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.

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?
Never heard Is but have almost picked up a pair on several occasions. They are reputed to be quite awsome. They were an interim top of the line design prior to the Walsh cls driver but do not utilize any Walsh driver techlology.
Good to see the old thread active.

Just to chime in: while I'm sure the Ohm's are responsive to all sorts of improvements, one of the factors that keeps me from even auditioning other speakers is how wonderful they are with a quality amp and good placement.

Still the largest and most realistic soundstage I have heard for under about 50K, and my system is nowhere near audiophile quality...
