Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?

No doubt. All I'm saying is that, compared to other speakers I've heard or had, the tonal shift is minimal. Not to mention imaging and soundstage, which completely collapse with most speakers I've heard as soon as I stand up or even move to scratch an arm or something. :)

Actually, the single best-sounding speaker I ever heard while audition was the Sunfire CRM-2.. The sound still haunts me. However, moving anywhere outside the axis of the drivers and everything seemed to collapse. The sound was good, but the magic was gone.

With the Ohm's, it's simply not the case. At least not to the extend that I've experienced with any other speaker.

Oh yeah- for what it's worth, I do seem to get a bit more 'air' when I toe them slightly out and have the tweeter cross further into the room.

Para,

I happened to buy a pair of CRMs the same week I bought my Ohm 100s - as well as a pair of Maggie SMGs. Ohms are omni, Maggies are dipolar, Sunfires are bipolar. I was trying to figure out whether a different (vs the front-firing speakers I had been using at that time) dispersion pattern might work better in my difficult new listening room.

IMHO, the Sunfires lagged the other two by a long, long measure. Could be the speaker, or the room or simply personal preference. But I'd take the Ohms over the CRMs even if I kept my head in a vice when listening.

BTW the CRMs are doing admirable duty (along with a small subwoofer) as external speakers on the digital piano in my living room.

Espresso- that's awesome! It's very exciting to read about all the folks buying Ohm's. I hope everyone posts every detail about their experiences with them.

Yeah... as the original poster in this thread, I have to say that I've gotten a kick out of all the folks who've been inspired to try Ohms as a result. Soon we'll have our own discussion board somewhere. :-)

You can also adjust the treble by adjusting the "toe-in" (I assume the MWTs are similar to my 100s in this respect). Be sure to experiment a bit before settling on final placement/orientation.

Agreed with Martykl on this one. Although the Ohms (both the MWT's and the 100's) are fairly forgiving with room placement, their tonal balance will be substantially affected by toe-in, especially in the upper frequencies, and by proximity to rear wall and corners, as far as bass is concerned. You'll also want to play with positioning to obtain the best imaging and soundstage. With the right source material, the Ohms are astonishing in that regard.
