Ohm Walsh Talls and amplification


Ok, I am perplexed and I would appreciate any feedback you can give me. I am interested in getting a pair of Ohm Tall speakers. Initially (based off from Steve Guttenberg's and Zeos' reviews) i assumed that the 2000s were the ones for me. I don't see where Zeos' or Steve's rooms are any bigger than mine but, I measure the square footage of my room last night and it's only 353 square feet! Zeos himself even said that the 1000s were the correct size for his room, but he just wanted to go bigger. So, my first question is: Can you use a bigger Ohm Tall than what your room requires (as Zeos does)? Also, these speakers seem to love power. Steve drove his with a Mytek amp and a big Pass Labs amp. I cannot afford  Pass Labs and, the Mytek...well, I *could* maybe swing that but, Zeos uses a pair of Crown amps that are not made for audio but for DJs and live entertainers, etc. Obviously, he's very happy with the results. I finally did call John Strohbeen and he confirmed that the Talls love power... he suggested Mytek, Peachtree, certain NAD models, and Emotiva as affordable amps that have good results. I then asked him about Zeos using the Crown amps and he said, "Yeah, that's another way to go that's very affordable." I asked him if the sound was good and he said, "Yeah, it sounds good. In fact, we used something like Crown that here in our factory for quite a while." So, my second question is: what success have you had in the way of amplification with your Ohm Talls?

...as the 'resident rogue Walsh fanatic' (DIY; definitely not Ohms....)....

If you've an existing 5.1/7.1 integrated amp or (horrors!) all-in-one...
(while you're comparing/weighing your options...)...you Might Consider...

2 pairs of the smaller Ohms...perhaps of the 'satellite series'...a matching sub of a 'sane' size, since it is a small(er) space....

(Ohm does have their return policy, so it's reasonably a 'safe trial' to do...)

...and listen to what happens. *s*

Ohms>Walsh>omni's: 360 deg. radiation.  If you'd like 'loud(er)", the best means to do so IMHO with any Walsh is to add 2 more if the space (and your taste) allows it...volume control of the 'back' pair is a plus.

At a low volume, subtly occurs.  Turn it up, and you may be able to flex sheetrock. ;)  They have this 'additive' quality. *G*

But, as noted...I'm just a extremist fan of the 'basic concept'...
Hahaha! "Bend sheetrock"... I had some Klipsch Chorus IIs that could do that. Just sold those to help finance this OHM excursion. And yeah, from what I've heard from Steve Guttenberg, the OHMS sound nice at higher volumes. 
*I myself am not a loud listener. I will occasionally turn things up, but not too often. 
I use a stack of Crowns (5kw total power)  to run my media room, 2 pair Klipsch Cornwalls, 2 Heresy,  1 Cornwall center, big VMPS sub. The Crowns sound amazing, very neutral, no noise, even with the efficient Klipsch, they are nigh indestructible,  and can vaporize listeners if I turn it to 11.  the Klipschorns in the listening room are on Rogue tube monoblocks but I think I could run Crown to them with little degradation.
Hmm i heard the Rogie Pharoah running Magnepans at my dealer and it sounded wonderful.  He carried full Audio Research and Rogue lines and liked the Pharoah best.
