Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Snds, You're right. It's all about the presentation that differentiates the ohms from other good designs. . 
what is an ideal tube amp
Rogue would be another option i would consider. Probably hard to go bad with vac or arc also. Ramy, gotta say i really like your collection of gear! Building around gp and car speakers. Probably doesn't get much better than that!

OHM Walsh speakers have a lot of monitor-like sonic attributes except they are full range floor standers with a small footprint that do not require separate stands. The omni-directional design is inherently open sounding. Cost is more than competi...
