<On the other hand, they went to shit in ten years.>>

The foam on my first pr. of Ohm,s, which were the 4XO's lasted 15 years but only one speaker did the foam go out, (it would buzz at times, that is how i knew something was wrong. So i replaced just the one. Never had any other problem with them. The ones i have now are the 5's, (only about one year old and they out-perform the 4xo's by a good margin. They will more than likly be my last pr. The latest walsh speakers use surrounds that last twice as long (was told by John at Ohm). I still have the old 4XO drivers stored away. If would interested you could make me an offer on them.
