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.
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.
Its a very intriguing combo or potentially adding more sibilence, definition, pierce and air, the things that are heard above 7-8Khz or so, to to the top end with the OHMs if one is looking for more of that than the built in directional soft dome tweet can provide.
