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.

Very interesting thread. It’s taken me some time to get through all of it. I’ve come to a couple of conclusions regarding these:
-they are nearly universally beloved by their owners 
-they are image champs 
-although not particularly sensitive to placement, they require some experimentation for optimal results
-they require fairly signification amperage to get the most out of them
-they are sufficiently resolving to display the differences in associated gear
-fit, finish and construction quality is sub par (though if this makes a difference, it is apparently not reflected in the sound quality and is offset by the outstanding customer service).
-the owner is accessible and very helpful
  I’ll be downsizing soon to a condo, and sold my home theater speakers. I’m
interested in acquiring a new set of speakers that will work well in the new environs. I was all set to go with a set of Tekton Electrons when I heard YouTube reviews from Steve Guttenberg and Z regarding these and have read and heard all I could about them. I believe the 2000’s would be comparable to the Electrons and they’re less expensive. I’d welcome any owner feedback, particularly those who are familiar with the Tekton house sound.


Thanks guys, for your thoughts. What I may do is audition both and send back the set that is least satisfactory. Should be an interesting experiment...
Thanks, Mapman, for your thoughts regarding the Tektons v the Ohms. Would you elaborate further on what you perceived as the differences between the two, aside from the greater efficiency of the Tektons?
Thanks so much Mapman, for the thoughtful, detailed response. It carries considerable weight with me that many Ohm owners on this thread are experienced audiophiles and have had experience with a number of other systems/speakers. I also appreciate the cordial, civil tone I’ve seen here.
