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.

About Ohm center channels: I have Ohm 1000s and wanted to get a center channel. I called John Strohbeen during the sale. He advised, based on my space and distance from the center channel, that the Micro Walsh driver would be sufficient and voice matched with the 1000s (saving me a couple hundred compared to the 1000 driver). We then discussed my space, my mounting options, etc. He is presently building a box from scratch to meet my needs. Obviously, I haven't heard it yet, but based on the sound of my 1000s, and my experience doing business with Mr. Strohbeen, I expect it to be outstanding.

Also, FWIW, my amp is the Class D Audio SDS-470C Custom. Well reviewed, and to my untrained but willing and eager ears, sounds great. 300 WPC at 8 ohms, 600 WPC at 4 ohms, for $695. Should drive the new Walsh 2.2000s (purchased during the Columbus Day sale) quite nicely.
Happy to share. I kind of felt obliged to contribute my experience considering how many times I have used these forums (and this string in particular). And to spread the word about John Strohbeen's generosity with his time and efforts.

As far as comparisons go, I'm hoping to get my local shop interested in hearing the Class D Audio amp. 300 wpc at only 20 lbs, I can easily move it around. If I do, I will share my (profoundly non-expert) impressions. If you're near Portland, OR, let me know.
