Walsh Ohm 100 MKII; anybody owned these?

I understand that Ohm has recently begun shipping their Walsh speakers with their new Series 3 drivers. I am interested in trying out a pair of their Walsh 100 MKII's (pairing it with my Unison Research Unico integrated) and am wondering if anybody has any experience and impressions of these speakers, and what kind of amps they pair best with? I am interested to know what improvements the series 3 drivers bring to the Ohm's, I plan on speaking to John about it sometime this week.

I'm going to give a call over there too. I have a pair of MicroWalsh Talls, and I was wondering if the upgrades are only for the larger models.

I'm running mine with an old McIntosh MA6200 and the sound is pretty amazing. I'm thinking of experimenting with a Naim Nait 5i, just to see how a totally different type of amp will sound.

I've had the 100 Mk III's since early February and am very pleased. They take at least 100 hrs to break in but once that's over with... Deep base to 30hz - transparent mids & highs, the music is effortless, no compression on large orchestral works, and the imageing just has to be heard. I do reccomend you give them a try, probably the best speaker I've heard at at least twice the price. They do like power. I'm driving them with a HK 12, 60 wpc, and I could do with a bit more.
