Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Thanks for the kind words, engiedr1960. Funny - I feel the same way about my subs - I could never go back to not having them in my system. One of the requirements for a replacement speaker when I was shopping to upgrade from my Vandersteen 1Cs is ... 
Morrow SP7 Upgrade.
Well, they're in!  (Oh, my cable assembler was Mike B, not Matt).  So, my MA3s had the 10 day burn in, so ~240 hours, but they did sit unused from shipping, on Monday, until last night, so that could be a factor.  I immediately heard differences b... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
As regular poster and lurkers here know, I run my 2000s each their own Vandersteen 2Wq sub, with the Vandy crossovers (MHP-5) that cross over, first order, starting at 80Hz, with the same slope inverted going to the power amp.  Would I say that my... 
Morrow SP7 Upgrade.
Well, the MA3s arrived yesterday.  I am glad I did my homework and knew what to expect... otherwise I would have thought they were somewhat unsubstantial for the money spent, in terms of appearance and weight.  But, I guess that is the point... th... 
Blue sound Node 2 vs Lumin D1
Thanks, 996cupracer.  What more could I ask?  Maybe an RCA S/PDIF input for the Node's DAC.  But otherwise, it does look like a deal.  What did Bluesound do to the app that makes you like it so much more than before? 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
rodm_2001:  I don't have any experience with these amps, other than hearing them briefly at shows or stores, and not with Ohms.  The only Class D amp I have used with my 2000s was the Arion Audio RS-500.  I liked them a lot, but it was a loaner pa... 
Morrow SP7 Upgrade.
Thanks, Wolf.  My MA3s (with Eichmann copper RCAs and 10 day break-in) are in transit.  I should be able to get them inn my system over the weekend.  I am trying to manage expectations, but I am excited. 
Is anyone thinking about building Walsh drivers?
Cool.  Please keep us posted.  How about some pictures? 
Opinions on Nuprime vs D-sonic vs Red Dragon vs Class D Audio
The only Class D amps I ever tried in my own system are the Arion Audio RS-500s.  I thought they were really good, powerful and non-digital sounding.  I think they come with a home trial, and owner/designer Mike Kallelis is a great guy.

Initforthemusic:  Thanks for the update.  Since your last post, I took the plunge (the sale in May was too tempting) and ordered an MA-3 IC to replace the Monster Reference cable now connecting my DAC to my pre.  I ordered the Eichmann copper RCAs... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I guess I should put in my 2 cents, too! ;-)IMHO, I agree that current Ohm Walsh speakers are not true Walsh designs. That said, I am aware that true Walsh driver based speakers are available (German Physiks, Dale Harder, and a few others). But wi... 
Floorstanding towers
I was shopping in your price range about 8 years ago.  I ended up with Ohm Walsh 2000s ($2800/pr - Memorial Day sale is on now, I think).  My review is posted in the review section.  Just make sure your room size matches up with the recommended ro... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
If you look at my review, although I do run my 2000s each with their own sub (first order cross-over @80Hz), I did run them briefly full range. The bass extension and output was surprisingly deep, even and strong. I think you’ll be fine, especiall...

Have you tried contacting Pioneer?  If they don't have it, perhaps they can tell you if other setup mics will work.
