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

Phaelon56, yes consider yourself very blessed on your LeGall rebuilds. I have two friends that have had his work done on a pair of F's and a pair of 3XO's, and they both have said the same thing, swear by his work and ability to make things right. I had him redo some foams on my 3XO's a couple years ago, and again, great work and very reasonable. Would recommend him anytime. The last I had heard too was that he didn't want to do rebuilds on F's anymore. Shame, but I am sure it is for a good reason. Glad you are enjoying your F's! Tim

Phaelon,

I'm not familiar with the 14" stands.

Does that elevate the driver 14" higher than just the F cabinets alone?

My 5s are in OHM refurbed and tweaked (now ported similar to other CLS models) F cabinets. I find this a good height for listening from a seated position in that tonality with CLS drivers seems to change unfavorably if listening from a position below the driver. I wonder if that is the case with F Walsh drivers, which I believe are also inherently taller than 5 CLS drivers as well?

I suspect it is indeed different with the F's. I tried them without the stands and found that unique spatiality to be a bit diminished. Seated on the couch or walking around... I find this height to be perfect for my ears and these drivers. Hope these links to Photobucket work. You'll need to cut and paste but the stands are in the first photo (before I added the concrete pads)

First link above got fouled up but the second one - to the photo of driver - is okay. Let's try again for pic of speakers with stands.

Phaelon.

BEautiful! I can see where that would work quite well in that size room, especially with the wood floors, which I have always found to be somewhat problematic acoustically including with OHM Walshes, especially the bottom ported CLS models.

I put 12" slate tiles under my "super" Walsh 2s with teh 100S3 drivers when I moved those to my family room on the second floor even with dense carpet and padding on the wood flooring material. Not an issue with any of my speakers when they reside in the basement with its similar carpeting but over the concrete foundation. Dealing with acoustics associated with the floor is definitely important, especially with bottom ported models.
