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.

Learned something the other day. I have a pair of OHM 5000's driven by a 600 watt Bryston. Sometimes I noticed my amp would clip at mid volumes. I retightened my speaker connections and placed the spades farther apart by placing one end of spade directly thought binding post hole. My amp never clips at mid volumes now. I no I blew a fuse out on my amp a while ago when speaker coonetions got too close. The OHMs need a lot of current and watts to sound their best. John from OHM recommends using bare wire with no termination. I could see that making the most secure connection. Has anyone else had experiences with loose connections? Maybe I helped someone  make their speakers sound better. Mike
No room for bad connections ever.  That's for sure.  Especially with good high power setups.
I have a speaker hum that is really bad. After the usual disconnecting of the various components, I found it was coming from the TV.
This was a huge relief because the wife had been pointing her angry finger at my newly acquired amp and pre-amp as the source of the problem!

Any ideas out there on how to deal with this issue?
I will play around with the cables and power cable grounding, but I wonder what a permanent fix will look like.
I had similar hum when I first inserted Bel Canto C5i into my system to replace previous amplifier.   Turns out source was the cable line into the cable box I had connected as audio input.   Try disconnecting any coax cable signal wire input and see if it goes away.  Using this resolved the problem  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002KR2RM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s...
