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

Great story.

Its cool how we remember what we heard years ago and how its still relevant 40 years later.

I've heard Goldenear speakers recently which is a Definitive spinoff line. Loved the AON monitors, larger Tritons, which resemble Definitive more, left more flat our cold than most anything I have heard in recent years. The setup may have had issues, not sure.

Well, I simply replaced the mains with the MWT and didn't so anything else, like rerun Audyssey. The bass the MWT puts out is crazy,especially when standing in the hallway leading to the rest of the house about 30 feet from the left speaker. Afterward, I did run Audyssey to see how it wanted to set it up, and it reported the MWT as being large, confirming what I had been hearing.

Anyway, since then, I have picked up a pair of Wyred.4 sound monoblocks to drive them with that are a few years old. They seem to be a very good pairing.

I changed my listening setup a bit (see my virtual system) by getting a superb rack at Timbernation. It's made of tiger maple and walnut, a good compliment to the Bubinga of the Ohm 5000's. Now I get visual as well as aural delight!

Since my Chinese preamp has no phono stage (BTW, Pacific Valve the importer is out of business) I upgraded to Liberty Audio's B2B-1. This phono stage is unbelievable and I have it written up in another post. Now I'm waiting for a Lyra Delos, as I accidentally bent the cantilever on my Audio Technica. Bent it back and aligned it, but something seems different about the sound.

No doubt that the 5000's are overkill, but they can assume a commanding presence. Most of the time I respect my neighbors, but every so often I crank them up.

Mrjkycvs as a proud owner of Ohm Walsh 3's I've no doubt about your love for the MWT's. BUT, as a former owner of Definitive Technology speakers I can't help but think you're embellishing your criticism of those speakers just a bit. I mean Def Tech towers + subs sound like a transistor radio from the 60's and unable to fill a 4500 cubic foot room? Something in your setup had to be amiss because one thing I know Def Tech's to be able to do is fill a room. Anyway I'm not trying to rain on your parade as you are obviously ecstatic with your Ohm purchase but I had to call a foul on your assessment of Def's...
