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

"Besides size how do the Ohm Walsh 2000 and 3000 series differ?"

Size of the speaker/enclosure, size of the Walsh driver, and size of the room that the speaker is capable of producing full range sound in accordingly.

Larger rooms generally require larger speakers to achieve similar good results, especially in the lowest frequency range. All Walsh models in the line are designed to sound equally good in rooms of various sizes. No need to buy larger more expensive models if a smaller one fits the bill. That's a fairly unique aspect of the OHM Walsh line.

Mapman is spot-on. I do own a pair of MWTs, the previous version to the current one, and the sonics are quite similar to my 2000s. My Walsh center channel speaker is perfect match to my 2000s.

thanks

I thought that I had read somewhere that the driver materials or something was different between the 1000/2000 series and the 3000/4000 series.

Just curious, it would not persaude me from buying one over the other.

In fact I have two 3000s and a center channel in Sapele on order. Talking with John I didn't think to ask and I didn't want to bother him with a call back (I had talked with him several times as it was and a couple of emails too).

Thanks for all the info in this thread. It was very useful

That's possible but do not know. John Strohbeen would.

I do recall reading Walsh drivers in latest X000 series are of different materials than in past, I think.

I like things squared up as much as possible, so when I first installed my 5000s, I set them facing straight forwards. I have been happy with the sound, but being an audiophile ("It's good but maybe it can be better."), the other day I was adjusting them to angle outwards so the label points towards the seating more.

My wife wanted to know why. If they are omnidirectional, what difference should it make? I truly did not have a good answer other than because there's a sticker - that's why. I knew my answer didn't satisfy either one of us, so what should I have said?
