Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
By the way, for another interesting omni, check out the Decware ERR speaker. One currently available for sale here on the 'Gon. It is similar in appearance to the older Ohm cabinets, but the tweeter is a ribbon and uses Decware's own twist on the ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Moonglum, yes it is indeed, some recordings like the one I was listening to from the Who sounded way to overblown, but let's face it, it is a fairly old recording too. Most of the time I find both the Ohm MWT's and my 3/3000's to be just right wit... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Phaelon56, yes consider yourself very blessed on your LeGall rebuilds. I have two friends that have had his work done on a pair of F's and a pair of 3XO's, and they both have said the same thing, swear by his work and ability to make things right.... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I think the recording is a big factor in staging/imaging/height more than we care to admit. I do find it interesting how each recording in general is different in certain areas.Before I bought the Ohm MWT'S omni's, I had this idea that because of ... 
Ohm Walsh 2000 vs MMG vs Vandersteen 2ce Sig?
It has been awhile since I have trawled through some of the forums here, and was looking through this thread. Since the last time I posted on this matter, I have added a pair of Rel T-3 subs to my MMG's, which funny enough, brings the pricing righ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Hi guys, nice to see this thread still moving along. I think with the image height as others have said, is very recording dependant as is soundstaging(althought the very nature of the Ohm makes these things even better in my mind). I notice varyin... 
Ohm Walsh 5.5000 Upgrade
Mapman, forgot about this post and was just browsing and ran across this. Don't know if you ever found out your answer to the "LE" version of the 5 or not, but this was a limited number of the OW-5's(500 pairs or so) somewhere around 1987. There i... 
Using Anthem AVM30 With Turntable
If you like the sound of your current system with the AVM-30 and your Genelecs, why bother to go to much trouble, just add an outboard phono stage through one of the spare inputs you have and just enjoy it in 2-channel mode? I really enjoy the son... 
Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand + Bel Canto C5i vs..
Maybe, but I think this is one of the biggest issues in audio today. No raves equal a not so great or average product? Most of the ones that do rave about something end up being the most fickle and sell it on after a few months anyway. I find the ... 
Ohm Walsh 2000 vs MMG vs Vandersteen 2ce Sig?
I agree, and also the funds to have the dedicated room and the 1.7/3.7's to boot! Not to mention the amplification and the....Oh well. Some things never end do they? Tim 
Ohm Walsh 2000 vs MMG vs Vandersteen 2ce Sig?
Sthomas, I agree we should be comparing in the same price ranges, but the OP asked the question, and therefore some of us provided some input on the matter. While the three speakers are not priced in the same ballpark(well, Ohm 2000/Vandersteens a... 
Ohm Walsh 2000 vs MMG vs Vandersteen 2ce Sig?
Good response Map, I would tend to pretty much agree with most of your ratings. I would probably put the MMG/Ohm's about the same in regards to low volume listening. But maybe I am being too picky there. The interesting comparison is with my MWT o... 
Ohm Walsh 2000 vs MMG vs Vandersteen 2ce Sig?
Pmboyd, this might get a little wordy, I have lived with MMG's and 2000's, I won't comment on the Vandy as I haven't lived with it. I think some of it all depends on what you value in the presentation and what is more important for you. Also, if y... 
Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments.......
Fin, basically I haven't heard much of a difference-if there is one at all with spikes or other types of coupling with the Ohm's. The driver motion is basically in the vertical plane, so there isn't any cabinet movement that I can detect, and this... 
Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments.......
I have always liked the pyramid-style cabinets from the first time I auditioned a pair of OW-2's in the early 80's. They are very unique in this world of typical box type speakers. As far as my OW-3X0 cabinets, they are almost exactly the same vol...
