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.

Jwc2012: To answer your post, I have an Odyssey Stratos HT3 w/ cap upgrade. Not sure of the headroom, but I was very surprised to hear it clip. I thought it was room accoustics until I borrowed a pair of Class D 500 watt mono blocks, and the issues pretty much dissappeared. I do listen loud, but not crazy loud, I would guess 80-90 dB is not unusual. But, my room is 2800 c.f., and fairly "dead". Perhaps there is an issue with the amp. While still under warrenty, I did have to have a leaky cap replaced. However, this 65 lb. beast costs a fortune to ship, and I really preferred the overall sonic results I got with those Class D amps, so I would want to upgrade anyway. I will move the Odyssey to power the center and surrounds in my combo stereo/HT rig once I upgrade to a more powerful amp. I know this sounds a bit weird, but I am trusting my ears on this one.
Bondman, that is weird, but your ears are the judge here. Serious clipping isn't subtle in my experience. They'd know. Though I do wonder if something was wrong with that amp.

You're on to something with class D amps. My tech was showing me some pro-audio OEM units he makes out of standardized modules: cool, clean, insane power, and TINY! I think we'll be seeing a lot of these amps in some shape and form in the future.
Tobeornottobe,

I am also interested in Class D now that I have a new pair of Ohms. What's the difference between the M2 Series and M3? When you go to D-Sonic's landing page, it features their M2 series but clicking anywhere on the page, you then see some info on the M3 series. All it says on that page: "The M3 Series offers improved Class D technology". Not much help there...
I don't know. D-Sonic gives very little info. But I do trust and believe the company if they think M3 series is an improvement over M2.
