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.

Anyone seen or tried the sub that John @ Ohm offers? I do not believe it is an in house design, but seems pretty inexpensive at $250 in black and OHM will re-veneer to match existing walsh models
I'm also curious about the Ohm sub. Anyone know anything about it? A picture, even? It'd be half the price I paid for the Velodyne, so maybe I'd consider swapping.
If i recall my conversation with john, the sub is approximately 16 cube, goes for 250 in black or another $150 for optional matching ohm veneer

Its a little large for my needs but the matching veneer may make up for it. If its covered by the generous ohm return policy i may take a shot...

would like to know a little more detail re amp/driver/port(??) and general performance but given that there are some decent subs coming out of china these days (REL) it sounds interesting.
I'm having a bit of buyer's remorse after having had the Velodyne sub connected for a day or two now. I don't know if it's positioning, the non in-line connection, or something else but the bass to me seems both unnecessary sometimes compared to the Ohms bass output alone, and other times seems to overpower the sound. Right now I have the sub against the wall, to the right of the right speaker, which puts it about 3/4 of the way to the wall on the right which is about 10 feet from the subwoofer. I haven't yet moved the subwoofer to try other positions.

I used the auto-EQ, and have fiddled a bit with phase settings and the low-pass dial, although generally I shoot to tighten up the bloat and minimize how loud and bloomy it can sound. If anyone has any tips on how I should get this thing properly setup that'd be a big help. Right now I'm not feeling that my $450 was justified.
One more note: I feel like the sub isn't quick enough to keep up with the speed and crispness of the Ohms.
