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

I have found that I had my room treated for Merlins, so I had damped the room a bit (to offset their "personailty")... I found as I removed some of the Echotunes/roomtunes/cornertunes devices, that live sound returned, that air returned, while still keeping that quad/stat cohesiveness to the huge stage... Also removing some of the roomtunes helped the 2c3d thing to "pop" into place. The only room treatments left, are those in the lower half of the rear wall corners, BELOW the Ohm canister - I found any room treatments above the canister to damp things down too much here.

Also, like others in this thread have mentioned, I have the speakers level, and level with each other. Makes a big difference here with the 2C3D thing also. Getting the canisters to fire at the same angle and height. All walls just melt, with my Ohm's 6-7 feet apart, firing straight out into room, 3' from side walls, pulled well out from rear walls (using the Cardas method for speaker placement), 11' to listening position (good sized room).

Like Ultimatezap found, just a huge stage. and I have found I cannot make them sound un-musical - and even when crazy loud on big symphonies or metal, you can still hear the person next to you.

"It's loud, but we can talk to each other without really raising our voices."

That's a very good omen!!!

Just noticed this thread hit 1700 posts! That is nearly 10% of all the posts in the entire speaker section, unreal.

Polarin. Nice stat! Go OHM!

Living with my OHM 5000's for 9 months Im continually amazed by them. Last month me and my girfriend put up 4 sound blankets, 4 48X24 sound panels. Closed off 2 entries to rooms with doors. Moved a piano, wood table and glass vases and lamps out. After doing this the sound smoothed out on some edgier recordings. But recordings that were well engineered to begin with sounded somewhat better. I had a bright room to begin with. 2 giant windows behind me. Me and my girlfriend look forward to each and every listening session. The 5000's through a huge soundstage and take control of the room with live listening levels. I had OHM I's conventional speakers for years and could not get used to a regular box speaker. The I's had 3 drivers on top and thru a large sound stage. Tried the much touted PSBs stratus golds but sold them and kept I's. Last year traded I's in for 5000's and couldnt be happier. They take a lot of power to sound best. 350 watt Bryston 4BSST was not quite enough power for my tastes. Got a Bryston 600 watt 14BSST and they really opened up dynamically. If the start of a song is really loud it can startle me even though I know its coming! The start of "Hey You" by BTU (record) or "Big Money" by Rush (CD) for examples. They are very quick. And like mapman says they show drum attacks really well that come after a softer passage. Example "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" by Elton John (record). My girlfriend likes the looks of them too.
