Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Everybody,Well, although I'm not yet in a position to really offer a detailed impression of the 100s, I can definitely say that they sound great and that I'm enjoying the process of getting them set up. I'm finding that although they are not, "har... 
Office System -- Low Volume Speakers
Rbstehno,What Hitman_hifi said. With all due respect, I was driving my Arros with a Unison Unico hybrid integrated, with a Music Hall CD 25.2 for digital and a SOTA Sapphire for analog, etc., etc., and yes, they sounded pretty bright out of the bo... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Well, here we go! The first installment of a shoot-out, if you will, between the Ohm Micro Walsh Tall and the Ohm 100 S3 (Series 3) speakers. This first installment will focus largely upon physical differences.The 100's shipped in two very large b... 
Speakers for a 4m wide by 9 m high approx room
I'd second Dhwhitt's Totem Arro recommendation. They're going on audiogon for nearly half off retail, and at only 5" wide and 7" deep, they'll actually take up less floor space than many monitor-stand combinations! 
The Room, not us, determines our speaker choices
I recently picked up Jim Smith's "Get Better Sound" book, and he essentially says that the listening room is the most important "component" in the system. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Speakers (100s) arrived today but got shipped to my office instead of my home as I'd asked. After hours again, just like happened with the Micro's, except fortunately this time there happened to be someone around to sign for them so they're not ju... 
The best "imaging" speakers?
Martykl, Narrow baffle floorstanders with extreme cabinetry can also mimic this effect. Perfect description of the Totem Arros, I think. 
Vandersteen 2/3 vs. 3A MM de Capo vs. GMA Europa
Sapek,You're welcome! Also, I started a monster thread here called "Ohm Micro Walsh Talls: Who's Actually Heard 'Em?" that contains a ton of useful info on the Ohm line and speakers in general. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Yeah, I'm living proof! ;-) 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Barry,You planning to upgrade them to the latest drivers? 
Vandersteen 2/3 vs. 3A MM de Capo vs. GMA Europa
If I may toss in a wildcard here, you may want to consider Ohm 100's. Copious bass and HUGE sweet spot by design. $1700 brand new from Ohm with a 120 day home trial.

UPS says 100 S3's due to arrive on Thursday! :-) Film at 11! 
Office System -- Low Volume Speakers
Tabascocat,I've never spent any real time with the Mites. The Arros are rather bright out of the box, in my experience, and my pair didn't have that many hours on them when I sold them and kept the Ohms, but I'm told they settle down with time. 
how big a speaker can you put in an 11 x 11 room?
I have owned and auditioned both the Arro and the Ohm Micro Walsh Talls in a smallish room. Both are wonderful in their own ways, but I'm with Mapman on this one: the Ohms are ome of the great bargains of high-end audio and well worth a risk-free ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Looking forward to getting the 100's. I'm thinking I should have them in a little over a week. I'll report back after that.
