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

Thanks so much Mapman, for the thoughtful, detailed response. It carries considerable weight with me that many Ohm owners on this thread are experienced audiophiles and have had experience with a number of other systems/speakers. I also appreciate the cordial, civil tone I’ve seen here. 

If you're  in the Sacramento area, these should be on your radar.  Pick up only.

While the wife and kiddo were out on Saturday, I indulged in some high-SPL listening of Graceland and other albums on vinyl.  My normal listening level is around 7-9 o'clock position on my Pioneer VSX-D1S (http://www.hifi-classic.net/review/pioneer-vsx-d1s-435.html
On Saturday I took it up to 12.  I  didn't notice the loudness at all until there was a squawking saxophone that  set me off, and I had to dial it back to 11 temporarily.  I  get emotional when I  listen now, so I sat in my listening chair with tears in my eyes for several hours.

Yes, my 4XO's like power.

Those original Walsh 2s from the 80s are a lot of speaker for the $ these days assuming the drivers are in good shape  (possible) but are not nearly as refined sounding top to bottom as the newer models. 

Also note that older ohm speakers can be traded in for discounts on new ones assuming the cabs can be refurbished (most can). They can also be upgraded so any old Ohms can have significant value still that way.
