Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I'm thinking of upgrading from my 2XOs to the current generation 2000 drivers mounted on my existing g cabinets (love the old pyramidal look, so I'm looking at the upgrade package). Before I pull the trigger and sink the money I to this, I'd love ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Thanks for the response Map.I recall reading that John Portis at Stereophile was a big Ohm fan and adopted an Electron Kinetics amp as his reference piece, in part because (if I remember correctly) of its high current and damping that matched well... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I have a question for the inveterate amp swappers out there. What effect, if any, does a higher damping factor have on Ohm Walsh performance? Rather than opt for massive power increases, could one get the same/similar (or different) improvements i... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
And yes, I agree with your comment about John S. He's what I'd call a real mensch. In dealing with John, it strikes me that Ohm is very much his avocation, as well as a vocation and business enterprise. Pretty cool, and quite rare in this day and ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Bondmanp--sorry to hear of the short! Any idea of the cause? Hope the repairs don't set you back too much--or too long. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Hello all,It's been a while since I last posted here. When I last did so, I was thinking of possible ways to improve the sound out of my original OW 2s. In the meantime, I got a great deal on a pristine set of OW 2XOs on EBay. Of course, UPS promp... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Marty,By that you mean that the soundstage and image extend to the right and left of the speakers, rather than remain between them, right? That's what I do not get with mine. I know that Ohms are not forward and the soundstage knocks out the back ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Thanks Mapman.Yep, 1st generation with stamped cans and controls on the bottom. Volume certainly not a problem. I'm driving these with a vintage Sansui amp (the Japanese version of the AU-819) with 90 wpc, so power and current are not a problem ei... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Since this appears to have become the de facto Ohm Walsh thread, I have a couple of questions about my Ohm Walsh 2s. I picked these up a couple of months ago and immediately loved the spacious omni soundstage and imaging. Still do. One big questio... 
NAD 314 blaring volume problem; poor 906 sound
Thanks. I already isolated the problem to the pre-amp section. I opened it up and nothing that can be seen looks loose, damaged, or fried--in fact, everything looks surprisingly pristine inside. I worked the pots (compressed air, not De-Ox-it), an...
