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.

Kbuzz - If you read back through this thread, you'll see that I started with a pair of Ohm 2000s to replace my mains in my combo 2-channel/7.1 home theater. I then grabbed a pair of MWTs used on Audiogon to replace my surrounds, then ordered a center channel from Ohm. Only the subs and the back surrounds are not Ohms at this point. I am extremely pleased with the surround sound - Ohm speakers maintain their voicing uniformly throughout the Walsh series better than most other brands.
Bondmanp-thanks for the response. The n ceiling speakers were pre wired/installed when i bought the house. Since OHM does not make an in wall and wifey rejected the on wall ohms as ugly was trying to get suggestions as an in ceiling speaker with some timbre similarity to the ohms. The currently installed def techs do not.
Kbuzz - While it would be very difficult to find another brand that was a good match in timbre for the Ohms, if your AVR or pre-pro has a room EQ feature, you should be able to get a better match than without that feature. Especially helpful is an EQ that can be adjusted manually, and separately for each channel. My very inexpensive Pioneer AVR (which I use as a pre-pro and amp for the surround channels in my combo 2-channel/HT system) has MCACC, the Pioneer proprietary room EQ program that does a very good job, and can be tweaked manually without losing any of the other settings.
Wow! Tonight (after running them as much as I could for over a month) it finally happened -- my 2.2000's totally blossomed. I had a Cal Tjader cd on and the decay on his vibes seemed to just float on and on into the room. Just fantastic.
