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.

Bondmap,

I have gone through various 5.1 and 7.1 configurations for the sides and rears, trying combinations of the Super 2's, the 100 S3 omnis, the mini-micro omni's, bipoles, dipoles, and three sets of direct radiators. For my money, there is no substitute for 7.1 if you want a full soundfield back there.

I saw that review. Driving them with a Fisher 500C tube receiver? And his jaw drops? Mind you, I have not heard any Ohm speaker but his experience runs a little counter to posts in this thread about the need for high current to really make them sing.

What to make of this?

Varied degrees of looseness among audiophile's jaws is a well established variable.
