I pulled the trigger, I bought OHM Walsh Micro Tall Speakers...

So I called John Strohbeen, what a great man!

He helped me select an appropriate model for my tiny little music room which used to be a bedroom that we blew the wall out of!

I am a big fan of 3 dimensional sound and the disappearing act of speakers, massive, deep and wide sound stage and I believe I made the right call. I considered KEF R series, Tekton Pendragon, Tannoy Revolutions and Sonus Faber. I think I made the right call.
Will be driving them with a Primaluna Dialogue Premium running kt150’s

Are any of you current or past OHM owners and if you are your opinions please!

DJones51 when do you expect to see yours? And yes will post opinions as soon as they arrive which should be tomorrow or Saturday!

I also ordered a set of KT150's for the amp as my guess is the sensitivity being in the mid 80's will need some juice!

Does anyone know what 48 Primaluna tube watts/amps is equivalent to in SS watts/amps? Or is it it irrelevant and that was a dumb question?

Can anyone compare the performance of these with equivalent models from the Shahinian line-up?

OH MY GOD NO...DON'T DO IT...too late. To answer your question, 48 Primaluna watts equals 49 regular watts...everybody knows this so yes, that was a dumb question! Actually, if I may be serious for a moment, watts are watts, and tubes (which I adore) seem louder as they simply supply a different (and more pleasant) harmonic content than SS amps will provide...an exception is the Pass SIT amp which I'm now an expert on since I read something about it somewhere recently. My expertise will wear off shortly as I don't retain info about things that I don't really care about, and wait...there it went.

Evan said they were just starting a run of the 2000 series and I should expect them in about a month so should  be 2 or maybe 3 more weeks. I asked what amps they used to voice their speakers with. He didn't exactly say but did mention that in SS,  NAD was good for a budget amp  Parasound or McIntosh, in tube amps he did mention Primaluna as a good choice with KT 88.
