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've owned my OHM Walsh 4's since 1986 so they're my 'forever' speakers.
It's very hard to buy speakers without auditioning them; couldn't agree more.
Here are some tips to help you make your decision:

  • You prefer electrostatics to conventional speakers
  • You enjoy a broad sound stage vs: pin point accuracy
  • You listen to music to be engulfed with the emotion of the performance rather than analyzing the performance
  • You prefer to be lying on a sofa as opposed to sitting in a chair in between two speakers
  • You prefer serious listening  vs: background music
  • You prefer slightly higher volume than lower

Hope this helps.  Angelo
