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

Thanks Map. I'll be livening up the room this week. I'll talk to John, but I think it's just a black red binding post issue. Things came right into focus when I swapped wires, and nothing else changed. A good start, and it only gets better as things settle in, right?

I am second day in, (32 hrs), and they are staying. Fantastic. The wife agrees. So, covered on both ends. She's off to grab a CD that she wants to hear. Inception in right now. Pirates earlier, plus Aja Steely, Tori Amos, Sherlock Holmes. Doesn't matter. It's all huge and enveloping. It's loud, but we can talk to each other without really raising our voices. Centered when needed, but big, wide.

I've moved them closer and out. Me like.

I have found that I had my room treated for Merlins, so I had damped the room a bit (to offset their "personailty")... I found as I removed some of the Echotunes/roomtunes/cornertunes devices, that live sound returned, that air returned, while still keeping that quad/stat cohesiveness to the huge stage... Also removing some of the roomtunes helped the 2c3d thing to "pop" into place. The only room treatments left, are those in the lower half of the rear wall corners, BELOW the Ohm canister - I found any room treatments above the canister to damp things down too much here.

Also, like others in this thread have mentioned, I have the speakers level, and level with each other. Makes a big difference here with the 2C3D thing also. Getting the canisters to fire at the same angle and height. All walls just melt, with my Ohm's 6-7 feet apart, firing straight out into room, 3' from side walls, pulled well out from rear walls (using the Cardas method for speaker placement), 11' to listening position (good sized room).

Like Ultimatezap found, just a huge stage. and I have found I cannot make them sound un-musical - and even when crazy loud on big symphonies or metal, you can still hear the person next to you.

"It's loud, but we can talk to each other without really raising our voices."

That's a very good omen!!!

Just noticed this thread hit 1700 posts! That is nearly 10% of all the posts in the entire speaker section, unreal.
