have reduced dramatically.

Last night I listened to Mozart's Requiem by José van Dam, Herbert von Karajan, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and Rudolf Scholz, a 1990 CD of a 1975 recording.

The female soloist was a little rough, with some glare that was limited to a narrow frequency range. I replayed the first part after listening all the way through and noticed a lot less glare than I remember from the first go around. Perhaps all the gear had warmed up a bit? Also, out of laziness, I neglected to throw a quilt over my 55" RPTV that sits between and behind the Ohms.

I am getting the feeling that I don't think I will be able to improve on the Ohm Walsh 2000s without dropping significantly more coin. Since spending more for the forseeable future is impossible, I am getting close to a decision to keep these. They are not perfect, but I think with better cables, the spiked bases I mentioned before, and a few more improvements to the room, they could be as close to perfect as possible for under about $10K.
