Okay, I’ll admit it. I was delighted when the President of Ohm Acoustics Corporation, John Strohbeen, consented to send me his newly designed MicroWalsh Tall SE speakers for review. I have always held an interest in Ohm’s omni-directional speakers over the years, beginning in the mid 70’s, when I got to hear the original Ohm F’s at a friend’s apartment. As I recall, they were driven by …
