Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Tvad: thanks! 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Thanks for your support, guys. Sometimes Audiogon feels like some kind of 12-Step group for people with audio dependency. ;-) 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Well, guys,I cannot believe I did this, but I actually ordered a pair of Micro Walsh Tall's today! :-D The description of these things by the people who have and love them is just too good to pass up. The Arro's are still breaking in, and they're ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Jaybo,I understand the huge sweet spot and the huge soundstage, but what about imaging, i.e., placing instruments in space? It's hard to imagine this given that sound is bouncing all over the room. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Zkzpb8,Helpful comments, thanks!I've heard these speakers referred to several times as "non-fatiguing," and I wonder what that means. Do you feel that they have a "mellow" or "warm" coloration, or is it that they are well controlled and don't get ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
When I first spoke to John at Ohm, he said they could go as little as 6" to 10" off the rear wall, but that would of course depend on the rest of the room. My room is only around 15' by 12'. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Jaybo,What John Potis, the reviewer at 6moons.com, said that really intrigued me is his statement that, "I find [the Micro Walsh Talls] unequivocally enjoyable, without any major nits to pick that would qualify my enjoyment." So that's why I'm int... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Tvad,Good point about buying used. Actually, that was my original intent, but to maximize WAF I needed the Arros in black and couldn't find anybody selling that color on A'gon. I am tempted to do what you say and bring the Ohm's in for the auditio... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
That's all consistent with what I've heard. It was down to the Ohm's or the Totem Arro's when I bought my new speakers a couple of months ago. The Arro's are still breaking in, admittedly, and I wouldn't say I'm feeling "buyer's remorse," but I no... 
Holographic imaging
Not to beat this thread to death (probably too late for that ;-) ) but to me, soundstage and imaging are what happen between and sometimes to the right and left of right and left speakers, respectively (as in, "Those speakers throw a huge soundsta... 
Holographic imaging
Mapman,Yes, I have an old Carver C-9 Sonic Hologram Generator that was made to do the same trick. It injects some out of phase info into the signals (as I understand it) that is supposed to eliminate interaural cross-talk, i.e., it's designed such... 
Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please
Mapman,All I really know is what people have recommended here on eBay. The Lehmann Black Cube, Musical Surroundings Phonomena, and Jolida JD-9 all seem to be well regarded. The standard Bottlehead Seduction only has around 36 db of gain,and so is ... 
Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please
Mapman,Hi! I like the Unison very much. Built like an absolute tank and sounds very fine to my ears... more than enough power to drive the Arro.I consulted with a Unison dealer (don't want to put him on the record without his permission) who told ... 
Budget reference floorstanders for a b.r. system
I second Mapman's recommendation to look at the Arro. Lovely speaker for a small room... I'm still breaking mine in. And you can walk away with a used pair on Audiogon for under $800! Nice midrange, airy highs and astonishing bass for the size. 
Cartridge, Preamp advice: Bottlehead Seduction?
Well,anyway, I took the plunge and ordered the Seduction kit today... spoke to Doc, who was very nice and very enthusiastic. I'll keep you posted! :-)
