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

A third vote for toe in. When I originally set up the speakers, I had the inadvertantly angled the tweeters outward instead of inward. For a few uncomfortable moments, I had that bad sinking feeling. About 30 seconds later, I figured out the mistake. This is fundamental to the balance of the speaker, even small shifts can be quite audible. It makes all the difference in the world.

Good point also on the effect of placement relative to walls and corners on tonal balance and clarity Rebbi.

I have them setup per the "manual" with the tweeters oriented to the listener and the boxes more than 1/2 in front of the rack to the side of each speaker. I havent tried orienting them out. That could be interesting. The placement ahead of the rack definitely helped. Unfortunately, it is not the perfect room, if any is, and its not a dedicated audio room. However, the C2s I had setup before and the Spendor S3/5s setup behind the Walshs both have more highs. John did not and I understand that box speakers sound different.

I dont think walls are the issue here. They are 20 inches from the front wall and 4-5 feet from the side wall. The room is pretty bright as there are windows to the side and behind me nearly floor to ceiling. I also get more highs when I use the eq in line so I think its the nature of the drivers themselves. And, again my ears may be too attuned to the box sound and artificial highs that are not natural to music. I think that Rebbi originally wrote of getting a different set of tweeters installed in his MWTs, from the 100S3 units. I should have that already so it may simply be that the speakers are softer and my ears overly sensitive.

I know the C2s well. They are inherently brighter in tone than Walshes and most every other OHM speaker I have heard. People either like them for that or not.
