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

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.

You might get by with Microwalsh talls, even smaller, more like Arro size I think.
Call OHM and talk to John Strohbeen.   See what he says.

I use ohm 100s (slightly larger than 1000) in 12X12 rooms as close as 1 foot to walls to better effect than conventional monitors or towers of similar size in there.

After a number of emails with Evan I went ahead and ordered the 2000's which is what they recommended for my room which isn't ideal so you should get in touch with them leahy they will give you good advice.
