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

Hi,

I'd love to hear the impressions of people who've actually spent some time with these speakers to share their sense of their plusses and minuses. Mapman here on Audiogon is a big fan, and has shared lots on them, but I'm wondering who else might be familiar with them.

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.

Which one is that in your picture, they look great. Living close to the shop is A plus for sure! No shipping worries, or waiting for the delivery manor having to take A day off to wait for them. Will post when I get them and early impressions for sure. Toeing them like you do concentrates the treble A little more to your listening seat right?

Those are 100 series 3 drivers (8", circa 2008, one version older design than current) in original refurbed Walsh 2 cabinets. I picked them up here on Agon.   I run  them off a Bel CAnto c5i 60w/ch digital integrated amp that can be seen in the cabinet to the right.

I’ll post a pic of my big Ohm F5’s. I bought those from Ohm going full in immediately after testing the waters with the 100s.

These are same generation 12" drivers with level adjustments on original Ohm F cabinets, similar to current Ohm 5000s.   I run them off 500 w/ch Bel Canto ref1000m amps and this combo is the bomb.
