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!

Agree with the prior posts to try them in your room with your equipment.  However here’s my experience with Ohms. 
I briefly heard the F’s in the 70s and was impressed. Hadn’t thought much about it until recently when I heard Ohm was still around. 
I picked up a nice used pair of the 4’s and they sounded great - very natural and easy to listen to. They weren’t as detailed or extended on top like some newer speakers, but the coherence and openness made up for a lot. 
I took a chance and ordered the upgrade to current tech which makes them equivalent to the 3000 talls. I’m very happy with the upgrade and the upper and lower ends are more extended. 
I end up listening to them more than my other Salk Songtower / AVA system but like both a lot. 
Maybe the safe thing is to see if there are any used pairs in your area.
