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!

See, you go about this from an odd place. ALL speakers have their fans, so I tend to think more about the accuracy of the reproduced music.

Walsh speakers are not worse than or much better than many box speakers. They have their good points, and they are an interesting design point by someone who is trying to "move the bar" in a new direction.  I always support innovation regardless of the outcome.  You never reach your goals without some bumps in the road.

Unfortunately, Jim WIney kind of solved the accuracy issues back in the 1970’s, leaving boxes in the dust. This is not to say boxes are not good, just that they all distort in some way that Jim’s speakers do not.

So, if you like the Walsh sound, go for it. This whole hobby is about what YOU like IN YOUR ROOM.

Don’t let anyone tell you what YOU like, ever!

Cheers...
