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.

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.

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.  
Map, I have always loved your 5000’s, they look fantastic, and I am sure likewise on the sound! 
Hey @frazeur1 thanks.  Always good to hear from you. I am very fortunate to have had so many hours of great listening with those and hope we all have many more.
