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

3 months into ownership have just upgraded the amp to an ATI 1502 @150 wrms per channel fed by an SAE preamp with Parametric eq. Definittely an improvement from the MAC 5100 and the old SAE amp which sounded pretty good anyway. Straight thru the Ohms sound pretty darn good tho' I keep wanting more highs? When I listen with the eq in I can get that. Emailed John and he advised to use the eq if I liked it. Also offered to build me custom supertweeter to achieve the sound I like basing it off the equ settings. A bit frustrated as I am wondering if my 50+ ears are just off and dont get the sense of true music sound or if others have also felt the Ohms a little lacking on the top end? I thought I saw some of that referenced previouslyl but the success of this thread now means its hard to find stuff in it. Anyone else feel the Ohms need a little more highs? BTW Walsh 2 w 10023 drivers.

Joekapahulu,

Are the tweeters oriented towards your listening position? That will typically brighten up the highs. If you sit further back, you might need to toe the OHMS outward to point the tweets more towards your listening position.

What Mapman said. Toe in and toe out will definitely affect the forwardness of the Ohm Walsh high end. Also, experiment with distance from the back wall. Too much bass reinforcement from near wall/corner placement can muddy the highs and mids.

A third vote for toe in. When I originally set up the speakers, I had the inadvertantly angled the tweeters outward instead of inward. For a few uncomfortable moments, I had that bad sinking feeling. About 30 seconds later, I figured out the mistake. This is fundamental to the balance of the speaker, even small shifts can be quite audible. It makes all the difference in the world.

Good point also on the effect of placement relative to walls and corners on tonal balance and clarity Rebbi.
