Speakers to hang on to for LIFE


After 9 years with my Proac Response 3s, I recently decided to change speakers. As you can tell, I'm not an upgrade fever patient. I want something I can live with for years & I think the best advice I'm gonna get will be from those who have & are still living with their speakers for an extended period of time. Please tell me why too. Thanks.Bob.

I just got a pair of the Ohm walsh micro talls back in September. I wish I'd discovered these thirty years ago. The imaging, soundstage, and detail, not to mention bass are astouding. These speakers fill the whole room with sound, and I'm totally addicted and seduced by these babies. anyone shopping for speakers owes it to themselves to try the 120 day home trial. If you don't like them, you can return them for a full refund. The only way Ohm is getting my speakers back is if they pry them from my cold, dead fingers. They make me want to listen to my entire mujsic collection all over again.
Rbaker, welcome to the sound of ohm speakers. When I read your thread, I felt I had to respond. I too, just discovered the unique character of Ohm speakers. I feel they give you a sensation of being "bathed in sound". I worked for Acoustic Research in the 70's, and used their speakers, as well as listened to all the speakers that passed through their sound room (we got loaners from everyone). I got a pair of the Micro Talls last September and have never been this happy with a pair of speakers, but they continue to delight and amaze me. I just got to the end of my 120 day trial, and there's no way they're getting these back unless I upgrade. I suggest that you contact John Strobeen at ohmspeakers.com (718) 422-1111 and talk to him . He personaly answers the phones on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and will advise you on upgrades, ect. I'm so glad I took the chance and auditioned these speakers. I've listened to many speakers over the years, and the micro talls are bringing out details that I never heard in familiar recordings that I've listened to hundreds of times. It took me a while of moving them around until the sound "bloomed" from the speakers, and the soundstage obliterated the walls, but it was worth the effort. I still can't wipe the smile from my face every time I listen to them. Good luck with your ohm 2's and your AR amp. Sounds like a killer combination. Joe
