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.

Bondman,

Have you ever heard your buddy's system? I wonder what it is like?

I could make the same observation about my OHMs versus my Dynaudios which both are run off my system concurrently in different rooms. The Dyn's always seem at least a touch "hotter" in the midrange no matter what. Yet both probably measure fairly similarly flat in that area though likely not exactly the same. I doubt there is any significant measurable difference though there is little chance of mistaking one for the other typically I would say.
Also I belive a Gundry dip refers to a dip in the 2-4 khz area with which I read some BBC monitors/speakers in particular are associated. Most speakers have crossover points somewhere in there as well but the OHMs crossover a fair bit higher, so it is an area where I expect a lot of subtle differences among speakers can be heard.
They shipped today! UPS says they'll arrive Thursday, but of course I'm leaving for vacation Thursday afternoon through Monday, so probably no impressions until Tuesday :(
I had the Micros in the past (loved them), then the 100 (loved those too) and now the 3000. Really love them.

You need to give the Ohms at least 25 hours to start breaking in. Before that they will sound congested, no soundstage, ie, the sound is stuck to the speakers- like you’d experience with a table radio, and limited in hight and low frequency extension. So I’d hold off on posting impressions prior to 25 hours. About 100 hours in they will really sing. I’m blown away at how my 3000s sound.
Mapman - No, I never heard his system. Come to think of it, I don't even know what it is. But I will ask him next time I see him.
