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.

"John has been touting on his site"???
Touting? Hardly. He says go to the site for more information. Well there is very little information about any of his products. You have to pretty much call for any details (how does he get anything done if he's on the phone so much?). I keep hoping he will get the site redesigned but I've been hoping a long time and not much has changed.

Don't get me wrong - his products sound wonderful. I own a pair of 5000s and love 'em. I too am wondering what an F-5015 is. Guess I'll have to call, but a pic would be nice.
Map, it is an F-5000 with an active 15" sub built in.......Actually, I just made that one up, but one never knows. I too saw that and wondered, but the price for me is way beyond my means. Still curious too though. Tim
A separate cosmetically matched 15" sub bundled in with f-5000 is as good a guess as any I can come up with to hit that high price. I guess only John knows for sure. I would call but don't like to bother him unless I am serious about possibly buying something which I am not in this case.
I had sent John S. at Ohm a note earlier, and inquired about the Ohm F-5015, here is his response. Guess I wasn't too far off on my guess afterall....

The F-5015 is the ultimate upgrade Ohm F. The cabinet has a 15" XtremeXcursion, sealed subwoofer (on the bottom) and a 500 watt amplifier to get a 16Hz response at high output levels. The F driver board gets sealed and enlarge to be accept a Walsh 5000 driver. The grill is the size of the original F but is made from mostly perforated metal and has our current seamless grill cloth. When built all-new, we are targeting $12,000 per pair. I am using up F cabinets with these beta versions.

Maybe at some point there will be some pics, maybe.....Tim
