Are the new Ohm Walsh speakers Audiophile quality?

@mapman, please accept my apologies if my earlier posts came off as curt. It was getting late, and I was getting tired.

I’d caution against assuming the new Ohm’s are like the originals. The originals had true time and phase coherent bending wave Walsh drivers without electronic cross-overs and had circular dispersion. The originals were also less efficient and less durable. As they aged the sound could change.
The new ones don’t have Walsh drivers, are not time and phase coherent or have circular dispersion, add electronic cross-overs, are more efficient, more durable and more consistent over time.

 Is the tweeter time aligned? Doesn’t it have a bass reflex port?
I’d really like to see a step response confirm this.

^i believe the KEF has a second order cross-over and a rear port. In which case: no.

 ^Your points regarding ports are well taken. Yes, I believe that Ohm uses a simple 1st order cross-over to the tweeter which is something of a prerequisite, but there’s more to it.
 The coincident drivers certainly have some advantages, especially for driver integration at the listening position. With the right profile they can also mitigate lobing effects.
 Coherence can be confirmed with an appropriate step response.
