Ohm Walsh old vs. Microwalsh new

I've done searches, and I've found several relevant threads, including:

However, I'm trying to find direct comparisons between Microwalsh and the older models. Perhaps I've overlooked something in my search, but I haven't found a direct comparison.

One small comparison comes from the 6moons review of the MicroWalsh:

"20 years ago, the most musical speaker my budget could locate was the Ohm Walsh 4. By today's standards, it sounds dated and colored..."

Later the reviewer upgraded his Walsh 4s:

However, the upgrades he made cost $3000, quite out of my budget.

Mapman, thanks for the advice.

I ended up ordering the Microwalsh Talls. I've had them now for just over a week. Initial impressions are quite favorable -- they are quite natural sounding and easy to place. I'm trying not to listen too critically until they're broken in. Initially, the bass is pretty weak; I'm hoping this will be alleviated as they're broken in.

I'm using an Onkyo A-9555. It's listed as 85 Wpc at 8 Ohms, with dynamic power of 120 Wpc/8 Ohms and 200Wpc/4 Ohms. The damping factor is relatively low, listed at 25.

My room is 13'x13' with a 9' ceiling. I have the Micros about 2' out from the rear wall. So, based on what you say, it's probably just a matter of the speakers breaking in fully. I'll be certain to report back. Thanks again.

Things are starting to settle in. I had a bumping and long party last weekend which helped to do some solid breaking in. I still feel like the bass is a little light, but I think it's improving and still breaking in.
