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.

The Omni Harmonizers were placed on the Ohm 3000 grills with no problems. The grills still leave some space between themselves and the top of the metal can that encloses the Ohm drivers. My understanding is that Ohm own dome supertweeter sit directly above the Walsh driver inside that can.
Thanks for the update Tobeornottobe. Always wanted to hear the OH and just may at some point.
I've heard a folded ribbon/heil type tweeter that looks like the one in those in a pair of Goldenear Aon speakers recently. THose were very impressive with a very smooth and somewhat polite top end compared to say the native OHM X00 series three line or Dynaudios with esotar tweeters that I currently own. I have not always been a fan of how ribbon tweeters integrate with conventional cone drivers but those using recent technology were as good as I have heard. I could see where they might blend in well with OHM Walsh drivers which also tend to be quite fast when properly driven The omni dispersion design of those M&Ds an interesting approach in that the a weak aspect of those tweeters that I have heard is that they are quite directional compared to soft dome tweeters.
After sitting on the sidelines for a l-o-n-g time, I am thinking about buying a pair. Model is the Ohm Walsh V MKII. I know I can check out the Ohm website for details, but since this is THE go-to place for info on Ohms, I'd like to know what you guys think about this particular model - its strengths, weaknesses, things to look out for, possible upgrades, alternative models. Asking price is $2300. Thanks
Ohm 5 MK II is second generation CLS design, one generation earlier than my 5 F3s.

I have not heard mkII series so cannot comment on sound. I have also owned and heard 1st generation Walsh 2s.

I should be a lot of speaker for $2300.

All 5s have the same 4 3 way level adjustments for low bass, mid bass, mid-range and treble that help tweak the sound to room.

Unless you have a large enough room to justify the size of the 5, you might be able to go with a smaller and perhaps even newer model used in similar price range. The main thing you give up is the level controls, but there are many other ways to tweak sound in a room with the right size Walsh speaker if needed.
