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.

I have BVSC. I'll have to give it a fresh spin.

Replacing the old Carver pre-amp with the new Audio Research Sp-16 has really taken many CDs I've listened to recently to a higher and most musical level more in line with some of the very high end systems I have heard recently!

The sp-16 was a major improvement out of the box but seems to have opened up even further of late. The paperwork that came with it indicated it takes several hundred hours to open up fully. Wow!
Mapman,

Yes, do listen to BVSC again. Especially the second cut... You can really “see” the singers gathered around a single microphone... It's lovely.
Anyone heard Wolcott Audio Omnisphere's? Pretty good specs: 90db sensitivity, 6 ohm impedance (minimum 4.5 ohms), flat impedance curve, 30Hz bottom end.

Pair for sale now in the listings.
Never heard or heard of the Wolcotts.

Looks like another interesting omni design.
Good golly!....

There's certainly a sense of glee when you sit down with some music you haven't heard in awhile, plunk it on the 'table with your new equipment, and are blown away by what you hear.
So it was today when I came across a copy (unopened... how'd that happen??) of the “Nick Of Time” LP by Bonnie Raitt.
Cry On My Shoulder, a song I like a lot anyway and hadn't heard in years, sounded amazing, just amazing, through the Ohm's. It's not so much a matter of “this sounds just like live music“ (although Bonnie's voice did sound awfully good) but more like, ”ah, so THIS is what the engineer was getting at!“ Electronic keyboards floated delicately out IN FRONT of the speakers, with Bonnie centered and set back between the speakers. I was pretty mesmerized.
Okay, let me know when you start getting sick of these gushy posts, but I'm really loving these speakers. :-D
