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.

Ok I'm just gonna straight up ask what subwoofer under $500 I should get to pair with my Microtalls. Can someone also describe where in the chain of connections the subwoofer goes in my setup with the Peachtree Nova? Does the subwoofer get cOnmected directly to the Nova? To the speakers?
RBI, for what it is worth, I use a pair of REL T-3 subs with my MWT'S when they are in the system. These can be found fairly cheaply on occasion here on the Gon, also a couple of close out companies have had them listed, but I bet most will be out of stock by now. I got mine on close out. These mate really well to the Ohm's as well as my MMG's. Good little subs, does depend on your room size too here.

Richinny and Marty, take a look at the Ikonoklast tweeters, very similar to the old Walsh tweeter made for the Infinity speaker many years ago, these can be bought and added on to other speakers. It has given me some of those thoughts about trying different combos. Sorry I don't have a link right off, but I think you can find them. Interesting huh? Enjoy the music! Tim
Frazeur, I see new ones on ebay for $500. Would I be alright with just one (at least for the time being)? Does it just get connected to the line-out of my Nova?
Actually, looks like the T-2 and T3 can both be had for $400. Is the T-2 better?
Just updated my system with a Pangea AC-9SE power cord hooked up to my McCormack DNA 250. I know that this is a somewhat controversial subject, but Steve McCormack himself recommends upgraded power cords, so I bought a 2 meter cord from Pangea (and got $50 off- now through the end of the month!). I immediately noticed that the ground loop hum became barely audible. As to the performance, it may just be my imagination, but the bass notes seem slightly clearer and "fuller", to the extent that I just can't imagine using a subwoofer with my 5000's. Does anyone else think that a high quality power cord makes a difference in sound? BTW, this thing is as thick as a garden hose!
