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

I have been using a pair of Ohm 200 MKIIs in my system for about 12 years. I have made regular upgrades to the system based on my impression of the "weak link in the chain". After each change the Ohms have been fully capable of revealing the improvement in system performance. My last upgrade was the addition of a very high end Thor preamp which made a dramatic improvement. I will be traveling to Montreal this week to retrieve a pair of Classe DR3-VHC super high current monoblocks that I had recapped and have never used. These amps were desinged to drive Apogee Scintillas. I fully expect another huge improvement in system performance. The point of this is that whatever changes I have made, the Ohms have responded and I have never considered them the weakest link. Pretty remarkable for a pair of $2000 speakers. I will probably be considering a driver update, but definitely not replacement.

My 5000s sit on a suspended hardwood floor. I firmed up the bass considerably by installing 3 FIM pucks shown here:

under each speaker. No other modifications were made or added. Gets rid of vibration and resonance.

I just blew the tweeters on one of my 5000 speakers. Is there a fuse to replace? or do they have to go back to factory.

Blueranger,
What did you do to make them "blow". What are the symptoms - just no sound? Was there any strange noise just before?

I would call John S.

Right channel clipped on amp (600 watt Bryston) and high frequencies died on same speaker. I did not turn up volume anymore than usual. I never run in clipping. I always turn volume back. I sent John S an email
