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.

I noticed a pair of OHM 4.5 mkiis up for sale here currently for what appears to be a very good price, just a bit over a grand! Seller indicates these were John Potis' speakers on which he published a review.

These are 2 generation old Walsh 5 drivers in Walsh 4 cabinets, adaptable for all size rooms. The mkii's used a different tweeter I believe than the newer series 3s, but the Walsh drivers are identical as I understand it.
i'm a proud owner of ohm walsh 300 mk 2, ohm walsh 4x0, 2x0, pro 200, eminent tech lft 8a which i will upgrade to a b, and will replace my non working maggie 2.5 with the new 1.7, and a rare acoustat spectra 33 w/spl-1 subwoofer my most majestic collection, driven by carver and sunfire amps! with dakiom feedback stabilizers and many more equipment too many to list. You can own great sound without being wealthy. That is what AUDIOGON is all about, such a great community. Here at audiogon, wealthy people sell their well cared for awesome equipment because of upgrad bug to us audio PEASANTS who couldn't afford retail. Used equipment from audiogoneers is the smartest shopping anywhere in home audio period!

You beat me, 4 pair of OHMs owned to 3.

I resist the urge to just dump all other makes altogether and go all OHM. I do like to contrast and compare different designs that I like, however in the end, if I had to downsize, I'd be fine with pure wall to wall OHMs, even after over 30 years of ownership.
It's funny, this could be a (GASP!) new thread: Tiger Woods, fidelity and Ohm.

I recently ended an 8+ year early retirement to (GASP!) go back to work. As a result, my music time has shrunk from app. 4 hrs a day (split between listening and piano and/or guitar practice) to about 1 hr. a day.

Although, in theory, I rotate my Verity P/E, Merlin VSM, and Maggie MMGs into the system periodically, that was slowing down, anyway. Now with the time crunch (okay, piano is going, I'm hopeless anyway), I may just bail on the other speakers.

Anyone in SoCal looking for a deal? I guess I'm an Ohm guy, now.

BTW the OHMs I would most like to add that I do not already have (if I had room) are the Walsh-less Hs and Is.

For application in smaller rooms, either another pair of Ls (with latest and greatest crossover and drivers from OHM) or one of the harder to find CAM/PRO series, which I have never actually heard, perhaps.
