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


Hi,

I'd love to hear the impressions of people who've actually spent some time with these speakers to share their sense of their plusses and minuses. Mapman here on Audiogon is a big fan, and has shared lots on them, but I'm wondering who else might be familiar with them.

Since you ask :-)

First, that is a really nice looking set of speakers!

Second, I suspect that you would greatly improve your sound stage IF you could shift all of the stuff, especially the speakers, 2 to3 feet further into the room and hang some heavy cloth panels on the windows. You could keep the shears and drapes on separate rods keeping the drapes open framing the windows except for those times you are listening critically. But I realize we all have problems and ideal set ups are not always possible. :-)
Nice and cozy.

Perhaps considering listing your speakers too as part of your set-up. There will be those who aren't following this thread but who will happen upon your virtual system.

I am a little surprised the 5000s don't overpower the room. How did you arrive at selecting the 5000s?
Thanks Newbee and Mapman, last night I moved the speakers in a bit and the speakers disappeared; I was surrounded by music! Finsup the room size is a bit misleading from my photo. There is the dining room behind where I sit that is one foot above the listening area and extends about 20 feet behind where I sit. Similarly, off to the left, the room opens up into a large entrance way. The ceilings are about 11-12 feet high. So when I crank up the volume I can enjoy the music while dining or I can hear when I'm off to the wetbar on the left of the room. If the room were enclosed, I would have gone with the smaller speakers like the 3000 or 2000.
