Is anyone thinking about building Walsh drivers?

I'm hoping to start a discussion that is not charged with emotion that may be useful to folks seeking to build Walsh transmission line drivers.
Any of you out there played with this seriously?

Enjoyed your threads over on the "other DIY forum". Hi Map, how are you doing these days?

I still enjoy the pics of your Ohms, especially the pair in F cabinets. Always liked those! Glad too that your Bel Cantos are doing such a sterling job for you as well. Jerry, yes I am certainly aware of the "Walsh Affliction", it catches some of us often.

With my Larsen Model 4's, I do have them sitting atop Base isolation platforms from the UK, and then a set of four SD footers between the Base platform and bottom of the speaker cabinets. Seems to work a treat. I am on a slab with laminate wood flooring, which can be an interesting thing to deal with at times, depending on speaker. My Obelisks seem more screwed up n the bass end on this floor. Something I still haven't totally worked out but getting there!

I did peruse your stuff of late over on DIY. Nice to see you still working away on them! Hopefully your endeavors will continue to reap rewards for you. Sorry I don't have more comments really, but it is of interest. I guess I just take more of a hands off approach these days, although your efforts do once in awhile provoke me to think about doing some of my own "playing around"-although you are far from that lowly stage at this point. Carry on sir! Crickets be damned....

As I take it, he wasn't alive to actually see/hear it make production(This based on what I have read, not saying it is exact). Certainly a man ahead of his time on the Walsh I think, quite an incredible achievement. So carry on Jerry, one never knows!

I have had to be at work-which I am thankful for, but wow, what a mental drain. One day at a time! Interesting on what your European friend is working on there, really nice looking cones created there! Nothing like creativity allowed to flow freely! Nice mixdown tunes too! Yes, it all ought to keep you pumping! Be well Jerry, thanks for the post!

Trust all is well with you down south!
