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

Frazeur - My 2000s are singing wonderfully. A recent power cord change to my amp is over-emphasizing some HF transients, especially on certain female voices, but the cord is still running in, and upgrading the plugs should fix it completely. I just need money! It's amazing how revealing the Ohms are of changes upstream. I've been listening more often and for as long as I can lately.

Bond-great on the 2000's, and boy, I do not envy you with cord/cable changes, those are the kind of "upgrades" that typically would drive me mad! But yes, the Ohm's are very revealing of anything in the stream, but the good thing is, I also find them very easy, no matter what is there for the most part.

I am sadly missing my Ohm's very much. Health and financial issues have forced my hand and my entire system was sold over the last few months. At some point though down the road, I would like to be able to get another pair. I guess I have just gone through a major purging/simplification at this point. But I will be back. Tim

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Tim.

Hey guys good to see this thread alive and well .. it's been a while. In fact it's been so long that formerly I posted under Jmelvin. I had problems with my account during the transition and ended up creating a new account, hence the name change.

Since last posting on this thread, and that was back in '09 I think, my system has evolved .. new amp, DAC, and loudspeakers. What can I say? Love music. Love gear. My change from the MicroWalsh Talls was nothing more than a desire to hear a different flavor of loudspeaker. So after 7 years or so of ownership I decided to go back to a stand-mount, the Mark & Daniel Ruby, and was not disappointed. After having these for a while I wanted to taste a panel so I purchased the Magnepan MMG, and again I was not disappointed. I guess this is the start of a loudspeaker collection as I still own all 3 with no intentions of giving any of them up. I love each flavor!

So why am I posting? Yup, I recently put the Ohms back in the mix just to hear them again. I must say, I'm very happy I held on to them. These are such great speakers .. they do so much right. As you all know, the presentation is unlike any other. More people really need to hear an omni.

Cheers .. Happy New Year

Wtf - Thanks for the update. I bet I am not the only one who would love to hear your impressions of the differences of the three speakers you own. If you have the time, that is.

I also love music and gear, but space and finances require me to keep my purchases well-spaced and sensible upgrades rare. I am on year three with my Ohms, which replaced my 9-year-old Vandersteen 1Cs. Anything can happen, but I would not be surprised if I am listening to the Ohms for the rest of my life. I really cannot find anything in them to complain about. Of course, since I frequent hi-fi shows and audio club meets, you never know when I will hear something that is both affordable and good enough to make me think I could improve on the Ohms.

I will say this: The only speaker other than the Ohms I would recommend in the ~$3K price range for tower speakers is one that is newer than my Ohms, and one I only heard last summer - The Golden Ear Triton. I have yet to hear anything else in this price range (which is my price range) that I could live with long term.

Being this happy with my Ohms allows me to focus on improvements elsewhere in the system. So far, the Ohms have clearly revealed the value, or lack thereof, of any changes to gear or wires I have made. Current focus is on cabling.
