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

no more bouncing than a conventional speaker. the sound stage is what ohm is famous for. the fact that they are balanced across the bandwidth, and convey weight, is the icing and the cherry on the cake.

" the ohm's only trick(which is no trick at all...just using the room intead of fighting it) is the 'sweet spot'"

That is a very good way of putting it.

"They don't have that Hi-Fi, super detailed sound with images floating in space - it's more tactile than that."

I've found adding a tube or two in the source or pre-amp section moves them towards this more so than SS.

For optimal balanced sound, top to bottom, tube power amps are not recommended however.

"fact that they ... convey weight"

For larger scale ensemble recordings that require this, as well as rock/pop, I think this is where you would hear the biggest difference between Ohms and other speaks in the same price range, including Totem.

They will hold their own with most anything else in their price range for less demanding recordings as well.

Well, guys,

I cannot believe I did this, but I actually ordered a pair of Micro Walsh Tall's today! :-D The description of these things by the people who have and love them is just too good to pass up.

The Arro's are still breaking in, and they're clearly very fine speakers, but I'm bugged by the fact that the sweet spot is so narrow in my listening room... it's just not relaxing to have such a narrow physical window for the best sound... it's actually a little stressful, which totally negates the point of having a good system. I just want to be able to relax and enjoy my music. Anyway, I'm still tweaking the position of the Arro's and trying to dial them in (yesterday I tilted them backward a few degrees to try to get the tweeter height aligned properly)...

I ought to have the Ohm's in a week or so... I'm getting them in black for the "WAF." ;-)

If the Ohm's float my boat, I'll just bite the bullet and put the Arro's up here on A'gon. I'm going to take a hit on resale value if that happens, but I'll chalk it up to a learning experience. And if I decide to stick with the Arros, I'll return the Ohm's.

Thanks to everybody for their help... I'll report back.
