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

@snapsc and @mapman

I know the US distributor for German Physiks and have heard 2 of their models in his showroom. I generally agree with mapman, but I preferred the highs on the GP speakers... A little sweeter. Also, they are true omnis with no rear attenuation. If I win the lottery, I might try to get a home audition. But that’s not likely.

Did some listening tonight. Tori Amos cover of Thank You (Led Zeppelin) was incredible. The left hand on the piano had such weight. Her voice was perfectly centered. And, no disrespect to Guttenberg, but I enjoyed pinpoint imaging on this and other tracks tonight. Loving my 2000s!

Yea Mr Guttenburg did not have time to get set up right or could have been listening for the wrong center location if not a solid center image. That’s an Ohm strength. Mine is rock solid center of wall, but not center between speakers. That’s another omni difference. Mono recordings never sounded better so I am able to enjoy any recording from any era: a music lover’s dream. Good mono recordings are anchored dead center but with ambience that actually still provides a lifelike sound stage but with players dead center.

On a related note, not to confuse things but my Ohm100s run off the Bel Canto c5i actually sound more like GP in the highs to me these days than my 5s. They both have same generation walsh drivers just different size. The difference is the integrated amp. I’ve run both of various amps and its the C5i digital integrated amp that does the trick. So all the gear upstream matters a lot and results can vary widely. You hear what you feed the Ohms more so than just the speaker itself.

Just to clarify in my L shaped room my Ohms are both to the right of center of the rear wall. Stereo imaging is wall to wall. For mono recordings the center image is left of the left speaker...yes you heard right the center image is to the left of both speakers not in in between the two speakers.

It’s another unique omni thing.

I ordered A pr. of Tall 2000 speakers today,Evan told me theres a 6-8 week wait,I live in Long Island so i'm just going to pick them up from the shop when they're ready. I'll be using A Proceed Amp2 with my trusty Hovland HP100. I was thinking about going with the 3000's but Evan suggested the 2000's and that I could always exchange them if I felt the need to. they're going in my Living Room system ,room size 14'X20',speakers will be on the short wall, dining room is off of the side of the living room, this is why I was thinking of going with the 3000's. So now the waiting game. I have a pr. of Medallion Cabinets with Fostex drivers that i'm currently using driven by Fi 2A3 Mono's. I have to finish reading this thread now. I'll post when I pick them up and first impressions. Any amp suggestions that may work better with the 2000's? 

I have my similar size (to 2000s) Ohms in a much larger area. Listening to them as I type. You should be fine. Can’t beat living close to the shop.
