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.

I noticed a pair of 100S3s up for sale by Winegasman, who I don't think we have heard from in awhile.

Has another OHMer jumped ship?

Winegasman, are you out there? What's the latest news with you system-wise?

Hi mapman. Thanks for asking. I love these speakers, but a surprise impending divorce forces me generate cash right now. I'm also trying to sell Grado cart ai love. And I may have to sell the Yamaha M-85, which I'm trying to forestall. When all this is done and finances recover I'll be back in the Ohm Walsh customer base.

WG,

I the grand scale of things, your asking price is very favorable. There is no speaker I know of capable of more at anywhere near that price point. There are decent monitors, but these compete with fullranges and the OHMs play with the best IMHO.

The challenge with the OHM Walshes from a sellers perspective I think is that many see older OHM Walshes out there for under $1000 these days and are not aware of the differences in performance between old and new OHM Walshes. The cans and cabinets all tend to look similar, more so than most designs, so I think it is important to make sure prospective buyers know exactly what they are getting, a speaker that in most rooms competes with the best out there, and not a 30 year old less refined design.
