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.

Like wtf, I also keep MMGs to rotate with my Ohm 100s (w/ a pair of Rythmik subs, in both cases). Additionally, I have two very high quality full-range speakers available for spot duty. Any of these set-ups will produce -IMHO- outstanding results, however, the Ohms still see 90+% of the active duty.
Since acquiring my Rubys, I've wondered about the Omni Harmonizer. I'd love to hear your impressions after you've had a chance to evaluate. I wouldn't have thought to mate it with Ohms.

This weekend, i experimented with the ohm 100 series 3 speakers back in the sun room, which i have not tried in quite awhile in that in the past, the bass was always just too heavy in there.

What a nice surprise this time that they are sounding spot on! The only difference is this time they
are each sitting on a one foot square ceramic tile acting as a plinth under the bass ports in the bottom. They sit on a thick wool oriental rug on a tile floor, that i have always had trouble with acoustically. Its a keeper
now! I can see why all newer 1000 series models have the plinth on the bottom. IT helps avoid too much interaction between bass port and floor/room acoustics.

Triangle titus are back in the larger family room where the 100s were prior on my second system. Set up nicely on stands (for the first time ever in that room) and no sub this time. The m&k needs to be rebuilt, a project for another day.

The triangles too sound quite glorious, a natural mate with the warmer electronics in that system. I think i can live without a sub there for a while with no problem. The 100s sounded the warmest I have ever heard OHM Walshes sound in my second system, with the NAD pre-amp, TAD Hibachi monoblocks,and mhdt Paradisea tube DAC. The Triangles are more efficient and tend more towards the cold/analytic side and benefit nicely from warmer gear upstream, including a tube or two.

As it stands, i may just donate my ohm Ls that i custom rebuilt myself a
while back to my sister. They will work well for her i think. These are in
my
unfinished area and do not get used often, only on occasion while playing
table tennis. I can easily pick up something inexpensive to replace those
eventually just to try something different.
