rebbi...glad you like 'em. the ohm walsh micro is truly in a class of its own. |
ohm has the same character thoughout the line...a lost art for most brands...in a bigger room, the 100 would have more bass, provided the amp will control them. |
in a smaller room, the micros are incredible. in an average sized room, the 100's are going to play a bit deeper. overall, they are incredible...factor in the price, and there are really isn't much full range competition unless you want to fuss with placement. if they were made in germany, they would literally be 3k. i compared them the fj oms and classic allison CD7's, and they bested both. |
gotta respond to 'not very revealing'. the ohm line has a 'decades old' history of going for a neutral/balanced presentation. they favor no frequency. the 120 day trial is a chance to live with playing lots of music. many speakers(hi end and other) are designed to dazzle you with certain frenquencies (the real parlour trick). the ohm's only trick(which is no trick at all...just using the room intead of fighting it) is the 'sweet spot', which is 'everywhere'. you could spend 3 or 4 times more, and get less. it would hold its own with the forrest or staff from totem, and yes i like totem a lot. if you like all kinds of music, and don't want to worry about buying only those cd's or lp's deemed audiophile, you're home free(except for the cost of the speakers) with the micro tall. give to arros a chance certainly, but once you go ohm, you will likely find out why they still ring a music lover's bell. |
18 inches to 24 inches would be ideal..... |
john is correct. they really change character very little by pulling away from the back wall. |
never harsh or 'in your face'...but not overly sweet...neutral |
no more bouncing than a conventional speaker. the sound stage is what ohm is famous for. the fact that they are balanced across the bandwidth, and convey weight, is the icing and the cherry on the cake. |
report in Rebbi... i think you'll be amazed in more ways than one. |
the suspense is killing me |
generally...a couple feet(approx) out from the back, and three feet in on the sides...can vary to acheive proper bass. |
i'd say less, but i've always found ohms to sound pretty satble right out of the box. |
i like totem arrows, but they really won't dramatically 'change' into something resembling the ohm. |
|
ohms just get better with time for sure. dynamic impact, detail, etc. the longer you live with them, the more you'll appreciate their ease with pretty much any style and size of music. |
rebbi...sorry for the delayed reponse, but there are speakers that 'confess' their preference of fequency, by recordings such as the moody blues record i refered to. you'll find the ohms' balance makes 'days of future past' a really good listen....it's corny and spectacular. |
days of future passed-the moody blues |
get this post to the 1000 mark. |
