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

FWIW, I recently removed some foam sound panels from behind my Ohms (they were at ear level). With carpeting and almost no windows in my cellar listening area, I think I might have overdone it with the sound absorbtion materials. If you look through this thread, you'll see where a bit of reflectivity isn't always a bad thing for omnis like the Ohms. I keep thinking that I ought to cover up my Plasma TV that sits behind and between my Ohms, but then again, they sound good right now, and I am afraid to guild the lilly. I wouldn't make any acoustic changes I couldn't remove easily. The foam panels were attached to the drywall with T-pins, and were easily removed. Just my $0.02.

Has anyone tried room EQ with omnis? If so, what were the results?

I mean using something like Audyssey, ARC, or MAAC, etc.

Bond, I agree with you, I tend to like a bit of "liveliness" versus more damped with my Ohm's. But like most things, it is all up to the listener's ears.

One thing you might try just for a quick and easy sanity check with regards to your TV screen in between your Ohm's, grab a light blanket or something similar and toss it over the screen, this can give you a quick feel as to how things might be affecting your staging/sound quality.

Rbf-Like most have commented on here, experimentation is the key to setup success. Hang in there and have patience, you will get there! Tim

Large flat panel TVs between speakers probably never helps but is not necessarily a major issue either I find, though I think it certainly can be depending on placement relative to tv, rear walls, and any other large obstructions that will tend to reflect sound, like the tall cabinets in my 2 channel a/v system. They serve a purpose so they stay but if this were my main system tuned to the max, they would have to go and the flat screen would probably have to go on the wall rather than on the table in between and behind the speakers.
