Thank you Mapman for the comments. I'm usint the MWT's in the 2 channel rig and have a notion to go with an outboard processor with a blue ray player to take advantage to the high res possibilities, but I have a dedicated HT room with the KEF system. The MWT's sound so right, like live music and, as a musician, I am all over that concept. Maybe I should just keep the MWT's as is and look down the road at a more full range Ohm surround setup. By the way, I'm just outside of the, so called, nearfield sweet spot at about 8' listening distance with a L/R separation of about 6.5' due to room constraints. I'll play around more with toe in but, they sound pretty terrific face forward. Thanks for keeping the comments coming!
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.

Nolo, MWTs would make excellent surrounds I think. For surround sound, be sure to go over the options with JS. Though we don't talk about them much here, there are large/small/short/tall/wall mount Walsh models designed specifically for home theater use I believe. I believe OHM can also do various tweaks to the basic design for home theater use if desired. |
With reverence to the previous owner, I went ahead and purchased the late John Potis' pair of Ohm Walsh 4.5.2 in a trade/purchase arrangement. I will try the 4.5.2's as L/R in my HT set up with the KEF center and surrounds to get a base line opinion. Later on, I will move the MWT's into the surround position and drag my KEF R107's into my 2-channel rig and see what happens with full range in my living room. Lots of possibilities here with a lot of lugging of large full range speakers up and down stairs but, after all, why are we here if not to experiment with all the options that we are presented with. I hope to comment on the various stages of my search for sonic satisfaction and share my expeeriences with all of the other Ohm afficianados my impressions. It's the journey not necessarily the destination! Thanks for your help. Best... |
Here's something interesting. Looks like Ohm is starting to sell some refurbs on eBay. Here's what looks like their first listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/Pair-of-Ohm-Super-Walsh-2-S3_W0QQitemZ260390714863QQcmdZViewItemQQptZSpeakers_Subwoofers?hash=item3ca07efdef&_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116 |
