Anyone dislike Ohm Walsh speakers?

 if you can get them in a huge room well away from walls, they image like nobody’s business, with instrumental locations [imaging] independent of listener position. they were reasonably transparent with a clear but mellow treble. bass even on the smaller models was full and extended down below the low E of the string bass. i could listen to them forever, no listening fatigue whatsoever. the holographic imaging was addictive. if you listen to them closer than about 8 feet in a room where they are closer than a meter from any room surface, then the aforementioned magic disappears, at least it did for me. i’ve run across several and most of them had warped voice coils or sagging/offset woofer, you don’t hear the problem until a bass note comes along, then comes the telltale coil scraping sound. expensive to fix what with a grand worth of freight fees. so get them brand new or vetted by somebody you know well.
