Ohm Walsh 2 v. 2XO
Marcus-I hate to see an Ohm thread unanswered. The XO stood for 'extra ouput' I think, and went deeper and louder than the original 2. They also had controls to change the bass output to adapt for different conditions.A good way to go is to buy a ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Rebbi- how far apart do you place them?After experimenting and a surprise suggestion from my wife, I find theat I have them ridiculously close together at 5 feet between the tweeters.But it does wonders for soundstage and imaging

Choosing the best speakers for my system.
Zak-We seem to have similar musical tastes. Budget would be a good thing to know though.I'm very biased since I just took delivery of a set of Micro Walsh Talls, but if you like the transparent sound of the maggies, you might want to consider spea... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Good advice for anyone, Map.However, 'Arriving Somehwere' IS my #1 demo track when audtitioning speakers.-P 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
No doubt about Deadwing. My old Deftech surrounds could not handle it in multi-channel. I actually hooked up my Pinnacle towers to handle surrounds at that point.My experience with Definitive Technologies was not good. And Deadwing more than anyth... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I had a great experience last night, and it's making me re-think my belief that there is no such thing as a break-in period.I was listening to Porcupine Tree "The Start of Something Beautiful" off the 'Deadwing' cd. I actually had too much bass, a...

Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
thaks everyone for all the help, input and advice. My wonderful experience with the Ohm's is making me want to learn a bit more before I spend more money on future upgrades.I just ordered Jim Smith's 'Get Better Sound' after reading a lot of posit... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Rebbi-I know my last post may have been rambling, but I think we're experiencing a similar thing. For me, they sound great no matter where I put them, but different locations result in different qualities.I'm fairly comfortable with the idea of mo... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I'm not sure if this is acceptable technique or not, but this is something that's working for me. Obviously, I'm obssessed with bass response, and I've noticed that the Ohm's are faithful to the source material. If the recording is lean on bass, t... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Espresso- that's awesome! It's very exciting to read about all the folks buying Ohm's. I hope everyone posts every detail about their experiences with them.-P 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
No doubt. All I'm saying is that, compared to other speakers I've heard or had, the tonal shift is minimal. Not to mention imaging and soundstage, which completely collapse with most speakers I've heard as soon as I stand up or even move to scratc...
