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

Roger that, Mapman!  I have my 2000s on Sound Anchor craddle bases, tri-spiked into the shallow carpet-over-cement-floor in my basement Man Cave.  Bass is tight, well-defined, powerful, extended and bloat-free (I crossover the 2000s to my pair of Vandy 2Wq subs @80Hz).  Bases are required for stability.  That cement is solid, but not flat.  Basement man caves rock!!!

Well been doing a lot of reading and finally took the plunge and purchased a set of Ohm Walsh 2000s with cherry veneer. I am a long time Magnepan owner and currently they are replacing my Magnepan 3.6s. Need to down size some stuff with a baby on the way. 

So far the break in process is going well with about 20 hours on them thus far. I am fiddling with positioning and by and large really enjoy their sound. There are only a couple things I am not quite getting out of them vs the 3.6s. Vertical height happens but isn't quite as big and broad on a consistent basis as the Magnepans seems recording dependent. Also there are points where instruments like cymbals are clearly coming from the tweeter in the speaker lose that in air feeling. They are lack the finesse and air of the ribbons. Overall though an extremely musical speaker and they make me rethink what a cone speaker can do in terms of producing a sound stage vs big planars.

Any thoughts on placement to solve the couple of issues above?

Not sure what can be done about image height to make more like tall planers.  Dispersion pattern is much different.  Two different beasts in that regard.  

YOu can experiment with toe out perhaps in order to get more direct exposure from the tweeter for more air and such abovev7khz or so but it is a soft dome tweeter which seldom sounds like a ribbon.   Ribbons tend to have narrower dispersion patterns so not a good fit with a speaker like Ohm that goes for very wide pseudo omni sound. 

I have ohm 5series 3 with the 4 three way tone adjustments the uppermost of which boosts or cuts treble.  I have older ears and find the 3db boost possible with that of benefit sometimes but I can easily do without it.  Mileage will vary on that for each. 

Also I will say the tonality of the ohms is very dependent on the signal fed it.    I've done tweaks like wires and minor wall treatments to fine tune the sound.  Also had to switch amps twice since replacing my Maggie's in order to get things right.  The ohms can be like like Maggie's or quad Es on steroids in many ways but there are differences.  

Thanks for the response Mapman. The Ohms have a nice system feeding them: Mac Mini, PS Audio Perfectwave DAC MKII, Ayre K5-XE, and Mark Levinson No. 432 amplifier.

So far they are really good speakers minus the issues raised above. To my surprise they are much more musical compared to the Magnepans in my room. I find myself surprised at the ease of sound coming out of these things and love the ease at which they image vs the Magnepans. In my 13x12 room the Ohms copious amounts of bass. So far my ears give out before they do. I will get everything adjusted with Dirac once I get the basic placement of the speakers down.

My only other quibble with these speakers and it is non acoustic is that the bases of the speaker are finished rather poorly compared to the great cCherry veneer work. I expect a little more from a speaker costing nearly 3k.
