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

An omni tweeter, especially using the folded ribbon Heil kind, sounds like a good thing. My only concern would be how well it integrates with the rest in lieu of a crossover. It appears to be designed to integrate cleanly and easily out of the box without a crossover with other M&D speakers which makes sense.

I would expect adding to the OHMs would make them sound more like mbl than prior. mbl uses multiple omni drivers including tweeter. mbls tend to need more distance to walls than OHM for best sound since they are full omni. The tweets might as well? OHMs by default can go closer to walls due to attenuation applied to CLS drivers in wall facing irections inside the cans. Not sure if closer distance to walls would be an issue or not with the omni tweets.

When I get home tonight, I can try moving the OHM/O.H. in and out away from the back wall to see if it's an issue with the supertweeter.

I want to take back my description of the O.H. as reserved on first listen, with about 15 hrs. breakin, they seem to have open up with more extension.

Tobe,

Inquiring minds want to know.....

Looking forward to your findings.

It's my understanding that the crossover on OHM own dome supertweeters kick in at 8 KHz but the walsh drivers themselves are allow to run full range, in which case they begin to roll off naturally above 8 KHz. The Omni Harmonizers which kicks in at 7 KHz seem to me like a natural close fit with the OHM walsh roll off.

Once I started moving my OHM/O.H. in and out between 1 to 3 feet from the back wall, the same old problem of room placement creeps up. At one foot from the back wall and the OHM/O.H. clearly want more room to breath. Three feet give more soundstage depth but at the expense of balance, the low end wanting some back wall reinforcement. What I'm trying to say is that speaker placement has more to do with the main speakers rather than the supertweeters. In my case, for my room, everything gels and falls into place at 20 inches from the back wall to the back of the OHM.
