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

By the way, how have you folks found the fit and finish on the Ohms to be.

The fit and finish of the Ohm speakers I auditioned two years ago was fair at best.

Have fun auditioning! Take advantage of the 120 days - really let 'em break in.

Finish-wise, I think they look great. I think the black ones will look really nice, and they can hold their own in any decor. I just did a major renovation - custom cabinets... and my Ohms look great in the newly renovated space (mine are walnut).

If you have questions along the way, just let us know, and call John at Ohm!

Mine are both refurbished units from Ohm. Fit and finish are fine if not exceptional...probably not in the same "fine furniture" league as say Dynaudio or Quad.

Yeah... the fit and finish on the Totems is really tight as a drum... "furniture grade," as they say. I don't care that much so long as they're not flat out awful looking... just hoping they pass muster with my significant other. :-)

Rebbe, for what its worth my wife has very high standards in home furnishing and has never complained about any Ohms I've had over the years in our living or sun rooms.

I think size-wise, they will be more or less the same size as the Arros, ie very minimal footprint which works great for WAF.

The big decision for most is whether to keep the cover on or off.

For a number of years, I re-did the covers of my old Ohm 2s myself using nice loose weave fabric to replace older covers that were worn. The thing I liked about the custom fabric I used was that it was loosely woven and when the light shined through them, you could see the "cans" inside in an almost translucent fashion...very cool!

I think the new black ash finish will look very sharp!
