Walsh 4 owner here... since 1986!
Yes there has been 3 generations since mine but I believe that the #1 change is the vent (which is at the bottom of the cabinet venting into the floor in my model) now vents into a wood base which is also the cabinet platform.
My older model is sensitive as to what it vents into, i.e. hardwood floor, thick dense carpet, shag carped, etc. This has a major effect on bass quantity and quality.
Current models are therefor more acoustically predictable than mine.
The following is what hasn’t changed between my Walsh 4’s and the current Walsh 3000....
10" time coherent downward facing driver
1" soft dome super tweeter
1st order Butterworth crossover @ 8K Hz( 6 db per octave)
6 ohm impedance
Sub Bass Activator @ 60 Hz (basically a passive equalizer)
weight: 63 lbs.
