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

I should have 4 new acoustic panels in next week. I just ordered a pair of GIK Acoustics Monster Bass Traps for the rear wall with the range limiter option and also ordered a pair of Polyfusors for the side wall. Looking forward to hearing and measuring the differences in my system. This is the first time I will have treated anything behind the corners of the room.

accurus - I am very anxious to hear what you think diffussion does for the Ohms.  I am just guessing, but it makes sense to me that diffusion would benefit the Ohms much more than absorbtion.  Absorbtion seems counterintuitive to an omni or quasi-omni speaker.  Can I ask how much the polyfusors set you back?  Unlike foam wedges, decent diffusion panels seem pretty pricey.

bondmanp - The polyfusors ran $270 + shipping for the pair. Down the road I am going to pick up 8 of the gridfusors to place near the ceiling and according to GIK that should pretty much do it for my room needs minus me doing some crazy stuff that the wife won't allow and frankly with the experimentation that I did place the speakers so close sounded bad.

I agree with you bondmanp that diffusion makes a lot of sense with the Ohms as they are relying on sound bounching around the room to help create their holographic imaging. In my own setup everything that I have purchased for the room has had some level of diffusion behind it minus the bass traps going behind my listening. All of the corner traps have difusion panels in them and the polyfusors obviously have difusion. I have tried removing the difusion panels and the room just goes dead. Things image like a microscope, but you sense of scale and image size is gone. 

Having an extended listening session with the Ohms this evening and I find myself again amazed how musical these speakers. Recordings I haven't listened to in years due to their poor sound on the Magnepans sound great in the Ohms. Certainly some albums sound better then others but all are enjoyable. That is a testament to a good loudspeaker and some I have not heard many speakers pull off regardless of price.

Accurus you're hearing similar results as I it seems.   Pretty scary.  😉

I often wonder if others just switched to Ohms and put in just half the effort you have to let them shine if that might just finally put an end to the elusive goal many seek which is to make all music sound enjoyable.
