Are Ohm Walsh's a step up from Martin Login Electro Motion ESL's

I currently have a hapr of Martin Login Electro Motion ESL's and I will never get rid of them, but in my current house only one person can trully be in the sweet spot for the speakers, and it does get a little annoying how fast you can get off axis.  I really want to find something beautilf sounding in a small room that just feels like you are there.  The one speaker that keeps coming up that can do this are Ohm Walshes.  I have been looking at the Ohm Walsh 2's and doing an upgrade (speakers on my terrms) or looking at the tall 2000s.   I really want to find a speaker that is my last speaker for a long time. 

I am driving my speakers with Odessy Kismet Mono block's and a Schiit Freya+ with RCA JAN 5692's in the gain side and PSVANE COSSOR 6SN7 in the buffer side.  

Have anyone compared Ohm's to Martin Logan's.  Anything else I should be looking at.  My budget is $4000+ but I also am a guy that likes rebuilds of things.  I primarily listen to Rock and Jazz

Ohms are going to be very different in presentation from the MLs -- you know that, right? Panel electrostatics have a narrow, focussed sweet spot, while omnis like the Ohms have a more spacious sound. What is better will be a matter of taste.

You could call Ohm and talk to John Strohbeen and get his views. He’s a really good guy.

I agree that placement of one speaker in a corner is not optimal. I am not so sure that that’s worse for an omni than for a panel speaker. It might be. It might not. Ask John what he thinks. Even better, rearrange your whole home and life to position the speakers more symmetrically. 😉
