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

Let it suffice to say that in this age of self-obsessed public blog-wrangling with personal issues and decisions, if you do this, expect to be subject to criticism.

It was the OP's gushing and OTT exclamations re the Ohms when he first heard them that I found amusing and instructive. The OP was hopefully disabused of the notion that different is better.

Strohbeen has the patience of saints, and is to be highly commended. Though I am normally strictly beholden to active speakers (ATCs etc.) due to far lower distortion than passives, I'm certainly curious to hear some Ohms, and will do so when possible though I'm leery of suboptimally flat FR over the audible range at the listening position. As a trained listener, I'll know in 15 minutes or less whether they're for me. Usually in the first couple of bars.

"I'm leery of suboptimally flat FR"

KRistian,

NEver heard the term "suboptimally flat FR" before.

What does it mean?

Also, I would not condemn someone for having a change of heart on these things over time. It happens all the time and does not necessarily mean that the process is flawed. You generally have to take some hits in the interest of learning. My hope would be merely to keep the costs associated with the discovery process to a minimum.

Kristian85 hit the mark, IMO. Perceptive and succinct.

Maybe with the observation, if I understand it correctly, that blogging openly can subject one to criticism, which is undeniable, but otherwise, I'm not sure what the mark is?

This thread...emphasizes perfectly how audiophiles are nearly unable to seperate better from different sound. Note the OP's initial OTT excitement over the MWTs, as followed by the rollercoaster ride that was the ensuing months of public anxious wrangling over what was really best, those or the Totems. After all the Ohm gushing, the OP finally decides he doesn't really like them.

Bullseye.
