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

Hey Marty - I'm finally starting to get into Richard Thompson - he was on Elvis Costello's show a couple of weeks ago - he was amazing...

Thanks for the suggestions, Michael. My piano problems are more or less solved. It seems there was a push in the mids that repositioning the speakers and the acoustic treatments have reduced dramatically.

Last night I listened to Mozart's Requiem by José van Dam, Herbert von Karajan, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and Rudolf Scholz, a 1990 CD of a 1975 recording.

The female soloist was a little rough, with some glare that was limited to a narrow frequency range. I replayed the first part after listening all the way through and noticed a lot less glare than I remember from the first go around. Perhaps all the gear had warmed up a bit? Also, out of laziness, I neglected to throw a quilt over my 55" RPTV that sits between and behind the Ohms.

I am getting the feeling that I don't think I will be able to improve on the Ohm Walsh 2000s without dropping significantly more coin. Since spending more for the forseeable future is impossible, I am getting close to a decision to keep these. They are not perfect, but I think with better cables, the spiked bases I mentioned before, and a few more improvements to the room, they could be as close to perfect as possible for under about $10K.

Zkz,

If you're a guitar lovin' kind of guy, you're in for a treat!

Pardon me all, I'm going a bit OT here.

You're starting down an amazing road. RT is a stunning - and I mean STUNNING - guitar player. Both acoustic and, IMHO, especially electric. He's also a terrific lyricist and...let's say, very effective (if not particularly beautiful)... singer.

The 3 disc set "Watching The Dark" is a great overview of his career and the 2 disc live set "Two Letter Words" is a fine intro to RT's live fireworks. The latter might only be available through the Merchandise button on Beesweb.com, RT's site.

Enjoy.

Marty

Thanks for the RT suggestion, I'll definitely check it out!

Just making note of the fact that we are slowly but surely inching up toward 1000 posts in this thread. I think we need to throw some sort of virtual party online when that happens. Shame we can talk get together over somebody's house and listen to music -- that would be the best.
