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.

Thanks Peterr53 and bondmanp!
I recently purchased an Arcam SR250 to serve the speakers. They are only rated at 90 watts per channel but from what the Arcam rep and John told me, those receivers are rated very conservatively and they should not have any problem driving the Ohms. they run in pure class A for the first 20 watts or so. 
Has anyone attempted to try room correction software like Dirac with Ohm speakers? I am guessing that omni-directional speakers won't work very well with room correction software since the whole idea of pin-point calibration of the speakers for the listening position goes against the core competency of omni-directional speakers.  
OHM or omnis are not immune to room acoustics. That affects how all speakers sound so room correction is always fair game if needed.

Peter, your project is looking good.  

Are those still the original 5000 main drivers?


rodm_2001 - While I do not apply room correction to my 2000s when listening to music in stereo, I do use a Pioneer AVR for film and TV viewing. This AVR has Pioneer’s MCACC room EQ program. It works quite well, and the results are pleasing with my Ohm center, Ohm MWT surrounds, Def Tech sub and Paradigm Atom rear surrounds. But I don’t have any desire to apply this room EQ to my stereo music signal chain.
Thanks guys, 
My setup is going to be 2-channel with no sub. 
I am going to play with Dirac and see what type of results I am going to get. As you guys have suggested, room correction really comes in handy when blending the sub and other channels together. I will certainly give it a shot and let you know my findings with just having a stereo configuration. In general, what is your guys' take on ohm speakers (stereo mode) without having a sub used in home theater? I am hoping that the 10" driver will produce enough bass that I would not want to consider adding a sub. I have never been too crazy about the surround channels and don't care for subs when it comes to music playback. 
If you look at my review, although I do run my 2000s each with their own sub (first order cross-over @80Hz), I did run them briefly full range. The bass extension and output was surprisingly deep, even and strong. I think you’ll be fine, especially since you are getting the larger 3000 driver.
