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

Thought I would check in after a long hiatus from this thread. Not much to say previoulsy because I've been struggling to get my setup to sound good with my Walsh 5000 protoypes in my room. It's no fun to report when the struggle is ongoing. So I've been quiet. Been through different amps and preamps. I can finallly report that I've turned the corner and good sound is in the house with the W4S ST-1000 amp and newly added Cary SLP-05 preamp. The 5000's really do holography, imaging and dimensionality that I had not heard previous to the addition of the Cary and I haven't even rolled tubes yet. The Cary has brought a new level of palpability to the Walsh speakers.

Foster,

Glad to hear it. Your patience and determination is admirable!

Nice to hear of a new winning combo (Cary/W4S/OHM). I've always heard good things about Cary products but have never had the chance to listen.

Foster, what is different in your prototype 5000's? Just curious. Glad you are getting your system sorted though. The Cary is a nice looking rig, haven't heard it yet but my local dealer is a big fan-must be why he sells them! Enjoy! Tim

Frazeur1, these have Walsh 5-S3 cabinets which means they don't have the rounded corners; the drivers are pre production 5000's.

Hi Emerson (Foster_9),

Glad to hear that you've turned the corner, obviously after a great deal of effort (and expense). How is the bass now, which iirc was the most significant issue earlier on? Assuming it is now reasonably good, which component change was primarily responsible for improving it?

Best regards,
