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

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. 

I'm enjoying my Ohm 1000s as I type this -- Murray Perahia is playing Beethoven's Piano Concerto No 1 and the sound is expansive. Ohm's do a wonderful job of capturing the scale of an orchestra in a concert hall.

My room is roughly 13 X 14 and the speakers are 7' apart from each other on the shorter wall, 10" out. (They started out 8' apart and 14" from the wall, but small changes make a dramatic difference. Experimentation is important.) 

I had originally discounted the Ohms, because as a semi-omni speaker, I thought the wall opening at the right behind the speakers would play havoc with the sound. John Strohbeen at Ohm and I discussed this and it turned out he was quite right. I'd suggest you discuss your issue with him and see what he thinks. You may be surprised, as I was.

Thank you for all three replies - that all sounds very hopeful. My inclination is to try the 1000. The volume of my room, with 9' ceiling, is just over the 1000 mark, and excessive bass has never been an issue with any speaker I have used (Altec A7 and split 210 cabinets included). I'll check in with Ohm.
