Ohm Walsh Talls (opinions sought)


I demo'd the 1000's at the Ohm factory in Brooklyn several years back. This was way back when I first started my journey into hi end audio. My faint recollection of them was that they were very musical and easy to listen to.

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how they would compare sound wise to the Vandersteen 1ci. Is there anyone out there with experience with both speakers?

Incidentally, I spoke with Jake from Ohm this morning. He said that current lead times are around 5 months and he expects that timeframe to shorten moving forward as they got slammed with orders last summer.

I've just completed the 1st 50 hours of listening / break-in on my Walsh 2000s .   Ordered last August but  well worth the wait .  They now sound great where they are in their temp position in the living room .  I expected and they did sound 'thin'  and lacking some bottom end until about 40 hours in and then started improving.   Now i can't imagine parting with these.  For me the sound is detailed lifelike big image from just about anywhere in the room .  All of this description is probably been said before but you got to experience it to believe it.   My living room is technically too large for the Walsh 2000s based on Ohm's  recommendations.  However,  6.5 on the volume gets me to 75-85 decibels on most material using my meter and sound consistent to me down to 40-50 db .
