The Ohm Acoustics MicroWalsh Short is the smallest model in Ohm’s Walsh line, designed as a full-range speaker for small to medium rooms and commonly used as left/right mains in 2-channel or home theater systems. Ohm describes it as a 6" x 6" column 21" tall that uses the smallest Walsh driver it has ever mass produced, while third-party coverage notes the Short version is a very compact floorstanding design and that the Walsh driver architecture provides wide dispersion and strong imaging. The speaker is sold factory direct and is presented by Ohm as handmade in the USA. Pricing found in Ohm’s system listing shows a MicroWalsh Short-based package at $3,900, while other Ohm MicroWalsh references show the Tall SE at $1,400/pair, so the $3,900 figure appears to apply to a bundled system rather than a standalone pair of MicroWalsh Shorts.

The Scintilla's impedance is 1Ω against the MicroWalsh Short's 4Ω, its crossover 3.0 kHz against 8.0 kHz, and its driver type Aluminum foil ribbon against Ohm Walsh/Coherent Line Source (CLS) inverted-cone. Both share sensitivity (85 dB).
The AR 9's sensitivity is 87 dB against the MicroWalsh Short's 85 dB, its crossover 2.0 kHz against 8.0 kHz, and its driver type Acoustic suspension against Ohm Walsh/Coherent Line Source (CLS) inverted-cone. Both share impedance (4Ω).
The AE109²'s impedance is 6Ω against the MicroWalsh Short's 4Ω, its sensitivity 89 dB against 85 dB, its crossover 2.8 kHz against 8.0 kHz, and its driver type Paper cone mid/bass drivers and soft dome tweeter against Ohm Walsh/Coherent Line Source (CLS) inverted-cone.
The Overture 2B's sensitivity is 91 dB against the MicroWalsh Short's 85 dB, its crossover 1.5 kHz against 8.0 kHz, and its driver type Dynamic against Ohm Walsh/Coherent Line Source (CLS) inverted-cone. Both share impedance (4Ω).
