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

Hey Rebbi, Just caught up with this thread again. Wow, you are on quite an Ohmazing adventure! Sorry for sending you to Totem town, but now that you have visited Ohmville, you know where you want to live.

I have learned a lot from this thread and wonder if the Ohm owner I know might benefit from some of the placement suggestions made here - his system suffers a little in terms of image blurring that may have more to do with improper placement than any inherent character of the Ohm speakers. Anyway, seems as though you are enjoying your system and your audio journey.

Hey Mapman - hope you are doing well too!

Know, I'm good thanks!

The image sharpness was not as good on the original Walsh speakers from the 80's and not up to par with more modern designs IMHO. I owned original Walsh 2's for 25 years prior to the two pair of series 3 I own now for comparison.

Unfortunately, I suspect the originals, which were sold in large #'s in various hifi chains back then, are the OHM Walsh speakers that most people have heard and remember.

If your friends speaks are series 3, I'd bet some placement tuning should resolve things. I've never heard series 2, but I suspect it is somewhere in between in that series 3 uses a different tweeter, though my uderstanding is the Walsh driver is the same as series 2.

I just orderd a pair of the 100s and the dual 12 sub, I also just pechased the Yamaha htr6180b 735 watt 7.1 receiver. My room is 13x16, and by the sound of things I might want to consider making my romm bigger 13x26. This will be the best system i have owned. Can't wait to get everything in and hooked up.

My A'gon Friends,

Sorry I've been so silent here.

My dad had emergency cardiac bypass surgery on Thursday morning. He's doing well, thank God, but as you can well imagine, audio equipment has been way down on my list of priorities recently. Anyway, I'll be back an posting soon, I hope. And if you're so inclined, all prayers appreciated.

Rebbi,

Wishing your father a speedy recovery!

Bob
