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

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.

Thanks Mapman and Carja. I'd love to get my 2000s farther away from the back and side walls, but I have very little space to work with. The speakers are in an alcove of my 22' X 18' basement (with only 6' ceilings). The alcove is only about 9 or 10 ft. wide, and my seating position is about 12 ft from the front wall. So, with the 2000s about 3' away from the front wall, and about 2 to 2.5' away from the side walls, the speakers are barely 5' apart. Any closer together, and they would obscure the Plasma TV. I do have some acoustic foam at driver height behind and to the sides of the speakers, and I am thinking of removing at least the foam that is along the front wall.

So, if I am understanding this correctly, Mapman thinks my Plasma TV centered on the front wall between the Ohms might be a good thing as is, while Carja would suggest covering up the TV with curtains for critical listening. Hmmm. What to do?

I love the sound I have now, but there is not much depth, so I will continue to experiment.

By the way, a local speaker builder has a wonderful web site with many interesting essays on hi-fi, including some on omnidirectional speakers. Check it out:
