Anyone dislike Ohm Walsh speakers?


Hello,

I live in Southeast Asia in a country where there is no way to audition a pair of Ohm Walsh speakers. I'm looking to buy a pair of Ohm Walsh 2000's for music/home theater. 

I have seen rave reviews about the Ohm Walshs and like the idea of an omnidirectional speaker. But I'm hesitant since I would like this to be my "forever" pair of speakers and am paying $500 for shipping. Has anyone here heard a pair of Ohm Walshs and not liked them? Just trying to figure out my chances of making a purchase that I might regret. Thank you so much everyone!

@unsound -- you're right. I had a pair of the original Ohm Fs back in the mid-1970s.  They had no tweeter, but the cone was made from different materials -- metal at the top to handle highs, but bonded to a paper at the bottom.  Any original A and F speakers are almost certainly non-functional unless rebuilt, and Ohm Speakers hasn't done that for years, though a couple of other companies will do this.

The current Ohms use a more conventional cone, but do include a tweeter, but it is crossed over at a very high frequency, so the main speaker still provides the bulk of the sound.

I have owned W2-100s3 for about 14 yrs. Originally bought original W2s online in MA then sent to John to upgrade before shipping to me in HI. I previously owned Ohm C3s.I also own Kef R3s, Spendor LS3/5, JBL L110, Rogers LS3/5. The Ohms are my favorite for their openness. imaging, bass, easy placemtn and natural sound. My only issue with them is they are not good at low volume/low power for late night listening.thua the Kefs. I also have a wierd, packed room which is also my living room so the omnis work well in that space. For the money I think they are very good The cabinet work is good not great. Ohm Customer Service is good too as JOhn is reposnsive. They did take a number of months to break in and they like good power if you want them to respond best. There are some other speakers I would love to look at but they would all be quite a bit more than these cost, like $8-10K.
