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

Rebbi,

When you get the 100s you'll now owe us some reportbacks on the sound differences between MWTs and 100s.

We audio geeks are very demanding fellows!

Will do!

Hey guys, continued great thread. Rebbi, you are out of control! Just have John send you the 5-series and get it over with!
I came across another radial "walsh style" speaker in the Decware RL1.5, RL3.0 and now the new ERRs. The reviews sound almost exactly like the Ohms in terms of soundstaging and they certainly LOOK like the Ohms--only with better fit and finish. Interestingly, they are designed with super high efficiency in order to allow the use of low wattage single ended triode tube amps (like 2-10 watts). They would certainly do fine with a modestly powered SS amp like the ones mentioned above. I'm curious if anyone has heard these things. They seem to have an allure much like the Ohms. So what do you think, Rebbi....why don't you send for a pair and host the superbowl of radial speaker shootouts?

Because — taking your question seriously ;-) — I'm not made of money, as they say. Plus, I'm afraid that the 100's are about the largest speakers that my significant other will tolerate in our little guest room!

I mean, John's willingness to keep shipping stuff to a customer and say, “take your time and ship back what you don't want...” Where else are you going to get that kind of service? At least I know that if in the end I prefer the Micro's I can ship the 100's back and get the $700 difference returned from Ohm (and I'm only out the shipping).

But if any other brave soul with some money to burn wants to order the speaks you've mentioned, I'd love to learn more about them, too. :-)

Hmmm... Just looked at their website. Those Decware speakers are reasonably priced, but the audition period is only 30 days, and custom finishes are non-returnable.
