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

My mwt 's arrived on friday. Very impressive. I will have further post soon but my prelimninary thought is that they are the most non audiophile high end audiophile speaker ive heard. In a great way....

Second i put them in both my great room with hard wood floors no furntiture and large windows... Their ability to charge or couple tonthe room is unbeleivable. I then put them in my smaller tv room......equally impressive in a different way.

Im happy....

Kbuzz what speakers have you had/heard before? Just curious for reference.

I currently use vintage ls35as as my reference trasing off with omega alinco hemps for single driver fun

Historically, ive owned quite a bit going back to dunlavys, and tannoy reds. As stated above ill add more detail when i have a chance for context and reference

Kbuzz - Interesting... I moved from my MWT's to a pair of Harbeth P3-ESR's. I had the Ohms for quite a while, but the bass was too much for my room, so I really needed a good pair of monitors.

I miss my Ohm's but I now know that I made the right decision - I ended up selling my MWT's back to John, and we had a nice conversation, when I dropped them off (I live in NYC, and happily dropped them off to John's work-place. Actually, I also picked them up there, when I bought them, so I went full circle!). Anyway, I still recommend Ohms to lots of people, and I'm always happy to see them thrive.

When I get a bigger space, look out!

Well, I guess tastes differ. I had an audiophile buddy over for a brief audition of my system on Sunday. I thought the thing was sounding pretty good, but he was clearly less than impressed. Afterwards, he asked me if I had intentionally built a Gundry dip into the system. Hmmm. That was interesting because what I like about my rig with the 2000s is that there is no glare or edge in the upper-mid to lower-treble range (to which I am very sensitive). I don't feel like I am missing any of the music, but maybe if one is less sensitive to that range, or if one is used to a system that spotlights that part of the frequency spectrum, it might sound that way. I do have them toed-in slightly. Interestingly, I do feel that many of the better systems I hear have as their Achiles' heel some glare in that range.

I shrugged my shoulders. It is possible that people who hear differently will never "get" the Ohm Walsh sound. Heck, many speakers that I consider overly-bright and glarey sell well, and for very high prices. I still wouldn't trade my Ohms for those speakers, and some of them cost many multiples of my 2000s. To me, once you hear Ohms, with their finely detailed sound without any of the etch or grain of overly-bright speakers, there's no going back.
