Ohm Walsh speakers in the 21st century

Back in the seventies I had a pair of Ohm Walsh 7’s. They were big and bold and could really fill a room with amazing sound. Now, I’m thinking about redoing my system and an old friend asked me about getting Walsh again.  Does anyone here have or at least heard the new line of Walsh Tall speakers? I’ve read they now have a tweeter in them and that they are dampened on the back.

Any input would be appreciated.

mapman,
 I did spend about an hour digging around here trying to find out about their newer line, the “Tall” 1000-5000 series and found very little. The new ones have a tweeter and are dampened in the back.  That was the info I wanted to hear about from people who have them.

Thanks mapman.

 I’m going to call them next week and ask what amps they recommend and see if they’re sold in Midwest.  I’d really like to hear the difference between the five models.

Thanks uncleang for the comparison.  What ever I get has to fill a 18’X22’ totally carpeted room with two solid walls a two mostly open walls.

All the best.

uncleang,
I was thinking the 3000 or the 4000 and running them with a Dynaco Stereo 400.  I’m thinking about recapping it, but we’ll see how it sounds first.

Wow! 
You are correct, they were the F’s.  I wonder where I came up with 7?  I built a couple of Halfler DH 220’s bridged and their preamp in 1980 and in 82-2(?) I built the 400. The bridged Halfers listed more watts, but the Dynaco made the Ohms sing.  As I said earlier, I gonna have to pop the top and check most of the caps.  I wonder if there’s update videos on YouTube?
