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.

Even with a lottery hit, there just aren't that many speakers I'd be interested in. I'm sold on the omni concept- so I guess MBL's or German Physiks would be a possibility. But I'd probably just go with a larger, recent incarnation of the Ohm's.

It's been almost 3 years that I've had the MWT's, and I still remember the thrill of doing the research, reading this thread and talking to John.

Even with my 'pedestrian' Marantz receiver, Emotiva sub and lap-top based music/movie server system, the soundstage, imaging and tonal accuracy is amazing to me.

I've moved on to obsessing on my pro-audio caliber bass rig, which is why I don't even frequent this board too often. I just feel no need to upgrade, which has never happened to me before now. If anything, some Micro Walsh Walls may be in the future to have a surround set-up. But not anytime soon...
Mapman I have photos but I can't seem to figure out how to put these in a response- it only accepts words, not jpeg.

Since you ask :-)

First, that is a really nice looking set of speakers!

Second, I suspect that you would greatly improve your sound stage IF you could shift all of the stuff, especially the speakers, 2 to3 feet further into the room and hang some heavy cloth panels on the windows. You could keep the shears and drapes on separate rods keeping the drapes open framing the windows except for those times you are listening critically. But I realize we all have problems and ideal set ups are not always possible. :-)
