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

Stph,

There aren't that many omnis out there. As to the best known brands, here's one thought:

The big Ohms don't cost enough. The big MBL costs too much.

Just about every reviewer seems to own a pair with a price tag somewhere in between.

Omnis also stretch the purist notion of "accuracy" since studio and mastering monitors aren't omnidirectional. They're not often dipole planars either, but people seem somehow to have less issue with that delta.

Does anyone have any info on the ohm center channel. Im thinking about some micro walsh talls for ht duty b/c the small size helps WAF. Was wondering if the ohm center is also on the smaller side?

Thanks

With recent mentions of Miller Sound and John Potis, I happened to come across this which I thought a very fun read:

Hey check this out. An exotic omnidirectional speaker from Italy.

Interesting design, but it doesn't appear to use a Walsh driver. The only other manufacturer of Walsh drivers that I know of is Physiks in Germany, who produce frightfully expensive and prodigious (the top of the line weighs nearly 1000 pounds) speakers. Part of the appeal, supposedly, of the Ohm is that the Walsh driver in original form produced coherent waveforms across the spectrum. Electrostatics should do the same. The only other "omnidirectional" speaker I've heard was the Bose 901 series, which actually uses direct and reflected sound- I never cared for them much.
