| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? You guys must be much older than I am! LOL!My first "real" speakers were Epicure 10's that I bought in college. They had this funky, inverted dome tweeter... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Foster_9,Thanks for the very interesting report! I'm delighted to hear that you're having such a good experience with your new speakers.John told me a few months ago that EVENTUALLY (as in, within a year or so) driver upgrades to the new generatio... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Here's something interesting. Looks like Ohm is starting to sell some refurbs on eBay. Here's what looks like their first listing:http://cgi.ebay.com/Pair-of-Ohm-Super-Walsh-2-S3_W0QQitemZ260390714863QQcmdZViewItemQQptZSpeakers_Subwoofers?hash=ite... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? More from me in the "music that sounds amazing on the Ohms" category...Try Paul Simon's 2006 studio album, "Surprise." Simon collaborated with electronica master Brian Eno. Great music (it grew on me), great lyrics, as you'd expect from Simon. And... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Mapman,I'd love to have the chance to try my Ohm 100's with another amp. I'm running mine with a Unison Unico 80 w/ch integrated, hybrid (tubes in the preamp section). It's sounding increasingly sweet to me, but I have nothing to compare the Unico... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Aren't the Minis something like $25,000 a pair? Yikes! | |
| Speaker Recommendations for Soundstage and Imaging I would second Martykl and suggest you give the Ohm line a serious look. The pseudo-omni design of the CLS driver throws a huge, enveloping soundstage unique to omnis. And for $1700 plus shipping, you can pick up a pair of new Ohm Walsh 100 series... | |
| Ohm Walsh 2 v. 2XO Yeah... Mapman, where are you when we need you? ;-) | |
| Hi End Store In Austin Tx I'd second the first two posts. Whetstone carries a lot of UK gear: Naim, Rega, etc. Audio Systems has Martin Logan, Magnepan, Dali, Rega, Dynaudio and a bunch of other brands I can't remember right now. There are also a few "boutique" shops that ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Parasound and Zkzpb8,Thanks for the nice comments. The media center unit was a kit from Crate And Barrel, of all places. It's handsome and solid as a rock, but the openings in the back for cabling are too few and too small... the cable situation i... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? It's more of a satin finish... maybe a bit more gloss than your standard satin. No, no upcharge. Black is one of their standard finishes, and it was my wife's preferred color. :-) By the way, sorry for the quality of the photo... just a snap from ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Finally got a virtual system up for public viewing, if anybody's interested... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Marty,I'm kind of a broken record (no pun intended) about this one, but I really love the original soundtrack album of the film "Princess Mononoke" (on the Milan label). For a beautifully recorded orchestra doing really good film music, you can't ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Marty,I was talking to John at Ohm some time ago about this. He said that people tend to rave about the Ohm's soundstage presentation with two very different kinds of recordings.The first is the "audiophile purist" kind of record -- single mike, l... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Listened this morning to the vinyl of Paul Simon's "Rhythm Of The Saints." Track 2 is "Can't Run But." Sense of ambient space is amazing; marimbas fill the air. Wow! :-D |
