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.

Coot,

The w4sound is one i considered and simi!ar to bc ref 1000m amps i ended up splurging for. A match made in heaven, especially with a tube preamp.

John often recommends NAD amps whicb i like as well.

I recommend 250w/ch min, high current, and damping factor of 40 or higher with the large ohms. My f5s that i settled on the Bel Cantos for use the similar size walsh 5 driver that came prior to the 5000.
Mapman,
Did you do a critical comparison between the BC's and the W4S? What was it that influenced your decision to pay the xtra?
Coot, just curious but have you tried your B&K on the 5000's yet? You might see how it goes before spending the money, you might be surprised. Or not......I do like the Bel Canto amps myself though. Enjoy the 5000's! Tim
Coot,

No, i did not compare.

BC does some power supply enhancements to the icepower unit used with the 1000m specifically. That was the main reason i splurged. But i have not had an opportunity to compare.
