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!

I would counsel against buying any speaker without listening to it first. From what you’ve said, you’re potential purchase is on the basis of reviews that you have read. Your ears and taste may differ substantially from the reviewers. I’ve read many great reviews of speakers and then listened to the actual speaker. While appreciating what the reviewer heard and raved about I’ve still walked away and said to myself “good speaker, just not for me”. One person’s “detailed” is another person’s “cold and harsh”. Another’s “warm” some would consider “muddied”. Beauty is in the ear of the beholder. It may turn out that you absolutely love the Ohm Walsh speaker when and if you actually purchase it. But I wouldn’t bet on it.
