Magnepan vs Ohm/Walsh ?

Just curious... those of you that have tried both magneplanar speakers and the Ohm with the Walsh-type driver -- which did you prefer and why?

I have a lot of experience with planar speakers, but almost none with the Ohm, so please send your impressions. If you switched from one to the other, are you happy, or what do you miss?

Plato,

I can't comment intelligently on this because I've only spent the briefest time with some Maggies in a local dealer showroom. But for lots of information on the Ohm sound itself, have a look at the thread called, "Ohm Micro Walsh Talls: Who's Actually Heard 'Em?"

Plato,

With Ohm's 120 day in-home trial, it's easy to make a risk free assessment. Also, there's currently a lovely pair of rosewood finish Micro Walsh Tall's up for sale on Audiogon. You might check those out as well. They're made for a listening room your size, and they don't require tons of power, either, to sing.
