"Once fully broken in, were the vocals from your Walsh's still very laid back? "
They are very neutral, not inherently bright or forward I would say, but
I think it will depend on room, setup, electronics and other factors, but no, not inherently.
Break in will make a lot of difference in this regard, whether its the speaker breaking in or your ears adjusting to the new sound or a combo of both (most likely the case).
The OHM Walshes are inherently more laid back than forward sounding in general, but the vocals themselves are not relative to the rest. They are generally very clear and right there where they should be on my system.
Now the Walsh 5s are highly adjustable at the speaker, including presence/midrange, but I do not find myself using these much to compensate for anything.
The toe-out trick, exposing the tweeters somewhat more directly in fron of you main listening position, can always be used to brighten things up a bit as well if needed.
IC tweaks can also have a good effect if needed.
Tizzy cymbals should not occur in any case.
At locations well off axis from the tweeters, the top end will drop off but everything else should remain clear and highly coherent.
Lesser recordings in general will sound more laid back than others, I would say.
