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

Mapman,

Re: your question about imaging. I'm not sure... I'm still getting used to the presentation and I'm still not certain that I have them placed optimally... I wish I had someone to help me with this!

My room is basically a 15 x 12 foot rectangle with an 8 foot ceiling. The floors are hardwood, but there are "puffy" shades on all the windows, and there a large day bed with soft linens and pillows in the listening position on the wall opposite the speakers.

The one oddity of the room is that there's a rectangular "appendage" to the left of the left speaker. The result is that the right speaker is three feet from the side wall to the right, but the left speaker is probably five feet from the left wall, which is in the little "side pocket" of the room.

Imaging, in terms of stage depth, is wonderful. Some recordings so far definitely "obliterate the back wall." I heard percussion instruments on Buena Vista Social Club today that sounded many feet back behind the rear wall. And on the second track, you definitely heard a group of "embodied" singers singing the harmonies of the chorus.

So I guess that imaging is quite solid... but I'm still not convinced that I've got the placement quite optimized.

How much power are you all using with your Ohms? I was thinking of looking for ~ 200 Watts for some headroom for my 100s but I'm not sure what brands or pieces to look at. Of course I'm open to less power but the idea was tempting :). If I could get it in a relatively small package or at least in one unit (like an integrated) that would be great.... Any ideas on what I should look for?

I am running the micros with a Unison Unico, which is an 80 watt solid state / tube hybrid integrated amp. it seems to drive them effortlessly.

Micros + Cyrus 8vs2 (70 watts, conservative)

100s with ~120w/ch Musical Fidelity A3CR.

It mostly doubles power into 4 and 2 ohms which helps deliver a balanced sound top to bottom with the Ohms at low to moderate volume.

It replaced a 360w/ch Carver m4.0t which did not at all nearly double into 4 and 2 ohms and produced a less balanced sound with less authority in the bass at low to moderate volumes. It went plenty loud though and sounded balanced at higher volumes but the low end was not as complete at lower volumes.
