OHM Speakers?


I have owned a pair of OHM I speakers for 20 years. They have done the job for a not so Hi-Fi system. I want to upgrade and am looking into some used OHM Walsh series speakers (Walsh 4/5 and F2). Some have been upgraded to the Mark 2 series drivers. I am looking for information/opinions on the quality of these older WAlsh series versus the new speakers OHM is selling. Thanks for your help....

I had a pair of C2's that I enjoyed very much from 1977 to about 1985. They got put away and, eventually, the surrounds on the drivers disintegrated. I sent the drivers to Ohm about 6 months ago and they sent me refurbished and updated drivers for the C2's for $279. I use them in my HT system and they are quite nice, better in comparison to many new speakers at $1000+ per pair. In addition, I refinshed the very nice walnut cabinets and they look great. Perhaps yours can be similarly updated, if you want to go that route. I have not heard the new Ohm designs but I have been told that they don't hold a candle to the older models. I, for one, was never a fan of the Walsh series, but others may feel differently.
