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

"Oh, and the sub based on the old F cabinet looks like it might be a beast!"

How can you tell? I wanted to see it but could not find a photo."

Coot, I briefly had a pair of F's. The bass out of those cabs was pretty startling. I can only imagine what they can do as a dedicated sub. Purely conjecture on my part, of course!

I asked John about them and he said maybe he could use my existing drivers and a 15" to do a custom pair. I am not thrilled with the prospect of shipping my 5000s 3,000 miles to him, however. I'm afraid it's gonna be awhile before I seriously take it up with him. It's just speculation for now, but it's nice to know it can be done.

Today is my first day looking into speakers as I am coming from headphones. I came across the MWT and seems like I'll like them and they're pretty much a bargain for the performance. My problem is, I have no clue where to start and what I need in order to drive these properly. I have no idea what sounds best with what; my knowledge is all on headphones. I'm about to purchase the Matrix Audio X-Sabre DAC but I'm not sure now that I want to get into speakers and rid myself of the Audeze LCD3 and HD800. Could anyone suggest a speaker set up, all components totalling $3000? Set up is going to be for a small/medium sized bedroom; originally I was intending to get bookshelf speakers but I'm not sure.

At 100 wpc, the $1,500 Wyred4Sound mini integrated would be great with the Ohm Walsh Micro Talls.

I was re-reading a detailed technical review with detailed bench measurements of the older Walsh 200 mkII Here.

The impedance measured mostly between 8 and 25 ohms for most of the frequency range, down to 40 hz or so where the port kicks in, at which point it dropped to below 4 OHMs. That with all the rest there seems to indicate the OHMs are not as tube amp unfriendly as many conventional designs, except in the very low end bass, where tube amp unfriendly low impedences are often common as designs attempt to become more full range without achieving mammoth sized proportions. This is consistent with those here who have observed that tube amp + OHMs + subwoofer is a very good combo. If you can take the port out of play, then the OHMs become quite tube amp friendly it would seem. At least in the case of 200 MkIIs. I have not seen similar charts for newer models, but I would be very surprised if much changed for the worse in this particular department over time.
