Ohm Walsh 2 v. 2XO

Any feedback on the relative merits of the 2 v. 2XO would be appreciated. A 2XO is up for auction on ebay. I read Ohm site on each (many times). Looking for key general knowledge and these answers: Does "no controls" matter? How much? When? The XO needs "no periodic maintenance". Why? Big plus? Do these models sound different? Thanks.

Marcus-

I hate to see an Ohm thread unanswered. The XO stood for
'extra ouput' I think, and went deeper and louder than the original 2. They also had controls to change the bass output to adapt for different conditions.

A good way to go is to buy a Super 2- S3, which is an old Walsh 2 updated with the newer Series Three driver.

Hopefully, Marty or Mapman wll correct an errors on my part. I'm just learning myself.

Good listening!

actually, I'd hold off a bit. I just got an email from Ohm. They're back from vacation and getting ready to re-launch their website with the new generation of speakers.

You might want to get a refurbished 2 with the new 2000 driver.

Not sure about the cloth though...
