Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Finsup:The spec sheet that came with my Ohms says the sensitivity is 88 dB/W/m with a recommended peak amplification of 200 Watts. This means that, absent room/placement effects, I can get 102 dB's/speaker at 9 feet. Reference level requires 105dB... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Mapman, Finsup: I got the Ohms because of their reputation for vocals (you see a lot of people over at AVS complaining about dialogue intelligibility in movies) and music (I'm a big fan of Bollywood). And they deliver the goods there! Given what's...

Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Finsup: I have a 7.4 HT system with all 100-S3 drivers. I use Yamaha's YPAO (RX-V763 with external amps), and it works fine. I also have a 2.1 system with 2XO's; an older HTR-5990's YPAO (no amps) works OK there as well.Rbf1138: In my 7.4 system I... 
Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments.......
I am using a pair of micro-Walsh short omnis as a 2.0 system for my bedroom flat screen, which is on a table. Because of WAF, the speakers are on the table BEHIND the TV. They sound great.In addition, I bought these speakers from someone who had b... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Bondmap,I have gone through various 5.1 and 7.1 configurations for the sides and rears, trying combinations of the Super 2's, the 100 S3 omnis, the mini-micro omni's, bipoles, dipoles, and three sets of direct radiators. For my money, there is no ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Finsup,My room is rectangular--about 12.5 feet by 17 feet. It is closed off from everything else by doors, but I wouldn't call it hermetically sealed.I've gone through a bunch of speakers for the side and rear surrounds, and I've come to the follo...

"Simon, what are the dimensions of your center speaker and how well does it blend with the fronts, is it above or below your TV and how far from the wall?"My center speaker is a full-size version of the 100S3, but built to fire straight out as opp...

Jax2 You know, I wondered if you'd recognize me. Holy cow, do you have a posting history! Right now, they are being used as rears until the eleven-channel wide-and-height receivers/processors come down into my price range. I know it's overkill an...

John,I have a home-theater set up that uses the full-size Ohm 100S3's for LCR, a half-size sealed omni version of the 100S3's for left and right surrounds, and micro-Walsh shorts (not omni's) for the rears.As far as your questions, ...WAF: I do no...
