Hi, everyone!
I have been on the search for my first pair of "real" loudspeakers for a long stretch of years, and I've decided to finally take the plunge. I do not have, by any means, "a well-trained ear." I just love good sound and want to appreciate it more fully now that I have a little more time to do so, and I have never really had an opportunity to experience high-quality speakers. I had never really looked into alternative designs much until a friend who used to install home theaters mentioned the Mirage OMDs that he uses in his setup.
The omni idea of wide dispersion peaked my interest, and after a few days of reading around I stumbled onto the Ohms. More looking into them led to this thread, and, after a couple weeks, I've managed to wade through the entire thing. Upon mention of my interest in Walshes, my friend wrinkled his nose slightly, cocked his head, and said he didn't think the difference would really be worth the money. I decided to ignore his opinion for now.
Yesterday, I took the first big step, called John, and ordered a pair of 1000's with rosewood veneer to put to trial. They should be on their way in about three weeks! Hopefully, my friend will be willing to let me hook up the Walshes next to his system (after break-in, of course) to do a direct comparison.
I'm certain I saw a couple of mentions or comparisons here and there regarding the Ohm Walshes and Mirage OMD line, but I was wondering if any of you wonderful gentlemen have had the opportunity to do a side by side or have much experience with both of these speakers, and wouldn't mind refreshing me on your thoughts.
I'm interested in your various impressions between the two, technically, sonically, and otherwise.
Thank you all for this amazingly abundant resource.
