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

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,
-- Al

Hi Al, yes the expense has been for me more than I would have wanted or ever thought of before. But you can't quit. For bass the room seems to be bad with the speakers flanking the short wall. Top to bottom bass included however has improved at least to the point that I can live with it. The sound is much more fleshed out (fuller top to bottom) in general with the new preamp and clarity too is a big improvement. And I always have subs if I decide to turn them on for stronger lows.
