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

That review brings my back over a decade to early 2005 when i first broke in a pair of microtalls. Still using the same set of speakers. Always considered upgrading to larger models but haven’t had the space or the desire to box and send them from the west coast. Maybe just get new cans, idk still love these version one models.

Hey Mapman...

I rarely get queasy watching a video but that porn view of the system did me in lol

Hi Guys,
I have had my Ohm super sound cylinder for over 6 weeks now. I ended up purchasing a Nord One up class D amplifier to provide it with some more juice. The Arcam SR-250 receiver did an OK job but now I can tell the extra power helps tighten up the bass. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. Thanks to everyone that helped me with making my decision. As you guys know, these speakers can get pretty loud. I was very impressed at how loud they can get without getting distorted or sound compressed. As for the bass, I am more than happy with the amount of base I am getting. I gave up my 10" powered subwoofer and have no regrets at all.    

rodm-2001 - Glad to hear your experience mirrors those of myself and other Ohm owners.  Not really a surprise, though.  Just remember, every change you make upstream will make itself known when you listen through the Sound Cylinders.  And remember, your Ohms are still probably not fully broken in, although they are probably 2/3 to 3/4 of the way there.  It will get even better, I bet.

Well, knock me over with a feather. I have been running my 2000s with a pair of Vandersteen 2Wq subs and M5-HP crossovers for a few years now, and loving it all. But Monday night, my amp messed the bed. So, I had to disconnect the speakers and subs, and run the 2000s directly off the amps in my cheap Pioneer AVR (VSX-1120K), with no subs. Figuring I should skip any serious stereo music listening and stick to background music and films, I put on the EDM channel on FiOS while I checked my email. Wouldn’t you know it! While the bass was not as powerful as with the subs, some of the EDM has really deep synth bass, but the visceral low bass was all there with the 2000s being run full range. It was really clean and well defined, too. Really amazing for a speaker of this size and price, especially with mediocre source gear and compressed audio.  It was good enough to make me look up from my email checking a few times and turn up the volume. I may have to repair or replace my amp, but the Ohms definitely stay!
