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.

Wow! Thank guys. I talked to John and he told me there was not going to be a specific OHM 3000 sale this summer. But he pause for a second and was kind enough to offer a 20% discount on a new pair of OHM 3000. Of course I jumped on the deal. Thanks everyone.
Forgot to mention, John did first offer a discount on a 3000 driver with the older cabinet but I did not want it. That is when he paused and offered a discount on the newer OHM 3000.
I first encounter the OHM Walsh 4 as a penniless audiophile back in 1985 at a local dealer. That one experience has stay with me all these years. I want to thank John for keeping the faith in these unique speakers and I want to express my warmhearted recognition to the inventor Lincoln Walsh. At 56 years of age, these will probably be my last speakers.
Congrats on the 3000's! I do enjoy mine very much so, and probably like many here, remember first listening to Ohm's back in the early/mid 80's and them kind of staying with you. I am glad John was able to work with you on these, I am sure you will enjoy them very much. What veneer did you get?

Once you get them, hang in there with the break-in period, that can be somewhat frustrating at times, but they will come around. I think in the end they are a speaker that will just do it for you, or they won't, not much of an in-between. The main thing is just have fun and enjoy them along with your music! Tim
Moth my current OHMs sounded totally foreign to me when I first hooked them up despite having owned Walsh 2s for years. The thought that they sounded like crap at first listen probably crossed my mind. It's a combo of the speakers breaking in and your ears adapting to listening to music in a totally different way. Hang in there and tweak as needed! You will either make the transition or not. I suppose that's one reason why John offers such a favorably long audition period.
