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.

I am using an older set of Kimber 4PR. I really cannot compare these to anything, since I had them before I got my Walsh 2000s, but I can't identify any problems with the Kimber. I would like to upgrade at some point, but financial considerations have put this, and any other upgrades, on hold.
The easy classical pick for me is The Nutcracker on MLP. Its included in teh first MLP box set from a couple years back as well.
D-sonic M3-1500 my first impression.

Out of the box, I am pleasantly surprised at what I am hearing. Be advised, I have nothing to compare them to but my old B&K EX442 and it is no longer connected so no AB. I was concerned about loosing mid and upper range sweetness, but am no longer worried about that. What I have gained - and almost goes without saying - is a substantial bottom end and generally fuller sound. I notice no high range digital edginess or screech. I should mention here that I am soon to hit 73, so take that with a little of salt I suppose. As to my background, I am a recovering music teacher and studied and have heard all instruments play live singly and in orchestras and bands.

Music I listened to was orchestra, solo men and women's voice, choral, string quartet and other chamber groups, brass bands, and finished off with St-Saens' Organ Symphony - Ormandy, Philadelphia w/Michael Murray - Still the best version to my ears. It was an excellent finish. I will say, that I feel Ohms are finally living up to my expectations in the bass department. Some of you have said more power might obviate any desire to add subs. I'm in full agreement with that assessment and I appreciate your suggestions!
