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.

Look for titles on the Mapleshade Label.

My understanding is most if not all of these are produced using a simple two channel process that lends itself optimally to enabling near-point source omnidirectional designs like the Ohms or Morrisons in particular to produce a lifelike reproduction of the soundstage.

I have the title "Preachin the Blues" on this label and it works quite well.

I also have Lindsey Buckingham's "Out of the Cradle" CD and that also is quite good.
Jaybo,
Really? I never thought of that as being so well recorded, although I've only heard Nights In White Satin, etc., on the radio.
DOFP was conceived mainly to demonstrate sound quality of a new recording system at the time.

I didn't realize how good the sound really was either until I played both CD and vinyl copies to review recently.

Check my review here on Agon of DOFP and a couple other Moodies recordings mostly of lesser sound quality.
If you want to experience the non pareil imaging and soundstaging that the Walshs are capable of, you need only purchase and listen to any of the many excellent Mercury Living Presence reissue CDs. While I have Reference Recordings, RCA Living Stereo, Everest Ultra-anolog and Chesky CDs that sound excellent on the Walshs, the Mercurys are consistently in a class by themselves.
