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

Yeah amps AND subs - anyone like to contribute the $$ to make this all happen?! 8-)

Oh my, this will take awhile.

Hi Mapman,
I have been many times to organ recitals where 32-ft pipes were in play. The impact of hearing such bass I find to be very satisfying - "awesome" in the true sense of the word. It is that completeness that I wish to attain. I figure 16Hz should do it.

By the way, there are organs with 64-ft (8Hz), even 128-ft pipes (4 Hz!) - but I don't wish to destroy my house even if such achievement were possible. 8-)
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.
Hi Mapman,
I listen almost exclusively to classical music - everything from 44.1, 88.2, 96, 176, 192 and a few DSD. I will say that a poorly recorded, compressed mess still sounds that way, but that may change when I get the Hephas or so I read in the reviews. :-)

The biggest difference I hear is greater dynamics and better rhythmic separation. in all resolutions. Just more musical and without fatigue.

As always, ymmv.
