| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Tonal balance will vary with location based on room acoustics as is the case with any speaker. All rooms are different and affect sound differently. I think I can say with confidence that the best results with tonal balance is most likely to occur... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? MWr0707,One thing I'm realizing with the Ohms is that I think an easy and sound way to determine best placement is to think of your room as a concert hall and identify where in the room you would place the performers in the room if they were playi... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? With both my Walsh2 S3's in a 12X12 room and my f5 S3's in an L shaped ~27X20 foot room, I've found the soundstage and imaging is best defined with the speakers at least 2-3 feet away from any wall (proportionally further in a larger room perhaps)... | |
| What am I missing using a 20 year old CD player?? Good point psacanli.No point in investing in really good equipment without first assuring good power conditioning! | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? I wonder if anyone out there has ever tried to custom-build a 2-way, downward firing OHM CLS-like design using conventional drivers where the bass driver sits on top of the enclosure and fires downward, and if so what were the results? Has any own... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? I found a wikipedia entry for Lincoln Walsh to help answer some of my own questions.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_WalshIt provides some info regarding the relationship between Lincoln Walsh, his speaker designs, and others including Ohm and... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Unsound, I believe I clearly stated that the two are different designs.CAn we agree that they are similar in certain ways? I'm just trying to understand exactly how the two are the same and how different since I may never be able to hear them toge... | |
| What am I missing using a 20 year old CD player?? I would agree that overall CD recordings have improved greatly as a whole.Still there were still some good recordings back in the 80's, weren't there? For example, I've heard some good Denon and GRP recordings from that era recently that sound pre... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Two additional questions for Dale:1) Do you sell Walsh drivers designed specifically for the modified (now ported) Ohm f5 cabinet?2) When I read your description of the Walsh driver, it is not clear to me why a Walsh driver is not pistonic. IT sou... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Oh, well, I'm back for at least one more go-round!Could "piston" the CLS piston drivers used in Ohms Walsh line speakers actually be an improvement in some ways in regards to sound as well as perhaps in reliability over even a perfectly functionin... | |
| What am I missing using a 20 year old CD player?? CD digital technology has come a long way in 20 years. It was pretty new back then. Digital sources are one type of audio component where I shy away from older used or vintage pieces because most new technolgy tends to improve significantly over a... | |

| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? I think this will be my last comment on this thread.I've always desired a pair of Ohm F's or A's in proper working condition. My only reservation would be the common assertion that they were not made to be played at very high decibel levels, which... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? TEchnically, Ohm does refer to the drivers in their "Walsh" product line as "Coherent Line Source" (CLS) drivers on their web site, not as Walsh Drivers. My understanding is the CLS drivers incorporate design principles that were realized in Ohms ... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Dale harder, you sound like a true affectionado of the Walsh sound as am I, at least the ones that I am familiar with!Aren't the Ohm Walsh drivers, which radiate from the back of the driver mounted vertically as do Ohm Fs, truly omnidirectional ev... |
