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

Jwc2012: Well, I sorted out the short. It seems the unbalanced main outputs on my preamp have failed. The wires are fine. Fortunately, my preamp has three sets of unbalanced main outputs, so I switched to a different set. Everything works fine, although I am a bit upset that this will be an issue if I ever sell the preamp. I'd either have to have it repaired or take a much lower price. Most of all, I thought I was buying a bullet-proof preamp, but the first one I bought had the same issue out of the box. I exchanged it, and 2.5 years later, I have the same issue with the second unit. I suppose the weight of the long RCA cables might have pulled something loose in the preamp, but that should not have happened. In any case, I now have the cables dressed in a way that does not stress the output jacks.

But I am back to basking in glorious Ohm Walsh sound!

Well, the switch does help dial in the enjoyment factor! But I am a tweaker by heart :)

The BM2 replaced Merlin VSM-MXe's so they must be doing something correctly! What Ohm's do for large scale, dynamic performances has to be heard. 2c3d when set up in a audiophile manner (ie no Video screen between them, well out into the room), whether it's large symphonie or piano/voice... you're there, they're here... good stuff indeed!

Monk, sounds like things are working out just the way they should. Enjoy! You have some very unique speakers there!

Yup, unique is the right word. Blue Circle doesn't have any mention of the BM2 on its web site, including in the History section. Too bad.

Yea, the BM2 was a short lived product... only a few out there. There was a dealer for BC that just passed away in the finger lakes of NY (disclaimer - I have no affiliation), his estate might still have a pair available if interested... there is guy listing that dealers BC amps and BC501 dac on usa audiomart, helping that estate out. They are not sure what to do the Ohm BM2 speakers, so they might be had (with a pair of BC speaker cables thrown in) for the right Ohm customer ;-) Its worth a listen to if interested...
