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.

The last song on cd1 of the box set "Cowabuunga: The Surf Box" is "Shoot That Curl" by Chris Montez. The last few minutes of this is ocean wave sound effects. These are something to hear on the OHMs. Close your eyes and turn the volume up a bit and you will be convinced you are out in the surf shooting that curl wit the waves pounding all around you. Awesome!
Thanks for the responses, and clearing things up. I think I'm gonna go for the micro talls if/when I sell my Tyler's (I lowered my price to hopefully speed things up). The OHM factory is actually only a mile from my apt, which is kinda cool.
You can go to the factory and audition them, which is an advantage very few of us have had. That is cool!! I think once you hear them, you will have no doubt in your mind that they're special. Then once you get them home, you can experience them in your own listening space, and you'll hear why we've been singing the praises of ohm speakers. Call John and set up an audition. Please post your reactions. Good luck!! Joe
Thanks for the info. on your 5's Map, so basically you feel like you have plenty of adjustability overall for most situations in your room other than odd/drastic frequency anomolies then? I am just getting a feel for that in case I do think about the 5000's in the future.

Have been listening to my 3/3000's a lot this weekend, the "fuzziness" is already smoothing out, and I am just being patient with the lower mids/bass right now. Things are very enjoyable though! Enjoy the tunes guys, Tim
Just a word of praise for John and the boys at Ohm in terms of the packaging of their speakers. My 100s arrived at their new home on Monday. Fortunately, I had saved all the original packing materials -- and I can tell you that repacking those puppies was not easy! Still, my heart kind of fell when the new owner e-mailed me to say that one of the boxes was seriously roughed up by UPS. But John once told me that he considers their packaging material to be "a sacrificial offering to UPS." Anyway, the 100s are QUINTUPLE boxed at the factory, and between two outermost nested boxes are sheets of plywood. So, in the end, the speakers came through unharmed. Whew! :-)
