Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Good evening everyone....Should be in Sweden, but decided to wait a few weeks as my dad is out of the hospital and doing a little better.It's always great to see Tate, and we got some time to chat and listen tosome great music. As for the 4/5000's...

Had VR4's and loved them... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Thank you Frazuer1...Trip got delayed a few days as I forgot that my Swedish passport was only good for five years. On Tuesday morning I will know if I can get a temporary passport in a few days.Had the pleasure seeing Tate again, I have done some... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Exactly what they did for me, the only difference was the model of speaker.still nowhere close to being OK, lots of cutting corners for a $5000 speaker.I still enjoyed them for quite a long time and looking forward to re-building them to a new lev... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Accurus thank you for calling a spade a spade...After seeing a lot of cracked open cans, I do agree on the sentiment thatif let's say Paradigm or pSB would have such sub par build qualitythey would be out of business or at least laughed out of the... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I'm up early as I'm itching to demolish the inside of my 4/5000, buuuuuuut I have to seemy Dr. for a torn shoulder ( something ) this morning that I got when I was rear ended a few months back.If they really wanted to figure out a way to rotate th... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
With those kind of answers for issues,  you do have to question who is running the shop on a day to day basis. Much can an should be done when you charge $1200 for an upgrade. I would include a newbass port tube, Polly fill and maybe some cabinet ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Hey....Did you look inside the cabinet? As far as I know (but Tate can tell you) he got all the parts from Ohmwith the markings for direction of tweeter etc.what I did is totally different, and if it would be my own speakers I would have gone furt... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
So after an afternoon of working on the 2/2000's I found a few reasons to cheer. I took em apart as one of the paper tubes were loose which set up some strange frequency issues/ chuffing which sucks. After looking at the sparse wadding, loose pape... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Hi enginedr1960...(And it looks like the tread is getting some action).The idea is to keep the cabinets dimension on the outside the same,but the inside will be remotely nothing like Mr. Walsh had originally designed. So basically what I'm making ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
It's funny that you gave some technical help as I was sitting and looking for ceramic ball bearings for part of my build (thank you McMaster). I also have looked in to this paper epoxy countertop material that's incredibly dense and easy to machin... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
After hours of listening to the 2/2000 I figured something was wrongwith the bass and I needed to investigate further. The first thing was a monstrous air leak at the Left speaker mounting plate. This was fixed with a simple liberal helping of hig... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Evening gents or ladies....Finally got home from the metal shop and made some changes to the 2/2000. Found them to heavy in the bass as they were sitting about an inch or so from the carpet...yikes.Found  some footers lifting them up another 3/4" ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Morning guys...Subs (2) are a must, no if's and but's about it, but I have to say that 2/2000are hard to mesh with the subs properly. I will try to play with phase and a lowerx-over to see if that helps. Bondmanp is absolutely right about getting ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Hey Tate.....Its almost 1:30 and I'm up, I played around just for fun with the 2/2000's and the first reaction was holy shit these are very hard to drive.....As I have a numerical volume controland I went waaaaaaaaay further then any speaker I own...
