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.

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

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. https://photos.app.goo.gl/M4dhdodh4DSnKJF17 |
I had the chance recently to Demo the Walsh 5000's at another A-gon members home. Excellent speaker, really pretty amazing what it could do. The adjustments on the back made a real difference. Coherence was a real strength, as was the BASS and the soundstage. Lots of detail, but even cranked up to 11, they did not get harsh. Color me impressed. I don't care what is on the inside, for their retail price they absolutely are a killer speaker. Flat out FUN speaker. He had nice electronics, which no doubt helped. A big BAT amp/pre-amp. Streaming through an oppo DAC. |
