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 new to this forum and just wanted to say I've really enjoyed reading these posts. I've owned the MWTs for 5 years now and still love them. Rebbi, I pulled the trigger after reading the 6Moons review as well. Never been disappointed.

Cheers.
Rebbi .. when I decided to take a chance on the Ohms there was very little if any discussion like this thread. Good quality stuff here. Will be very helpful to others who are curious but hesitant.

I read about John's passing when I went back to revisit the 6Moons article for some amp/pre upgrade research. Very sad, he was still pretty young. And very well respected.
Would love to hear from Ohm owners .. should I get a new subwoofer? First off I'd like to say I'm very happy with my modest little system right now and have no NEED to change anything. That being said, out of curiosity I've been playing with my old sub (Velodyne CT-120) which I haven't used for music in a long time. Being in a tweeky mood I hooked it up using a Polk ICBM-1 (also left over from HT) and have it crossed at 60. So .. I like what I hear. Mostly, I hear the MWTs doing their magic and when the sub kicks in the sound has more depth and body. Not muddy, but what does one hear below 60?

So really my question is .. will a higher end sub give me significantly better bass below 60 or is this a diminishing returns scenario? The Velodyne is the only sub I've owned and I have no friends who own one so I feel somewhat clueless here.
Marty .. thanks, I appreciate your advice. This gives me an approach I hadn't considered. I clearly need to do some more reading.
Hey .. nice to see this thread is still alive. Being an "Ohm boy" (LOL) I do check/lurk occasionally. Saw this on the Audiophiliac blog:

Always nice to see John and his company get some press.
