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

Finsup,

I use my Ohm 100s with Rythmik subs. I use an Audyssey enabled Onkyo pre-pro to integrate the subs and provide room correction. The system sounds awfully good and I think it's going on 2 years without a component change - probably a personal best!

Finsup: My 2-channel chain does not include any DSP. However, when I listen in surround, my AVR applies Pioneer's MCACC, and I do notice a smoother quality to the sound. Note that I run my 2000s with a pair of Vandersteen 2Wq subs with Vandy HP-5 crossovers. I have never felt the need for any EQ in the bass, but maybe it would help things.

Tobeornottobe: Fascinating post! I have often wondered what my Ohms would sound like with a pricier tweeter. Did you disconnect the Ohm Walsh super tweeter, or does it continue to run alongside the Omni Harmonizers? FWIW, I have no issues with a solid center image. If anything, it is too centered and narrow. That may be due to room treatments (mostly Auralex foam panels). I have removed some of them, and may remove more.

Tobeornottobe: I just read the Audiophile Voice review linked at the M&D web site. Interesting. I do wonder, though: Where did you place the Omni-Harmonizers? The Walsh caps are not totally flat, and I would bet John Strohbeen would not approve of placing anything atop them, much less the Omni-Harmonizers that must be fairly heavy. I would think it would interfere with the upward radiation of the Walsh drivers, no? One of the things I love about the Ohms is the floor-to-ceiling imaging. I'd hate to compromise that.

Bondmanp, the Ohm walsh dome tweeters were never disconnected. And I had no issue walking around the room and still getting that huge stable soundstage Ohm walsh driver are famous for with the O.H. connected. The issue of the center image being slightly diffuse may be room dependent but I'm referring to the O.H. ability to give that image more weight and body.

The Omni Harmonizers were placed on the Ohm 3000 grills with no problems. The grills still leave some space between themselves and the top of the metal can that encloses the Ohm drivers. My understanding is that Ohm own dome supertweeter sit directly above the Walsh driver inside that can.
