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

I just got them last night!

I'm hoping to post my impressions this weekend. I can say this: Mapman may be understating his love for them.

Almost all of my expectations were exceeded during the half-hour I had to listen. Bass, treble extension, clarity, fit and finish are all above average so far.

More later, and thanks for asking!

Funny!

Parasound, you may be the first to make that assertion about me!

Honestly, though, I am not an easily satisfied person when it comes to the sound of my music.

I do try to keep a level head and be consistent in what I communicate to others on these things. I have been compared (jokingly?) to Mr. Spock on occasion over the years, so I do tend towards the reserved side I suppose.

Many hot chicks dig Spock though, so I never take that comparison negatively!

Many hot chicks dig Spock though...

There's some perfect comeback for that, Mapman, but for the life of me I can't think of what it is.... :-)

Parasound: glad you're loving them so far. Post more. I've still had very little time to listen to music, so I'll live vicariously through you for a bit. :-)

Hi all!

There seems to be a curse with these speakers- I've had almost no time to just listen to music!

But I am right now. 'Starship Trooper' off of Yessongs. I have never heard Chris Squier's bass sound so full and tactile before. I can hear the pick on the strings. Everything seems so balanced and present. I'm even gushing enought to write that they sound bright AND warm at the same time- depends on the instrument and recording situation, I guess.

I don't believe in break-in per se, and suspect that's more a function of becoming used to a particular speakers' crossover, coloration and distortion. I have absolutely no complaints about muffled treble or bass.

Speaking of bass, that's the thing that I find most unreal. I quit looking for a sub about 15 minutes after hook-up. No need in my room, at this time. If one falls in my lap for an insanely low price, I won't hesitate, but it's certainly not required at this point.

Best bass and sound seems to be about 1 foot off the rear wall. Pants don't flap, but I feel it in my chest.

Oh! And I'm not even using my main system. A humble Harmon Kardon AVR-20 is driving them. These just shouldn't sound this freaking good!

Yes, I can vouch that Yes does work well on OHMs!

Try the remastered version of "Drama" for some really awesome Squire bass!

The Yes album, Close to the Edge, and Fragile are very good too.
