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

Mapman, everyone else... Thanks for the encouraging words. The 2000s do enough right that I want this work out. The added toe-in has smoothed out the mid-upper treble range considerably, although at the expense of a slightly less dimensional soundstage. I will continue to experiment with placement.

My speaker cables are Kimber 4TC - decent budget cables, but I'm sure not the last word in speaker cables. I will look into the DNM option, but as with the speaker bases and matching center speaker, financial constraints will put this purchase on hold. On top of that, I just dropped some coin on a locally well-liked modded DAC. I wasn't ready to upgrade my CDP, but this was an opportunity to pick it up used at a substantial savings.

Hmm, I've found that more direct exposure to the directional supertweeter brightens things up if needed but also collapses the soundstage width at least somewhat. Toe-in usually means less direct exposure and a bigger/wider soundstage in my case. Room acoustics have an impact on soundstage as well, so keep on tweaking until it sounds just right....

Amplifier Update:

Well, the Bel Canto S300 arrived last week, and it has been sitting on top of my component cabinet waiting for the Manley Shrimp to arrive. The Shrimp arrived last Friday, and when I open the box, it turned out that the volume knob had detached from the unit. Federal Express must've given it a pretty good whack somewhere in transit. Anyway, the seller is being extremely helpful and has offered to pay for a trip to our local stereo repair shop to reattach the volume knob and also make sure that no undetected, internal damage took place along the way. Anyway, hopefully, I will have the system up and running before the end of the week and I will report back...

Huh. I just got offered a vintage pair of Ohm F's, free of charge. For reasons of space, and the fact that as a military spouse I move very couple of years, I need to think about this before I take them.

I'll start an entirely new thread, and hopefully some of you Ohm-philes will assist me as I figure out what to do with them.

Best regards-

Parasound, if you can't take them, I sure would take them and fix them up! They are classics, and getting more difficult to find. They are pretty big but they sure would be a lot of fun though! Enjoy! Tim
