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


Hi,

I'd love to hear the impressions of people who've actually spent some time with these speakers to share their sense of their plusses and minuses. Mapman here on Audiogon is a big fan, and has shared lots on them, but I'm wondering who else might be familiar with them.

Martykl,

Thanks! And thanks for your Ohm vs. Maggies analysis in that other thread. Very interesting and thoughtful.
Biznus97,

Disclaimer: I have an oddly shaped room, and I'm still not convinced I've found optimum placement for best tonal balance. Given that...

Both speakers are 20 inches off the rear wall, measured from the back of each speaker. The right speaker is 16 inches off the side wall. The left speaker is four or five feet from the left wall -- that's by necessity, due to the room shape. My listening position is more or less centered between the speakers, about 10 or 11 feet back.

I'll add that a nice thing about the Ohms is that the radiation pattern does provide a wide "sweet sweep," meaning that your listening position is flexible. It's a real plus in rooms like mine, where there's one piece of furniture to sit on (a day bed) that's tucked into a "niche" in the room and can't really be moved.
Thanks Rebbi,

That is exactly where I ended up with mine (for the back wall). If anyone has the space, I strongly recommend using some acoustic treatments. I just finished getting the last pieces together and the difference combined with dialing in my placement was the best upgrade yet :)

I ended up going with GIK. Great guys, lots of options, and great prices too.
