| 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... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? I've never heard Ohm Fs. I a/b compared the new Series 3 100 drivers versus original Walsh 2 drivers from the early 80's before I purchased the larger f-5s with the Walsh 5 series 3 drivers. The original Walsh 2 drivers had significant and very no... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Unsound,Some purists appear to not buy this, but Ohm clearly builds and uses Walsh design drivers. They are in fact not the same Walsh design as the original A's and F's, the first and somewhat legendary Ohm speakers to apply the Walsh design prin... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Oh well, my sketch doesn't display very clearly does it?Suffice it to say the L shaped room is 27' long and 20 wide at the base only. The top portion of the room is only about 12' wide. Most listening occurs within the 12'wide section, though the ... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? MWR0707,The f-5 series 3s are in approx. a 27X20 foot inverted "L"shape room as sketched below with a thinly carpeted solid concrete floor. I do not measure decibels, but I like music to be played at realistic sound levels, including rock music. I... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Line,I can claim similar results regarding driving the Walsh 5 S3 and Walsh 100 S3 drivers to high volumes with my system. Never a hint of stress or strain!This is just a theory, but since the Walsh drivers take a while to break in to best sound, ... |
