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!

I tried the 5000's for a month and returned them.  Comments from @circusdevil are spot on.  The veneer on mine were also bubbling.  I thought the bass response was really weak in my room.

Shipping them back was not cheap.

 

@bondmanp It may have been closer to two months.  I worked with them for about a month with positioning and adjusting switches but the bass was always muddy to me.  The build quality was really subpar for speakers in that price range (8-9K).

They were very helpful but the speakers and my ears and eyes just didn't gel.
