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

That would... | |
| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? "One mitigating factor, I'm told, is that the Ohms aren't pure omnis, with front-facing tweeters and a wide-dispersion midrange cone that omits firing toward the back wall. I spoke to John Strobheen at Ohm who told me he figured between a foot and... | |

| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Rebbi,For greatest potential improvement, I'd look towards the separates if viable for you. I doubt you could go wrong with Bel Canto for compactness or even Musical Fidelity or Classe (those would be leading contenders were it me). A nice inexpen... | |

| Anyone have a victrola The closest thing I have managed to-date with a Victrola is a rear lit clock on my wall behind my system with the RCA Victrola/Nipper logo on it. I found that from a vendor on Ebay for about $100. | |
