Well, it appears that I am soon to be knee-deep in Ohm speakers! I ordered a pair of the 100s today from John. Really, the extent to which they are willing to work to satisfy customers is pretty remarkable! He is sending me the 100s, and told me to hang onto Micros (including both sets of drivers) until I figured out what sounded the best. Then I return what I don't want and my account is adjusted (or not) accordingly. So I have an additional three months to figure out what I want to do.
I did have the opportunity to swap out the drivers on the Micros once again and put the originals back in. After a bit of time listening, I'm not convinced that the difference between the two sets of drivers is that extraordinary. In other words, there is a difference, but it's pretty subtle. Maybe a little less sense of detail... I'm just not sure. But the original drivers certainly don't sound dull or rolled off in the high frequencies, that's for sure.
By the way, Mapman, John explained to me the difference between the two sets of drivers for the micros, the originals and the modified ones. Essentially, the tweeters that come with the 100s are manufactured to output an additional 3 dB of response over those that come with the 100s, because that is what is needed with the 100s. What John did for me was to put the tweeters from the 100s into the Micros. So, essentially, with the 100s, I will be getting the same tweeters as in the modified Micro drivers that John sent, albeit mated to the larger, inverted driver for the 100s.
I did ask him about the possibility of having excessive bass output in my small room. He said that it is much easier to attenuate excess bass response than it is to add bass after-the-fact.
I deliberately asked John to ship them toward the end of next week, since I'm going to be out of town on business for a good part of next week. Of course, as always, I'll report back here when I have some impressions to share.
