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

"The 5000's through a huge soundstage and take control of the room with live listening levels."

For me, that's the pinnacle of "high end audio"

Lots of speakers can do most of the other stuff well. Its a lot harder to do it at a scale that sounds real. Nothing does it better than OHMs for a price that the average person might afford. That's a tribute to John Strohbeen and his inherent "blue collar" mentality when it comes to his business.

I also think a out how much these would cost retail if I had purchased them at a hi end audio salon????? TOTL 5000's listed on Ohms website for $6500 last year. I'm guessing twice that if I couldn't buy direct!! What do you think? I also used transparent audio speaker cables with the metal box. I've tried kimber 8tc and they sounded thin. I even put them in cable cooker for 3 days. The bryston and transparent have good synergy. Mike

Another example where the 5000's strut there stuff is on Jack and Diane by J Melloncamp. The middle part with drum solo just jumps out at you and can be very dramatic.

Blue,

I like reading detailed posts such as yours. Just think about using paragraphs - it makes reading a bit easier.

Some good info in your first 03-08 post.

If you want to hear drum attacks, I just purchased a Japenese import of a remastered Who "Quadrophenia" on SACD. It's unbelievably good on the 5000's. Since I just heard the Who last month play their Quadrophenia live (with a very competent substitute drummer), I could compare that with the Ohm's. They are just as good as the live, and I have my kitchen and bar nearby!
