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

If they work it's a good deal.  If not the cabs look like they could likely be used for trade in value sent straight to Ohm, but keep track of shipping costs and check with Ohm to be sure.  The hoods are easy to redo with new fabric ( I redid my old Walsh 2s  once myself).   

Yeah, the listing implies they work with third party shippers, but if I were interested in pursuing this option outside of Charlotte, I'd call Goodwill first to confirm terms.

Given the Ohm website price of $1400 for parts...not including refinishing the cabinets...and then probably $500 of packing and shipping to and from Ohm.....it seems overall that a new pair of 2000s might be equally good...so maybe it comes down to aesthetics??

@snapsc: First, your tweeter question. Where the resister on the tweeter (there is no crossover in the literal sense) kicks in is not divulged by Ohm, and is a matter of some debate. On the old Ohm web site, there was a page that indicated the tweeter only handled 7kHz and up, but others have tried measuring the main drivers and found them rolling off above about 2-3kHz.

As for the quality of the tweeters, Guttenberg has a point. I would say they are adequate. They are not harsh, peak-y or otherwise flawed. Do they have that hard to describe sense of fine detail and filigree one hears on the best speakers? Generally not, although with some really god recordings, they can have that treble magic. I have noticed that the treble on 96/24 needle drops I make do sound subtly but clearly better - cleaner, more refined - than Red Book standard needle drops I make.

Do I wish the tweeter was more refined? Perhaps, although the level of treble refinement did improve when I recently switched my amp. I doubt this could be done without raising prices, though.

Second: If you go with a model not suggested for your room size, you may overdrive them, and possibly damage them. My room size meant I could go with either the 2000s or 3000s. I went with the 2000s, as I already had a good pair of subs (Vandersteen 2Wq), and wished to continue using them. In my room, this combo has worked exceedingly well. I get the huge, tight bass I crave, with the wonderful soundstage and timbre of the Ohms. If you can manage it, and if you’re as much of a bass freak as I am, consider both the appropriate-sized model and a pair of decent subwoofers. I doubt you will be disappointed. 10 years this fall since I got them, and I have no interest in upgrading, at all.

Steve's review is very fair and accurate.  They are a really fun speaker.

I have the 5000's.  I do wonder sometimes what an even "Better" tweeter would sound like. (could be upgraditis).  I also find they do sound even more focused and detailed when I have the "hat's/grills" off.  

I've asked Even at Ohm if they have ever looked at a snapring type system to clean up the look when the "hat's" are off.  He said yes, but not seriously.  I really would like to have a clean upper snap ring around the top of the can, and the base where they screw in.  Just for a cleaner look... with some cloth only in between would be awesome to clean them up more.

Had someone here recently to demo an amp I was selling, he ended up loving the Walsh speakers (had been kicking around Golden Ears or B+W) and said he will be demoing the Walsh speakers for sure when the time comes.  But he also asked to hear them with my Pass 250.8... he was floored.  Something about the combo works great.

Fun speakers, and very fair and accurate review by Steve.
