Are the new Ohm Walsh speakers Audiophile quality?

Greetings,

I am considering a pair of current model 2000. Mostly positive reviews. However, found one thread where a few people seem to think the quality is no where near what it was 15+ years ago, especially the quality of drivers.
I keep my systems for 15-10 years, and plan to not have any upgrades during that time. Quality and long term reliability is important to me. 
Any comments from those having both new and old systems?
I would prefer to buy new models for cosmetic purposes. Older ones look too bulky for my taste and my room. So, would rather have new than buy and upgrade older model. 

Thanks much.

Thanks Joe,
I did get to listen to them at someone else's place. Liked them.
The only reservation I have is the quality comments I mentioned.
Cannot make much out of that. I know parts and materials have changed over the years. Many things are made lighter, but that does not necessarily mean worse quality.
That is why I am looking for more educated comments about the built quality and driver/electronics quality.

Understood. I know there's a prolific poster here that has the 2000's with a pair of Vandersteen subs that swears by his Ohms. Perhaps he'll chime in.

FWIW both pair of OHm Walsh I acquired >10 years ago still going strong.  I use a 500w/ch amp and play loud regularly.

Prior I had Walsh 2s I bought in 1982 that were still going strong when I traded them in for the current ones, after ~ 25 years.
