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!

@oldhyvmec: I have the Infinity Monitors with the Walsh "ice cream cone" tweeters on top! Used them in the past with a Son of Ampzilla! Impressive indeed with 12" woofers in a quasi-transmission line cabinet and Peerless dome midranges!
I'm also rockin' with the Ohm Walsh Sound Cylinders - 8" Walsh driver firing down into a ported cabinet with a dome tweeter at 8K firing up!
My biggest dislike is the horrible build quality ,I helped a guy upgrade the Xover ,what pure garbage parts , even a electrolytic 
capacitor which is a cardinal sin fir a Loudspeaker Xover .
and even the drivers all China specials , if you spend A few $hundreds on parts in the Xover you can get them to sound nigh5 and day better.
Jason I remember they had really good mids they were an easy listen because the tweeters didn't boil my ears. The bass was deep but correct for the time (70s) and the music we were listening to.

Surely rock & roll or Funk ALL LOUD. James Brown or Led Zeppelin. :-)

I've seen the different Toppers on a few DIY projects through the years and as 2nd and 3dr drivers. 3 or 4 total per side at different heights..

I remember they were hung like lanterns. It was in Marin county north of SF. First time I heard VMPS bass speakers too.. I met the owner there his van broke down.. That worked out well..

I like different..
About to hit year 12 with my 2000s.  No desire to change these for anything anywhere near the price, even the new higher price.  FWIW, I bought them without hearing them first.  Once broken in, they are fantastic, IMHO.
