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

I've had mine for 4 years - great speakers:

plus:
small footprint
sound stage
bass
midrange purity
sweet spot
customer service/upgradeability
easy to place
musical
non-fatiguing
affordable

minus:
not quite as pretty as some others
best to stay away from overly live rooms

Zkzpb8,

Helpful comments, thanks!

I've heard these speakers referred to several times as "non-fatiguing," and I wonder what that means. Do you feel that they have a "mellow" or "warm" coloration, or is it that they are well controlled and don't get harsh when played loud, or something else?

never harsh or 'in your face'...but not overly sweet...neutral

Jaybo,

I understand the huge sweet spot and the huge soundstage, but what about imaging, i.e., placing instruments in space? It's hard to imagine this given that sound is bouncing all over the room.

In my experience, the sound doesn't bounce around so much, as the room is "energized" by the sound that comes from the speakers (I think John Potis used that term). In other words, as Ohm used to advertise years ago, the back wall of the room just disappears.

Although the Ohms aren't hyper detailed - I heard, or rather saw, the placement of the instruments in an orchestra with the Ohms in my room. They don't have that Hi-Fi, super detailed sound with images floating in space - it's more tactile than that.

The non-fatiguing aspect - I don't think of the speakers as warm, but smooth. But not smooth in the sense that you're missing out on the performance, just natural, I guess... I think it's the fact that the the tweeter crosses over so high - the mid-range is not affected.
