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


Hi,

I'd love to hear the impressions of people who've actually spent some time with these speakers to share their sense of their plusses and minuses. Mapman here on Audiogon is a big fan, and has shared lots on them, but I'm wondering who else might be familiar with them.

right now I'm listening to Deep Purple 'Made in Japan' I am definitely drawn to live music with the Ohm's.

I had an issue with imaging last night while watching TV. Dialogue was coming from both speakers rather than placed in the center.

Took measurements a while ago, placed them in an equilateral triangle from our listening position (about 6') and wala!- dialogue in the center.

Best bass is still about 6" off the wall, but then soundstage collapses a bit because they are behind the TV and stand. Hence, a sub could be in the future, but still not a necessity.

More later.

Finally got some listening time in this morning!

The vinyl of Bonnie Raitt's "Nick Of Time" sounds glorious on the Ohm 100's! The title track, as well as "Cry On My Shoulder," are really a treat.
Sorry all. Someone stole my phone number (I'm serious), and I have no internet at home until we get it resolved.

All I had time to do this long weekend is watch a movie. they're not kidding on the Ohm site when they state that a sub is needed for movies. Even my wife commented on it (she's getting spoiled, and notices when something doesn't sound right)

Musically, they exceed all expectations. Surprisingly, in the bass. If bass is within their range, it is satisfying and substantive. Below their cutoff frequency, and bass is non-existent.
For what it's worth, here's my latest update.

Right now, I'm just listening to music more than I'm 'listening' to the Ohm's. I simply enjoy listening more than I have in years, and the speakers seem to stay out of the way. I don't know a better way to put it.

In comparison, the DefTechs (BP2006) that these replaced seemed to always get in the way of enjoying things musically. I was always aware of them, and never entirely happy.

Next phase for me is hooing-up my parasound equipment and hearing what these sound like with 220 watts and high current. After that, a sub for movies.
