Ohm Walsh 4 Month Home Trial Money-Back Guarantee?

Hello all: I've read about Ohm's money back guarantee. Heard their speakers many years ago and they were special. In fact I was ready to purchase the fabulous Ohm C in the 70's but the shop said they were out of stock and the factory was on strike. In my normal impatience, I went down the street and purchased the ESS Heil AMT 2's, another fabulous speaker that I wish I still owned! That was a long time ago. These days I'm considering purchasing a very good quality full range set of speakers. Of course, I want to do a home audition in my system, that's a prerequisite! In my home area there are B&W, Energy, Mirage, Genesis, Klipsch, Paradigm, Magnepan, but you can only home audition a few of these brands. That 4 month home trial of Ohm's sounds great, so Ohm is on my short list. I currently have Definitive Technology BP 7002 speakers, Analysis Plus Oval Nine speaker cables, with a McIntosh MA6900 integrated(200 watts per channel continuous), Simaudio Nova Cdp, Shunyata Hydra 4 and listen to Classic Jazz, Classic and Progressive Rock and R&B. My listening room (family room) is a rectangle, 10 ft wide by 18 ft long by 7 ft high. I'm looking for a full range speaker that offers everything top to bottom; big powerful low end, nice midrange, and crystalline high end. Looking to spend $2500- $3500. Do you know of other quality companies that offer in home trials, and have a full range speaker meeting my top to bottom criteria? My research in this price range has not uncovered anything except Ohm. And, what do you think of the Ohm Walsh line? (Thinking of the Ohm Walsh 200 mkII or 300 mkII. Thanks

I have owned Ohms starting with a pair of Ohms F's to the Ohms Walsh 4's now with the Ohm's 300mk11, what can I say I am Hooked on the sound. The 300's will work very well with my large room 20x20x18 feet high. The 300's are power hungry and run at a average of 6.5 ohm's impedence your Mac will push them but not to high levels. I had a Mac 2270 which was replaced with a Bryston 4BST with much better results. As far as the long demo period these speakers require a long break in period nearly the lenght of the home demo period.Ohm also they offer a trade in policy 2nd to none, each time I replaced a older model with a newer one I recieved full credit for the purchace price of the model I was trading in. These speakers will treat you to a wonderfull soundstage great imaging and a non fatiguing sound for years to come.
P. S. your room is not small for the 200's I would recommend them, they also would work well with your 6900
