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

yes, toe out with more direct tweeter exposure should help make the soundstage more centrally focused. small adjustments there can have a major effect.

Carja: My situation mirrors Mapman - we're even the same age! I love vinyl, own and still buy LPs, and spin them fairly often. But, the pleasure and ease of use from my Squeezebox Touch and server combo is fantastic. I only have about 20% of my CDs loaded onto the server, and even so, I usually reach for the Squeezebox remote when I want to listen to music. But I also have a DAC that I really enjoy listening to. Looking at your rig, I suspect that your vinyl playback surpasses your digital playbeck by a good margin. Unless you want to spend money on a good DAC, just relax and enjoy yout vinyl!

Kbuzz - If you read back through this thread, you'll see that I started with a pair of Ohm 2000s to replace my mains in my combo 2-channel/7.1 home theater. I then grabbed a pair of MWTs used on Audiogon to replace my surrounds, then ordered a center channel from Ohm. Only the subs and the back surrounds are not Ohms at this point. I am extremely pleased with the surround sound - Ohm speakers maintain their voicing uniformly throughout the Walsh series better than most other brands.

Bondmanp-thanks for the response. The n ceiling speakers were pre wired/installed when i bought the house. Since OHM does not make an in wall and wifey rejected the on wall ohms as ugly was trying to get suggestions as an in ceiling speaker with some timbre similarity to the ohms. The currently installed def techs do not.

Kbuzz - While it would be very difficult to find another brand that was a good match in timbre for the Ohms, if your AVR or pre-pro has a room EQ feature, you should be able to get a better match than without that feature. Especially helpful is an EQ that can be adjusted manually, and separately for each channel. My very inexpensive Pioneer AVR (which I use as a pre-pro and amp for the surround channels in my combo 2-channel/HT system) has MCACC, the Pioneer proprietary room EQ program that does a very good job, and can be tweaked manually without losing any of the other settings.
