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

Bond, I agree with you, I tend to like a bit of "liveliness" versus more damped with my Ohm's. But like most things, it is all up to the listener's ears.

One thing you might try just for a quick and easy sanity check with regards to your TV screen in between your Ohm's, grab a light blanket or something similar and toss it over the screen, this can give you a quick feel as to how things might be affecting your staging/sound quality.

Rbf-Like most have commented on here, experimentation is the key to setup success. Hang in there and have patience, you will get there! Tim

Large flat panel TVs between speakers probably never helps but is not necessarily a major issue either I find, though I think it certainly can be depending on placement relative to tv, rear walls, and any other large obstructions that will tend to reflect sound, like the tall cabinets in my 2 channel a/v system. They serve a purpose so they stay but if this were my main system tuned to the max, they would have to go and the flat screen would probably have to go on the wall rather than on the table in between and behind the speakers.

Map, unfortunately, this is why I more or less gave up on my A/V system, there ended up being too many compromises in a living room that has to be used as a living room. I sure do miss having a more dedicated space for the gear, but I have been able to better optimize the space for good 2-channel, even with my 55" screen in the mix.

Making sure the Ohm's are more in front of the plane of the screen and spread apart has helped tremendously with this, a small compromise, but it works. Thing is, this living room probably "sounds" better or is more sonically appealing than my original dedicated hi-fi rig room of the past. Tim

The room reflections are a balancing act... I remember when I was renovating my place and had to move a bunch of furniture into my listening room - it actually made the room too dead. I thought it would improve the sound,.. At one point, I had moved my Ohms into my bedroom, which was lively sounding, and didn't like the sound... Something in between ended up working the best...

Agree, it IS a balancing act.
