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

I thought about starting a new thread, but it just seemed right to continue the discussion here.

I'm digging through my collection (almost 60,000 tracks) and throwing as much variety as I can at the speakers. You're right, it is fun stuff to check out a new set of speakers!

I just ordered 5 ads on the OHM speaker line from tbe 70s and 80s. Ohm F. 5 and others.i will blow them up or frame all 5 togather. Does anyone have an OHM I ad??

I think I have the flyer for my original Walsh 2s circa 1982 filed away.

The old ads are good fun to look at. I don’t have an Ohm I, most of mine are Walsh series stuff. Keep watching the Bay, quite a few come up of various Ohm every now and then. Have to admit though, not sure I have seen one on the I Model....

All,

Coming in to this game pretty late...  My room is 8X14 with a french door opening to the living room, and I'm always looking for a speaker that can make the room appear larger than it is. I'm about to move some Magnepan .7s today. I wanted to hear them, and they are excellent speakers, but they dominate the room. So, out they go. 

I'm currently very happy with some Totem Arros and a Naim Nait XS2. Very engaging sound, but it might be nice to have a slightly bigger soundscape. I'm actually quite happy with the bass from the Arros in this room.

The question is, should I even consider the 1000s in this space, or is it just too narrow? I would be at 10-12" from the side walls, and the room can only be set up to fire down the length of the room.

If anyone has experience trying something this narrow with the Ohms, I would love to hear your thoughts.
