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

The room reflections are a balancing act... I remember when I was renovating my place and had to move a bunch of furniture into my listening room - it actually made the room too dead. I thought it would improve the sound,.. At one point, I had moved my Ohms into my bedroom, which was lively sounding, and didn't like the sound... Something in between ended up working the best...

Agree, it IS a balancing act.

Has anyone on this forum compared ohm speakers to Gallo's? I have Ohm super 2's and was wondering how they compared to Gallo Classico Line.

Lacking the time today to go back through the thread, can you guys tell me what sub-$500 subwoofer pairs well with the Ohms?

Rich,

I've never heard the Classico, but I have owned Micros and A'Divas and listened to the Gallo Ref extensively. I also own Ohm 100s.

The little guys from Gallo are a different animal entirely, but there is some common ground shared by the Ohms and the wide dispersion Gallo Ref series. That said, the Ohm still sounds quite different than the Gallo Ref - both in the spacial presentation and in tonality. The Gallo is a punchier, more forward design, while the Ohm strikes me (as always, YMMV) as more neutral octave to octave, with a less prominent upper bass range and more "polite" overall presentation.

The thought that struck me was: I'd love to hear an Ohm/Dec style omni "hybrid" that employs that Gallo tweeter instead of the ribbon or dome that you see now. I don't know that it would sound "better", especially since the manufacturers claim to prefer the directional qualities of the tweeter they currently use (surprise!), but the idea of more uniform full range omni dispersion (ala MBL) via such a hybrid strikes me as intriguing.
