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

I hope you all enjoy your new Ohms. I have enjoyed both the micros and the 100s. Give yourself some time to get used to the sound and I'm sure you will be very pleased!

Glad to see there is another happy camper. There needs to be a resource for Ohm owners and perspective owners to hang out and discuss these great speakers!

How much power are you all using with your Ohms? I was thinking of looking for ~ 200 Watts for some headroom for my 100s but I'm not sure what brands or pieces to look at. Of course I'm open to less power but the idea was tempting :). If I could get it in a relatively small package or at least in one unit (like an integrated) that would be great.... Any ideas on what I should look for?

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Another DAC I can recommend is the VDA-2 from Channel Islands. I use one with the VAC-1 Power supply and find it excellent. It is solid state but has a very smooth but detailed sound. I've auditioned a few other DACs (Benchmark DAC1, Stello, etc.) but always went back to this one. Also, the customer service is outstanding too.

Microwalsh Talls go for about 1K and they go up from there. Check out the link below for pricing:

I think what has been said in this thread earlier about the Ohm's not having a typical "Hi-Fi" sound is very true. When I was looking at speakers I auditioned the Arros and thought they were a very nice speaker. To me they seemed a bit bright. Loudness and brightness can often be linked to "detailed" or "better". Each speaker will definitely have a different sound and only you can determine which is better for your needs. The one thing that always impresses me about Ohm's is how close they come to making vocals sound like the real thing. But one thing that impressed me about the Arros was the "punch" they seemed to give on certain things like drums.
Right now you are picking up on differences. Just as you did when you took the Arros out and placed the Ohms in your system. If you were to sit with the Arros for a few weeks and put the Ohm's back I think you'd post the same type of reaction on differences you hear :)

One thing you should do is play around and get the best placement for each speaker. Also, listen to a variety of music that you care about. I've never understood how some audiophiles can tailor what they listening to based on the system they have. Your system should be able to play the music you enjoy in a way you enjoy hearing it. Good luck and keep us posted on your thoughts!

My room (listening area plus opening) is about that size and John recommended the 100s.
