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

My current home-theater configuration is as follows.

LCR: 3x100 S3 behind an acoustically transparent screen.

Side Surrounds: 2 x Super 2 (with the 100-S3 drivers).

Rears: 2 x 100 S3 in a half-sized omni version.

The LCR are behind an acoustically-transparent screen. The LCR and side surrounds are powered by an Emotiva XPA-5 amp, and the rears are powered by an Outlaw 7125 amp.

I am using a Yamaha RX-V765 as a pre-pro.

Everything is crossed at 80Hz to an Epik Conquest subwoofer.

I also have 2xMicro-Walshes in the mini-omni design, which I may use as heights/wides if I go above 7.1 or I may use as part of another system.

Man, those are some really, really good prices.

Walsh 100 walnut cabinets with new Walsh 2000 drivers.....................Regularly $2800 Now $1900

Hmmmm, when I had my 100's, I thought John said that they wouldn't take any of the X000-series drivers due to size incompatibilities....

Most likely he had not adapted the new drivers to that particular cabinet yet. Over time, he seems to work out how to adapt the newer drivers to as many old cabinets as possible, thereby providing the most potential upgrade paths possible. I do not think he would advertise or sell a new driver on an old cabinet until the combo can be tuned properly. Just plopping a new driver on an old cabinet would not be an optimized solution in that each cabinet's acoustics are different. Eventually, these get published to the web site at which point I suppose they become a formal product upgrade option.

A significant part of OHMs business is providing upgrades to older units, which both helps keep costs to current owners low and helps keep the customer base intact. If teh upgrade is not published on the web site, then its availability would not be assured.

Did anyone take advantage of the sale of old cabs/new X000 series drivers?

Its a yearly summer promotion it seems. I took advantage a few years back to get my F5's. Worked out swimmingly.....
