Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Thanks Map. That's very helpful.Any thoughts on the fit between the 2000s and the 3200 cu ft room size? Anyone else care to chime in? 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I'm thinking of upgrading from my 2XOs to the current generation 2000 drivers mounted on my existing g cabinets (love the old pyramidal look, so I'm looking at the upgrade package). Before I pull the trigger and sink the money I to this, I'd love ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Thanks for the response Map.I recall reading that John Portis at Stereophile was a big Ohm fan and adopted an Electron Kinetics amp as his reference piece, in part because (if I remember correctly) of its high current and damping that matched well... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I have a question for the inveterate amp swappers out there. What effect, if any, does a higher damping factor have on Ohm Walsh performance? Rather than opt for massive power increases, could one get the same/similar (or different) improvements i... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
And yes, I agree with your comment about John S. He's what I'd call a real mensch. In dealing with John, it strikes me that Ohm is very much his avocation, as well as a vocation and business enterprise. Pretty cool, and quite rare in this day and ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Bondmanp--sorry to hear of the short! Any idea of the cause? Hope the repairs don't set you back too much--or too long. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Hello all,It's been a while since I last posted here. When I last did so, I was thinking of possible ways to improve the sound out of my original OW 2s. In the meantime, I got a great deal on a pristine set of OW 2XOs on EBay. Of course, UPS promp... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Marty,By that you mean that the soundstage and image extend to the right and left of the speakers, rather than remain between them, right? That's what I do not get with mine. I know that Ohms are not forward and the soundstage knocks out the back ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Thanks Mapman.Yep, 1st generation with stamped cans and controls on the bottom. Volume certainly not a problem. I'm driving these with a vintage Sansui amp (the Japanese version of the AU-819) with 90 wpc, so power and current are not a problem ei... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Since this appears to have become the de facto Ohm Walsh thread, I have a couple of questions about my Ohm Walsh 2s. I picked these up a couple of months ago and immediately loved the spacious omni soundstage and imaging. Still do. One big questio... 
NAD 314 blaring volume problem; poor 906 sound
Thanks. I already isolated the problem to the pre-amp section. I opened it up and nothing that can be seen looks loose, damaged, or fried--in fact, everything looks surprisingly pristine inside. I worked the pots (compressed air, not De-Ox-it), an...
