About to hit year 12 with my 2000s. No desire to change these for anything anywhere near the price, even the new higher price. FWIW, I bought them without hearing them first. Once broken in, they are fantastic, IMHO.
Anyone dislike Ohm Walsh speakers?
Hello,
I live in Southeast Asia in a country where there is no way to audition a pair of Ohm Walsh speakers. I'm looking to buy a pair of Ohm Walsh 2000's for music/home theater.
I have seen rave reviews about the Ohm Walshs and like the idea of an omnidirectional speaker. But I'm hesitant since I would like this to be my "forever" pair of speakers and am paying $500 for shipping. Has anyone here heard a pair of Ohm Walshs and not liked them? Just trying to figure out my chances of making a purchase that I might regret. Thank you so much everyone!

@lagunamike...very interested to hear what the rest of your system is. My experience has been a bit different than yours. I did have a peaky brightness around 5-7kHz which I assumed was the 2000s, but a new amplifier made that vanish completely. John likes to promote his speakers as a good match with any electronics, but IME, the 2000s respond well to better gear, and work better with some gear than others. |
@gimmer Interesting that you returned them after one month with two months left on your trial period. I bought mine in late 2009 and if they continued to sound like they did after one month, I would have returned them also. The biggest changes came in the 6-12 week range. I have even heard that John Strohbeen won't take a return in less than a month for that reason. I assume you tried adjusting the level switches before you returned them. |
