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

Just to set the record straight, in an earlier post I mentioned using an Audio Control C-101 to do an auto EQ of my room so the response was flat. The Audio Control C-101 was not the unit I used. It was a Behringer Ultracurve Pro DEQ2496 with a Behringer ECM8000 microphone.

Not that the specific unit makes any difference to this discussion, but I wanted to correct the record.

mapman, I agree! Ohm was way ahead of their time. I have been following them since the 70's as a teenager. They developed surround before it was even developed. I owned bose 901's too and there is no comparison. Having planars, electrostats and srslabs klayman signature now discontinued, what makes the ohm's unique is that it creates a combination of all those unique designs in one design. I look at loudspeakers like instruments. Ohm surround sound is the ultimate affordable high end home theater loudspeakers. I was using my 4xo as main, 2xo rears and pro 200 as center and it blends well with NAD or carver/sunfire amp/processor or receiver which I use and it's magic when you use DAKIOM feedback stablizers and sound processors like carver holography or srslabs,bbe or behringer processors. I haven't tried tubes yet. I use my tubes for my bookshelfs! I like the clean sound of tubes. Until I bought inexpensive tube amps, now I understand why many audiophiles spent $$ on tube amps. It's really worth it for the hobby. Until I heard planars and electrostats, I didn't know any other sound. Until I heard ohm's I didn't know true omni and combination electrostat/planar and dynamic all rolled into one! ohm inspired the more expensive german designs such as german physiks, duevel and mbl omni directional designs, especially german physiks which uses the walsh concepts. I'd like to hear those ultra high end designs.
ohm do not stay posted on ebay and audiogon for very long because every ohm fan will jump to buy or bid on them not like other speakers

Here's a review of Blue Circle's speaker that uses a Walsh driver. Interesting to read the reviewer's impressions of mid range resolution and soundstage. BC made a good decision to enlist Ohm...

Zk,

Thanks for that.

BC did a nice job putting a unique twist to the design of this speaker to help make their product standout!

Should help OHM get more exposure in teh high end audio world as well, though I'm not sure how much JS really cares about that. He probably knows most of his sales will come from the much larger portion of the music listening population that are closer to the mainstream.

I hope they sell well.

Yes, thanks for that link. Nice review!
