Ohm Speakers, thoughts?
Sean has owned the Ohm F's and loves them. I own the Ohm 4.5 MX II and love them. But Sean has never owned the latest Ohm's and I have never owned the F's. So Sean nor I really knows which are better. Agreeing is not the same as experiencing.

Sorry Bart, got carried away, did mean to do that. Funny how one thing leads to another.

I also think it's ugly; the older models look good to with that trapezoid cabinet.

I have the Walsh 4.5 Mk II and find them so very easy to live with. There is no divorce in sight, I am in love.I heard the F's some 40 years ago and did not have the coin in which to buy. What I have never come across is an A/B listening test betw...

I would like to shear one more thing. Unlike most setups, the Walsh sound much better to me on the long. The room is 24'x 14.5', ceiling height is 8.5' and the speakers are 12' apart (center to center). If I sit center stage, I am 12' from each sp...

speakers that aren't large, driven by amps that aren't high-powered -- both of which are common in this hobby -- can't really get that done for the most part.I once owned full range electrostatics's (acoustat 2+2's), I did not keep them long. Did ...

Macrojack, How do you know that your cabinet does not produce any sound? How did you test for this? After reading some of this thread I did a little experimenting. First I tried to feel vibration on the cabinet with my fingers and could not feel a... 
Walsh Ohm 100 MKII; anybody owned these?
One of my favorite reviewer's description of the Ohms is the fact that they "energize the room", which sums up your impressions. I feel like most speakers sort of shout at you saying "look at me!" but in my opinion that's not what live music sound...

[QUOTE]..."The problem involves lowering the sonic contribution of the speaker cabinet, which at some frequencies can amount to 40% of the overall sound emitted by the speaker"...[END QUOTE]Try this some time...Next time your listening to music, p... 
Walsh Ohm 100 MKII; anybody owned these?
I also have the old model cabinet, the 4XO cabinets with the Walsh 5 Mk-2 drivers on them. These drivers do indeed like lots of power, I use the Sunfire Signature amp. which is rated at 600 WPC at 8 ohms and when I have the volume set at realistic...
