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

Rebbi- how far apart do you place them?

After experimenting and a surprise suggestion from my wife, I find theat I have them ridiculously close together at 5 feet between the tweeters.

But it does wonders for soundstage and imaging

Parasound,

Right now, I have the 100's about 33 inches off the rear wall, and from the inside edges of the plinths (not the most scientific measurement, I know) they're 6' 6" apart. They're sounding fantastic!

Listened this morning to the vinyl of Paul Simon's "Rhythm Of The Saints." Track 2 is "Can't Run But." Sense of ambient space is amazing; marimbas fill the air. Wow! :-D

Ya know, Rebbi, if I posted every amazing moment I've had with the Ohm's, we'd be at 1000 responses already. They are THAT good, aren't they?

Mine seem to be changing character a bit. The bass is filling-out nicely. On some recordings, the treble almost seems harsh, but then mellows out. I guess I've never had speakers good enough to experience break-in until now.

The biggest improvment is moving them in closer together, but as I've written before, they seem ridiculaously close at under 5 ft. But, I can't argue with my ears or the imaging. Sitting nearfield as far as I do, at 6', could be the reason why.

Listened to Cowboy Junkies 'Lay it Down' this weekend. Used the vocals for placement and imaging. As much fun as I can imagine having moving speakers 1/4" at a time.

-P

Actually, Rebbi's observation is consistent with one I find telling re: Ohms. Music featuring multiple percussionists just sounds different on these speakers. The track which really struck me was "With These Hands" by Alejandro Escovedo. Again, a wall of maraccas, congas, tom toms, etc. Don't know that it's "real" (strictly speaking), but it is convincing - and fun.

PS - Para, IIRC, Ohm's placement recommendation defines a square, so if you're sitting 6' away from the point midway between the speakers, you should expect the speakers to be app 6' from each other.
