Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?

Hi, I'd love to hear the impressions of people who've actually spent some time with these speakers to share their sense of their plusses and minuses. Mapman here on Audiogon is a big fan, and has shared lots on them, but I'm wondering who else might be familiar with them. Rebbi  (System | Threads | Answers | This Thread) 10-03-08

I can also say that all the 100 s3 and larger drivers love lots of power and current, the more the merrier. I had them on a Carver 360w/ch amp prior and neither 100s or larger 5 drivers ever winced being driven to very high SPLs. I've also ran the 100s to great effect and without issue using an 80W/ch Tandberg 2080. This was not enough for the larger 5's though IMO in that the dynamics suffered, though they were still perhaps undergoing break-in at the time. Switching to the Audio Research sp16 tube pre-amp recently also resulted in a major improvement in overall dynamics, both large scale and micro. The improvement in microdynamics and transients in particular was much greater than any I noticed with various amps. Others report and I tend to believe that in general the more power and current you throw at the Ohms, the better the dynamics overall become.
