Bondman I worked part time at Lafayette Radio in Lancaster Pa. It was located in a strip center outside of town (Two Guys was anchor store) and moved to Park City Center for a brief period. When it closed the location became Radio Shack store and I then worked there for a few years during and a bit shortly after college. I also worked PT at Tech Hifi during school in New Brunswick, NJ.
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.

But....but come on now, same driver smaller housing should not change anything but the bass....right? Cant imagine they changed everything in the X-over for the tweeter only. with that said I did previously remark on the hilarious $2 paper tweeter from 1970 and how bad it sounded. I did replace the tweeter with a modern design soft dome tweeter that doesn't break up at higher spl's. I still run some sweeps again for the hell of it should be interesting... Back again soon....🇸🇪 |
I don’t know. Just saying I would not assume two different models are equivalent sound wise unless known otherwise. The devil is always in the details. I’ve never heard anything but positive reviews of MicroWalsh talls. Don’t know what might be different with shorts or surrounds. Also John is known to customize for customers liberally as needed or desired. It often can be very hard to distinguish one OHM model from another. There are many variations out there. I bet he would at least consider using a custom tweeter type if one requested. The main thing he seems to care about is that the customers are satisfied. I’m sure he’d offer up his opinion of ups and downs with any particular variation, maybe even if not actually doing the work. |
Mapman you might be right, but all I can report on is what I see and how I feel about the product. I applaud any manufacturers that keep production in the USA. With that said there's many other American manufacturers that build locally, source locally that still make beautiful cabinetry, excellent drivers, and still stay in business. Next post measurements.......🇸🇪 |
Good evening Ladies and Gents.... It's good to be semi retired, plenty of leisure time allowing me to fiddle around with the speakers (just don't tell my wife). So....I got a mixed box of chocolates my friends, some great and some not to much. The first image is the stock Walsh driver all by it's lonesome with nothing but pink noise... http://s1248.photobucket.com/user/peterhorvath6233/media/image_zpsomfobhuk.jpeg.html?sort=4&o=8 Look at that! The graph shows a nose dive of epic proportions. Honestly not much to write home about and not much to show for beyond 2.25k. This did surprise me tremendously but the proof is in the pudding. So it must be a way to spunk it up a bit!! So I hook up the parametric EQ, I start to boost a bit at 1k with a gentle curve up to 10k... you can actually hear a bump in the treble nothing big but it's there. http://s1248.photobucket.com/user/peterhorvath6233/media/image_zpszqddvox5.jpeg.html?sort=4&o=9 I'm Swedish, but the American way is the next move....Crank up the EQ to the maximum 1k through 20k bam boom thank you brother, we have liftoff...kind of. Check it out! that's a pretty good bump, but would it sound better with music? I'll try that tomorrow. http://s1248.photobucket.com/user/peterhorvath6233/media/image_zpsrguwha7h.jpeg.html?sort=4&o=7 I'm going out for dinner so I'l post more later....Swedish Flag |
