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

Hi,

I'd love to hear the impressions of people who've actually spent some time with these speakers to share their sense of their plusses and minuses. Mapman here on Audiogon is a big fan, and has shared lots on them, but I'm wondering who else might be familiar with them.

Ok so far fiddle with toe in vs toe out. Prior I had them toed out about 1 inch. I then tried 1 inch toed in and that did some added rear ambient energy but 2 inch seems to enhanced that effect and made everything sound a bit bigger not just in the rear but the fronts. Definitely a duller upper range but after I fiddle with the iOS platforms I can run Dirac and it can compensate for the recessed highs. More incoming...

t8kc...A 'permanent fix', if left to the spouse, might be a pillow applied late one night. ;)  Or some sort of involuntary therapy....

You might try a common ground.  TV's aren't known for being all that 'clean' when it comes to being 'sanitary' in their audio.  I've some residual low level hum, but it's attached to a smaller system that compensates for the awful drivers that are installed into flat screens....

And sound bars?  Don't get me started...

avsjerry,
I don't think the "pillow" procedure will be applied unless she finds out how much I have spent on audio gear lately...just saying.
My temporary solution is to just unplug the TV RCA cable when I want to listen to music seriously.
I wish the fix was more elegant and convenient, but having limited room (I live in a small house) means only one stereo system.
The Ohms do provide nice sound for movies.

Sorry to not get back to the thread quicker on the changes with the updates. Things have been hectic, but I will say that the height is better the speakers speakers on the Subdudes. Bass is definitely different as it is far more dipole and airy and not as cone like of a sound.

I did get the new drivers for my speakers yesterday as one arrived dented. I took apart the left speaker and I will take pictures of the driver and the inside of the cabinet tonight for the sake of sharing knowledge of this speakers.

Sounds like the Subdudes are doing their thing.

The resulting sound is more ES or planar like in my case as well though I tend to think of it as more refined and articulate bass or absence of muddy obscuring bass.

Results are similar using similar function isolating stands with my conventional dynamic monitor speakers so the benefits of isolation when called for are not unique to OHMs.

Would like to see those internal pics.
