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

Tvad makes a good point. So, Rebbi, you have already paid for the Totems and their used-market price is not going to change in a few days or weeks. So, may as well break them in fully and then evaluate them. Instead of going by initial impressions, you could do a systematic in-depth comparison, especially as you already have both speakers there and no extra trouble or expenses are involved.

i like totem arrows, but they really won't dramatically 'change' into something resembling the ohm.

Aktchi, Tvad,

I thoroughly understand your point, and it's certainly something that I thought about. Did I really give the arrow a fair shake?

Here's the thing: the Haro was kind of stressing me out. If I sat in exactly the right spot and had my head, within a few inches, in exactly the right spot, then I could begin to hear what they are capable of doing. But you know, although I used to listen to music that way when I first got into high-end audio back in the mid-19 80s (move the left speaker a quarter of an inch one way, tell in the right speaker 10° the other way...) I don't listen to music that way anymore. I just want to enjoy it. That doesn't mean that I have totally lost touch with my geek side: next week, I'm going to begin to build Bobble head Seduction phono pre-amp kit! And granted, I am sure that they would continue to improve over time.

But after playing with the Haro (even in 10 hours of listing, you can do quite a bit of futzing around) and even after realizing that tilting the speakers back a few degrees improved their sound, I hit my "life's too short for this" threshold.

I am married and have a small child. Furthermore, my listening room is right below my wife's home office. And I have a full-time job. The result of all of this is that my listening time
