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

Personally, I find it extremely difficult to dial in a subwoofer so that it sounds like a Walsh. I happen to own a Velodyne SMS-1 and have flattened out the response of the room fairly well after my wife gave me permission to move the sub, but can still always tell when the sound is coming through my Outlaw sub.

My question is, why go with a 5000 if it still requires a sub? I'd rather miss the lowest 5 or 6 Hz than listen to timing mismatches.

"My question is, why go with a 5000 if it still requires a sub?"

No doubt, all smaller speakers including Walshes can play better when amp and speaker work is offloaded to a powered sub.

5000 does not necessarily require a sub though. I feel no need for subs with my 5s, nor with my 100s even in the right sized rooms.

Adding powered subs always ups the ante in terms of output capacity in most any case. But there are ups and downs with any solution, including subs, along the lines commonly discussed.

Adding separate subs means that you are now the speaker designer responsible for the integration top to bottom. How well that all plays out will depend.

I'm about to pull the trigger on Hephaestus Harpocrates amps to feed my Ohm 5000s. Anyone heard this amp?

I have not.

Looks intriguing. Would like to hear. Would appear to be a worthy mate to a pair of larger OHMS.

Guidocorona here on Agon does a lot of work with Class D amps. Maybe email him and see if he has heard these.
