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.

Mapman - I agree completely. While I really enjoy listening to my system as it is currently configured, the Ohms respond very well to upgrades. I am currently evaluating a pair of Vandersteen MHP-5 crossovers (I have a pair of Vandy subs) that replaced Vandersteen's basic crossovers. So far, the Ohms let me hear the improvements in the crossovers: Smoother mids and treble, better low-level detail, more stable imaging, and more bass (to the point that I will probably dial back the subs).

I am also planning several IC and power cord upgrades. As always, I will post my impressions here.
I've found significant differences with different ICs with the OHMS, more so than any other speaker I have owned.

HAven't crossed the bridge of dabbling with power cords yet. HAve not felt the need. I hesitate to change anything at present. Everything has been dialed in for the OHM F5s for about a year now. Maybe sometime soon.
Once again I upgraded my system (Is there any escape from this madness?). You can check out the amp review in the Products Review:Amps:McCormack DNA-250
Musical and muscular! I like that description!

I'd love to see some nice photos of those bubinga 5000s.
I'm giving thought to keeping the Ohm 2's and moving them to the bedroom for a second system... with a larger pair of Ohms for the first floor/LR system. Spotted a used pair of Ohm I for sale (not Ohm 1's.) These are conventional speakers in the sens that they have five forward firing drivers but unconventional in that they have an additional three upward facing drivers on top of each speaker. If I drop the hammer on these it is a sale at a distance - no chance to audition them. have any of you heard these and can share thoughts on how different or similar the sound is to the Ohm 2 design and its ilk?
