Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
There seem to be 2 camps here; those that are interested in the technical side and those that aren't.I don't see why those that are on either side need to disparage the other. Why not just let the stories unfold and contribute when you have someth...

"A business must have the collective goals of their customers in mind. " And, their bottom line. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Peterr53,The speakers are looking good.I will try to visit soon so I can check them out in person.

Looks good Peter!I can't wait to see it in person. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Peter,Let me know when you are back in SoCal.Interetingly, my daughter is in Sweden now.She is vacationing at the Ice Hotel.

Peter, that is a lot of work!I hope it all turns out well.After all this effort, I will be interested to hear the result.Thanks for the photo links; that helps with the visualization.

peterr53, Thanks for working on my speakers.They sound a lot better now.There is no doubt that you have the most powerful subwoofers I have ever heard.The most illustrative test we did on my 2.2000s was monitoring the frequenct response in real ti...

Just to clear up the actual cost of the Ohm 2.2000 upgrade, I pulled out the invoice. The price for the upgrade by itself is $1,400 plus $60 shipping. The number I told Peter was $1,200 from memory. It turns out that I had a trade-in credit on ano...

Hi,Yes, Ohm sends out the speaker cans already assembled. I installed them as per the directions with the orientation already marked on the base plates. It wasn't possible to see inside the cans so I couldn't check the position of the tweeter as i...

An other alternative is to keep my current amp and add a powered subwoofer to unload the low frequencies (>80 Hz) on the Ohms. This might allow the 2.2000s operate on the current amp power while extending the bass range down into the mid 20 Hz ...

mapman & bondmanp,One option would be to buy a second Parasound 1500 (used) and run them bridged (mono). This would give 600+W/channel. First, I have to check my home wiring to make sure enough current is reaching the amp (doubly true with 2 a... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I went to visit peterr53 today and found out something interesting about my Ohm-Walsh 2.2000 speakers. They need more than the 200W/channel that I am currently using (Parasound 1500). When we hooked up the speakers to his 1,000 w/channel system, t...

Also, peterr53, if you would like to test the fall off of another set of Ohms, just let me know (I'm in SoCal). 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
peterr53, keep up the good work.Very interesting.I am seriously thinking about looking at what is under the cans of my 2.2000 upgrade that has issues. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
mapman, based on your speaker timeline, my 4XOs are of the series 2 variety. The Ohm website lists the manufacturing date range as late 1980s to early 1990s. If Ohm had made improvements up through the current series (which my 2.2000 are), they sh...
