Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?

I've recently heard a speaker that 'out-walshes' the Ohm Walsh. I've owned the Walsh 2s, 4s, and 5's (older and newer series). I have a speaker fanatic friend who picked up a pair of Artistic Audio Mobius speakers which use two spherical dome midrange drivers in a bi-polar configuration with two tweeters suspended in front of them. There are bass woofers at the base of the speakers to make them more full range. They are very cool (think modern art) looking and sound incredible! Only thing is they take a lot of power (in my opinion) to sound their best. At least a good quality 100wpc amp or something with a high current design (parasound would be a good choice that comes to mind). Artistic Audio went out of business I hear and the story is they have like 1000 pair of speakers in a wharehouse in Kansan City, waiting for the bankruptcy to clear before someone can sell them off or dispose of them. They went for about $2500 retail. I like them better than the Ohms. Better build and better sounding. Just my two cents....

He has them powered by one of the new Peachtree 220 ICE amps (220 wpc into 8 ohms, double into 4). I read the review on 6 moons as well and it is apparent he has preferences for one type of speaker but not this type of omni-speaker. I know some people that hate forward sounding speakers that push sound at you instead of letting it emanate from the speakers as most omni's and bipoles do. To each their own I guess but I know what I heard. On the other hand there is a favorable review of these speakers in Secrets of Home Theater/High Fidelity site. It's mostly a moot point anywhere as there aren't many of these out there and they are no longer made. I have no intrinsic interest in them as I prefer my Emerald Physics and am happy with them. Just saying if you ever get chance to check them out and you like the omni-type sound they are definitely worth a listen.
