•MicroWalsh Tall
•They perform very well in both music and film (2 channel only).
•Exceptional performance*: Boxless sound (they disappear), neutral, beautiful mid-range, very smooth and integrated through the frequency range, large sweet spot, very easy to place, can easily handle high dB levels.
•Weakness: Not quite as pinpoint imaging as I'm used to with dynamic designs. Veneer finish is nice, but not quite the same level as some others that I've seen.
•Other speakers considered: Meadowlark Kestrel, Swift, Kestrel 2. Dynaudio Audience 62, Vandersteen 1C, Proac Tablette and Studio 100, B&W 704 and 705, Magnepan 1.6, Paradigm Studio 20 and 60, Audio Physic Yara, psb Stratus Bronze, Totem Arro and Hawk.
•I'm using a McIntosh MA 6200 Integrated, Sony SACD/DVD player, Rega Planar 2 turntable with Kimber 4TC/ PBJ cables.

*Other pluses : customer service is the best that I've seen, lifetime upradeability and a handmade speaker delivered to my door from Brooklyn.
Hey Magnequest - I hear the new Ohm drivers are of better quality, and will last longer. I hope that's true, but if mine go, I'll let you know!
