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

Moonglum, yes it is indeed, some recordings like the one I was listening to from the Who sounded way to overblown, but let's face it, it is a fairly old recording too. Most of the time I find both the Ohm MWT's and my 3/3000's to be just right with image height overall.

Map, I too feel the same way, when I just want to sit back and totally relax, the Ohm's are the way I go. Sometimes though, it is very recording dependant and the mood. It is hard to take off the "analytical" hat sometimes.

Bond, I agree, John does know how to voice a speaker, no doubt. Speaking of messing with the drivers, I have a pair of original 3XO drivers and I have been tempted to do some playing myself, but in the end, I just let it be. Even the older original drivers are very good, in some ways maybe even better-dare I say that(ready for flame suit)?

By the way, for another interesting omni, check out the Decware ERR speaker. One currently available for sale here on the 'Gon. It is similar in appearance to the older Ohm cabinets, but the tweeter is a ribbon and uses Decware's own twist on the main radial driver. A passive radiator is in place in the bottom of the cabinet. I have really wanted to listen to this speaker, need to take a little trip to Peoria someday and check it out, very intriguing! Extremely nice cabinets/quality too. The guys at Decware are top-notch too. Just another alternative. Tim

Not to take away from the Ohm thread here, but I also wanted to note another speaker I have wondered about now for a couple of years-mainly the tweeter in particular, is the Ikonoklast 3, 5, 7 models. This tweeter reminds me so much of the tweeter used on one of the older Infinity speakers-can't recall the model right off. The Infinity tweeter I believe was a Walsh tweeter-or a variation of it anyway. Anyway, take a google and check it out. I had sent Warren a few e-mails not long ago about these. Very nice and informative. Tim

I'm now committed to buying a pair of MWTs. although the veneer looks very nice, John is willing to make a one off pair in a color, if i supply the paint. Anyone ever done an ohm in a solid color?

Any solvent based paint suggestions would be appreciated, looking to do a dark blue....

As John said very well, "can always paint em black if you get tired of the color"

Blue OHMs...sounds perfect for some Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Lynyrd Skynrd, Zeppelin, etc....
