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

I still don't get the impedance thing, but if I go with these, I'll call Rogue- they are always really helpful.
Yeah, I've read that they have a wide (or "big", or something) soundstage, so I always thought that meant I could spend less time worrying about the sweetspot. But, I don't have the patience for a million tweaks- I'll do some basic moving-things-around, but not much else. So, yes, reading about the placement tweaks had me a bit nervous.
I need to sell my Taylo's before I can buy anything, though.

The soundstage will generally be big regardless of placement as long as they are not too close to each other. Imaging focus and detail and bass levels at a variety of listening locations are the things that can reap greater rewards with proper placement. You will generally want to determine the best placement initially from the typical "sweet spot". Once that is done, the resulting soundstage, imaging and coherency should remain in play from most any location.

More than any other speaker I have heard or owned, the Micro Walsh Talls have been a joy and a pleasure to work with. They sound great almost anywhwere and everywhere, and at the same time respond to optimal placement with a sonic reward I didn't expect.

I have mine about 1 ft from the rear wall and 5ft 6 inches apart for casual listening and movies. I move them out about 3 ft for 'power listening.

The most interesting thing I've done so far is to move them all the way in the middle of the room, while friends sat around them in a circle. Everyone was blown away by what they heard at the sides and at the rear of the speakers.

That's cool! Gotta try that sometime.

I ran my original Walsh 2s outside on a farmhouse porch fully cranked once years ago for an outdoor college party (off an 80w/ch Tandberg receiver). That was something to hear! It was like a music festival with the porch as the stage! One of my all time great home audio memories!

Yeah!

Ron- the whole reason I went with the Ohm's initially was placement. I HATE the idea of being stuck in 1 'sweet spot' to listening to quality music. I did a years' worth of research before I bought them.

there were lots of other speakers that I loved, especially the Sunfire CRM-2's, that I had to cross off my list because of placement issues.

All I can say is that the Micro Walsh Talls delivered everything I could ask for as far as ease of placement, with enough flexibility to tweak if I want to...
