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.

Thanks Mapman,
I'll try to contact him.

I'm on temporary hold tip I get my refund from Peachtree. I bought the Grand Integrated on sale but sent it back. The thought of combining was so tempting. Get rid of some wires and boxes - simplify, etc.

But. While bass was good, there was no realism. Pasty gray would be my description. Construction not in the big leagues either. Didn't take long to regret that decision. So back to separates it is.
Some interesting new content on the www.ohmspeakers.com website these days.

All shapes and sizes of Walshes, many seemingly new, for various applications and locations, with new pics of some. ALso JS's weekly post on various topics. Good stuff!
Appears not many folk left at this thread, but I'll throw this out there.

1. A pair of Hephaestus Harpoctrates amps on order.
2. Installed a Light Harmonic Lightspeed USB cable (yes, the $999 one) between my Mac Mini and Wyred-4-Sound Dac 2 DSDse. All I can say is worth every penny! Gorgeous life-like SQ.
Coot,

The USB cable difference is interesting.

What kind of USB cable did the new cable replace?

I have heard clains from knowledgeable sources that USB cables can make a big difference, but its not something that I really understand the how or why nor have I ever experimented with.

I recently added a somewhat vanilla USB connection from my laptop to mhdt Constantine DAC alongside existing Squeezebox feed to same dac via Toslink, but have not had a chance to listen and access in any detail yet.
The LH replaced a Mapleshade Clearlink II Plus (now in it's 3rd iteration). The thing about usb cables - there are a zillion of them out there, but the LH has had so many positive raves, I just had to try it. As you can tell, I am not disappointed. I do now agree with those who postulate that the USB cable is every bit as important component in a digital system as is the DAC itself.
