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

I heard quite a lot of good things about the Ohm speakers. But I wonder why none of the pro reviewers in the real world uses omnidirectional speakers as their reference speakers.

Omni's are a different beast with a totally different presentation. Would not make any sense to use them as a reference to compare traditional designs against. You can compare and contrast but its essentially apples and oranges.

Nevertheless, I have seen it done on occasion.

The late John Potis was an OHM speaker fan for many years, reviewed them and used them for comparison to other products he reviewed.

Stph,

There aren't that many omnis out there. As to the best known brands, here's one thought:

The big Ohms don't cost enough. The big MBL costs too much.

Just about every reviewer seems to own a pair with a price tag somewhere in between.

Omnis also stretch the purist notion of "accuracy" since studio and mastering monitors aren't omnidirectional. They're not often dipole planars either, but people seem somehow to have less issue with that delta.

Does anyone have any info on the ohm center channel. Im thinking about some micro walsh talls for ht duty b/c the small size helps WAF. Was wondering if the ohm center is also on the smaller side?

Thanks

With recent mentions of Miller Sound and John Potis, I happened to come across this which I thought a very fun read:
