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

... and they've got less than 10 hours of time on them.

You made a decision to change speakers after hearing the Arros for less than 10 hours, and without allowing them to break in for at least 100 hours?

Tvad makes a good point. So, Rebbi, you have already paid for the Totems and their used-market price is not going to change in a few days or weeks. So, may as well break them in fully and then evaluate them. Instead of going by initial impressions, you could do a systematic in-depth comparison, especially as you already have both speakers there and no extra trouble or expenses are involved.

With only 10 hours on them, the bass drivers on the Arros have not even begun to break in. As bass drivers become more flexible with playing time, their response lowers and tonality becomes better defined.

You have not yet heard what these speakers are capable of doing.

i like totem arrows, but they really won't dramatically 'change' into something resembling the ohm.

Jaybo, whether the Arros will dramatically change to resemble the Micro Talls or not, you must agree that 10 hours on any speaker is insufficient time on which to base a judgment on their performance.
