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

Bondman,
Thanks for the info. And you'll be happy to know I ended up taking your & Map's advise and dumped the vintage Kenwood for powering the 2.2000s and replaced it with a Valve Audio Predator -- which made a huge difference.

Mapman, Bondman and others, I have a serious question. I have a turntable, many CDs, some excellent SACDs, a top notch FM receiver, and thousands of mp3's, mostly ripped at 196 kps or higher. Yet, 80 % of my listening is done on vinyl. Is it that I'm just an old guy who cut his teeth on vinyl and I'm into nostalgia or is there something unique about my setup with vinyl? Keep in mind that I took a nearly 30 year hiatus from vinyl until I set up my new system.

Finally getting my rig setup. Awaiting Kimber 4VS cables and using cheap wire right now.

While music from the turntable and computer sound great, I'm having a hard time with that "ghost center channel" for television, movies, etc. It just sounds like its coming from two speakers on either side of the tv.

I'll upload a picture of my setup this afternoon for more precise help here.

Batch,

Glad things are working out.

Carja,

HArd to say. I'm an older guy too (52) and leaned towards vinyl as well until I went with a NEtwork Music Player (first Roku SOundbridge, now Squeezebox TOuch) + music server. Now I spend most of my time with the Touch/music server.

I still have a lot of records that I would love to listen to if I had the time to muck with records but I have a huge backlog of things to listen to on my music server alone that will take me a long time to get through, so I only on occasion spin the vinyl when I get the urge.

I do tend to lean towards the vinyl for older vintage recordings and classical music in general but I also listen to a lot of newer stuff these days so that makes a difference.

Is anyone using their MWT's (or other ohm) in a 5.1 set up?
Im liking them so much im going to order a center from Ohm. If so, what are you using as surrounds?

I ask because my family room came pre-wired with in ceiling back surrounds and OHM does not make in wall stuff. Wifey has nixed the OHM on wall so i was curious about timbre matching with the previously installed surrounds.
