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

Bondman, it's a fair point, all the instrument fundamentals are well within the "Walsh" driver's range so the prospect of hearing that kind of seamlessness is mouthwatering.

Tim...many thanks for the Decware info. There is some very unusual design work going on there. An extraordinary looking speaker. I've often wondered if someone had tried to deploy ribbons atop an omni....now we know! :)

Moon, I always kind of dig around for any omni speaker, omni's just seem to do it for me more than any other speaker, yet I can enjoy about any type, planar, dynamic or whatever. I guess ever since hearing my first Ohm Walsh of the CLS kind in the early 80's, they have just managed to stick.

The Decware ERR definately looks interesting though, and if I don't get over to Peoria, Illinois to hear them soon, I may go over in the fall to their annual "Decfest" to give them a good listen. I was planning on going last fall, but some unexpected things came up and I couldn't go.

I am really curious how the ribbon tweeters sound with this combination, and am also curious about the overall bass response of this speaker. The cabinetry and grills look very nice, with that Ohm pyramid look, which I do love. We shall see. Tim

There's a news flash now on the OHM site:

"IN THE NEWS
May 14, 2012

Thank You Germany.

The Walsh 1000s received a fine review in Germany and we are expecting to have a good translation very soon.

We are running about 10-15 working days for standard orders. Custom jobs are always welcome."

I've been very interested to hear how OHM does in Germany, what with the mbls, GPs, and other high tech companies there.

Economic forces could be just right these days to enable an American Product to compete against the GErman big boys on their own turf. I guess we may find out soon.

OK, you can find it on this site under "tests" if you look.

German OHM 1000 Review

Mapman I had to chuckle over that translation. It's almost as if it makes sense but not quite. I think that he liked them though. Maybe I'll get my son to translate (he's a German major in college) and see how he does.
