Rbaker, welcome to the sound of ohm speakers. When I read your thread, I felt I had to respond. I too, just discovered the unique character of Ohm speakers. I feel they give you a sensation of being "bathed in sound". I worked for Acoustic Research in the 70's, and used their speakers, as well as listened to all the speakers that passed through their sound room (we got loaners from everyone). I got a pair of the Micro Talls last September and have never been this happy with a pair of speakers, but they continue to delight and amaze me. I just got to the end of my 120 day trial, and there's no way they're getting these back unless I upgrade. I suggest that you contact John Strobeen at ohmspeakers.com (718) 422-1111 and talk to him . He personaly answers the phones on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and will advise you on upgrades, ect. I'm so glad I took the chance and auditioned these speakers. I've listened to many speakers over the years, and the micro talls are bringing out details that I never heard in familiar recordings that I've listened to hundreds of times. It took me a while of moving them around until the sound "bloomed" from the speakers, and the soundstage obliterated the walls, but it was worth the effort. I still can't wipe the smile from my face every time I listen to them. Good luck with your ohm 2's and your AR amp. Sounds like a killer combination. Joe
