The Ohm Walsh speakers are the real deal. I've been loving my 3000's for about 15 months now, driven by a NAD M33. I have a large deep room and the 3000's fill the space like no speakers I've ever heard. It's an open concept room with living room, dinning room and kitchen and the sound is incredible everywhere I stand and sit. Could not be happier with the 300's and the Ohm staff is great to work with. Everything you said in this review is spot on!! Great review and more importantly speaker!
1) I have absolutely ZERO interest in buying speakers as I am a headphone guy.
2) I watch this review, just because the speakers look kind of funny.
3) You manage to entertain me for 34 minutes.
4) I can´t stop thinking about actually buying these now :)
Really happy to be a part of this, Zeos. Keep up the good work forever...
Pretend they are headphones. BIG wood headphones.
Lobster1496 you can't listen to JUST headphones, that's not good for your ears.
Audfile these ain't good for the wallet. Wallet is gone, ears are next to go 😂
I used to be a headphone guy. Then I bought good speakers. Now I'm a speaker guy.
1) Due to my job and private life, I´m only able to listen to music at night -->
2) Living in an apartment --> neighbours would go on a rampage if I´d play music loud at night
3) Have a little daughter --> wife would go on a rampage if I´d play music loud at night
4) I can´t stop thinking about actually buying these anyway :-P
My favorite saying in this video " you go to hot topic and you'll find a lot of different people and go to Harvard and you'll find better people, and both of them suck! " Dont ever change Zeos
I am still on my Walsh 4's from 1985. (First released in the 1970's, when I read about them in stereo magazine). Walnut finish, flared trapezoidal shape. (Ohm went to cylindrical later; apparently, now rectangular.) Listed at the time at $1895 / pair; I got the floor demos at about half that. After 15 years I had to have them re-foamed, have worked perfectly ever since. Highly recommended for main stereo listening room and surround sound.
Your passion is appreciated. I've known of Ohm since the late 70's. Never considered buying a pair until now.
I have the Ohm Walsh 2000's with a yamaha as801 and its amazing stuff... No matter where I walk in my connected kitchen/bar/living room the whole place is filled with magic... there is no loss of impact anywhere I walk... The bass rumbles the walls, picture frames, floor and couch... I was blown away when I first played them and still cant wait for the wife to go grocery shopping so I can just blast away..... The best.... FYI - its my first real two speaker system. My apartment is a catastrophe for a regular setup but these could careless because of the omni-directional...
As a teenager I remember hearing a pair of the ohm A's at a high end stereo store. I remember the sound as being uncannily natural more so than any speaker I had ever heard which included almost everything on the market through the 70's. Jump to about 15 years ago and I learned Ohm speakers were still being made. I took what I thought was a risk and ordered a pair after speaking with them. After I set these up and listened my speaker shopping days were over. I am still in awe of the natural unforced and realistic music coming out of these. The question for me is not that Ohm is still in business but after hearing these why other speaker manufacturers are still in business. Talk to them like I did. They are great people that work in Brooklyn. You can interrupt their day and they won't mind a bit. Totally agree with all comments made here. Tks
Maybe the cat is already deaf.
poor chewbacca
In Gura La Presa no
or she gives actually a shit but still want to be arround her owner
Don't worry, the efficiency of these speakers is less than 80 dB / W
poate :)))
I first heard these as a teen at a college music camp... I've wanted a pair ever since (that was late 90s).
OHM speakers have been around for a fairly long time, yes. I can remember ads in national stereo magazines back in the 70's! They were revolutionary then, and it's great to see them still sounding superb in 2017! When you get the chance, you MUST get a pair of Magnepan MMG's!
@Teknogod17 Great post! I am dying to hear Ohm speakers (never have)!
I've had the Walsh Ohm 4s for 30+ years now and they are amazeballs. I do need to downsize a bit though and I'm eyeing the 1000s. Nice to hear the newer ones are also awesome.
After watching your video I found a pair of Ohm Pro 150's....made in the late 80's....I get it now....these are the best sounding speakers I have ever heard!!!! The sound stage is UNREAL!!!!! I am now spoiled and will never be able to listen to box speakers the same way again.....nothing compares to this design 360 degree sound amazing!!!! this is the sound I have been looking for!!!! Thanks for turning me on to this type of speaker!!!!!!
when you took the hat off to reveal another hat i just died
Heard ohm Walsh 20 years ago in tweeter etc and they blew me away, glad to hear they are still going. I loved not being able to immediately tell what speaker in the test room the sound was coming from :)
God DAMN you Zeos.... MY life goals have just changed. Wife, kids, house... NO, I must have THESE.
Other ones are over-rated.
Amen.
How are the Walsh 3s? Thinking of buying a pair
I had a home theater system i designed around an onkyo amp and infinity speakers. It was sic.
I had a polk audio sub and it was a bit over kill as it was just for my living room because the infinity towers were doing 30 hz . Yeah you definitely know whats good brother .
I remember them, The Absolute Sound had a review way back in late 70;s !
Walked into a record store today, heard the most amazing full, rich, clear, magnificent sound I’ve ever heard AND imaging like I’ve never experienced. Seemed that regardless of where I stood, the music sounded amazing. I turned around to find a pair of these fairly small (from the 70s I’m guessing) speakers and could not believe all that sound was coming from just TWO stereo speakers 🤯
Ironically I had watched your review of them months and months ago, so I knew exactly what I was looking at. Had a 45min discussion with the store owner about them and how special we thought they were.
They now have a firm place on my bucket list!
Which speakers?
The Ohm Speaker website should have a disclaimer, "It's not the size of the clarinet that matters, it's how you play it."......
Hey sir, thank you for the review, I'm a gen x guy fortunately my dad was a thorough part time audiophile. I d grew up seeing the OHM speakers and had the fortune of owning two pairs thanx to dad in the mid 90s while in college we found a pair of Walsh 2 ohm from early 80s and then he found a pair of the old original GRANDDADDYs the OHM F s from the the 70s with the old tall from the designer Lincoln Walsh driver, released just after his death from my understanding. They were all cool and I loved my Walsh 2 s kept for years. The BiG Fs were still sweet too but the drivers suspension was worn out. I enjoyed them, but thanx for on this review my fellow audio brethren I didn't know OHM was still functioning!!😎👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🎶
Yeah, they say that bass isn't directional. But, at what frequency does it *actually* become non-directional. A set of über hifi full-range speakers beats a satellite / sub setup hands down every time.
I have the 80's version - FRS-15's and they are great sounding. One of the main pluses is the sound travels through the house without little loss of volume or detail (open plan).
I think chewbacca is worried because your talking to yourself all the time.
I can upvote but not comment.
*you're
i believe that is the wrong correction. My grammar is correct lol
She looks at him like "there he goes talking to himself again, waiving his hands about, pulling off the speaker grills and pointing at the drivers. Always pointing in the center of the two speakers especially after he flips them upside down"
nope. 'You are' becomes you're, not your.
Most amusing audio equipment review I’ve ever seen. Saw ad for vintage Ohm speakers, research led me to this video. Considering getting the vintage ones, but might try some modern ones instead
"An Attainable Joy" says it all! Thank you Zeos for turning us on to OHM!
I have Ohm C2 speakers from the 70's that still sound amazing.
We all want to know how the small ones of these compare to the previous 'best speakers ever' the JBL Studio 530??
I was able to enjoy an original pair of these for over a year in 1975. I had a home for 3 years and my roommate was a bartender with a few side jobs (smile) and he had a hard on for the system used at the burger chain Ground Pati. When he moved in he had 2 Phase Linear amps, think Carver pre-Amp, Marantz tuner, Thorens turntable (don't remember cartridge) but instead of the Bose 901's, he came in with a pair of the Ohm F's that he was talked into by the local hi-fi audio dealer. I think he paid $800 each--an unheard of sum in those days. Once the system was tuned correctly (and believe me it took days to tune it right) the sound took your breath away. I can't afford to be an audiophile, but the year he lived with me, I enjoyed the most amazing sound ever. And the living/dining room was large and "L" shaped, but alone or with the room full, every place you sat was the sweet spot. He usually only played mint MFSL vinyl or he also had a TEAC R2R so he didn't want just any vinyl played on his system. I remember him putting on a new copy of Savoy Brown's Street Corner Talking (one of the worst mixed-engineered albums I have ever heard) and he made his policy as soon as he ripped that disc into the trash can. I have been to audio shows and heard amazing equipment since then, but I must say I never heard anything sound so amazing. The Ohm F's were absolutely the magic behind this system. It sounded so good that I could appreciate listening to an artist I despised like the Bee Gee's Saturday Night Fever, Journey, or Styx because the sound was that damn good. No doubt; it has left that memory from 41 years ago still sweet in my mind.
A good setup can definitely leave a lasting impression. It's really imperative to match the amp with the speakers in terms of character and frequency response. One amp can make a set of speaker sound irritating while another will make them sing so sweetly.
When you look back on your life, you'll regret the things you didn't do more than the ones you did.
If they make you happy they are already an amazing value!
hi Zeos, i am in the market for the walsh 1000 , thanks for this review, i watched an interview with the owner on how they are made in NYC and the history of the company, they are a bargain.
That 8" downfiring driver really makes it for me. I want a pair of these. A true full range speaker.
@ brydon : For example the full range omnidirectional GERMAN PHYSIKS UNICORN MKII. A real full range speaker: No crossover but with basshorn. The driver is a cone-shaped 3 gram extremely stiff 0.15mm carbon membrane called DDD driver.
German Quality and relatively affordable for high end for living room.
I have a pair of their E2s from the 90s. They get surprisingly good low end for the size. Great speakers you can pick up cheap.
Walsh’s speakers have been blowing away unpretentious music lovers for over 40 years.
My first experience with them was back in 1982. Because they didn’t test well, the audiophile snobs ignored them. Until now.
(The other Omni you were referring to is the Mirage Omnisat)
The best soundstage speaker I ever had.
Was a homebuild speaker set I made as a teenager, it was 2 cubes hanging down from the sealing.
Very easy and cheap to make, it had 6 x 4 inch paper fulltone speakers, one on each side of the cube.
No filter was needed.
So 2 cubes hanging down, in a stereo setup.
The WAF factor was terrible bad, but the soundstage was OMG.
The music did not come from some where, it was IN the room.
Ever speaker I had since then was just as if it missing something, no matter the prize and how large they were.
It had what paper speakers have, that directness..............
$2,800 is a steal for speakers that sound much better than spkrs costing more than double that. $2,800 is nothing in the world of HiFi. They sound huge, even through YT, and you can’t escape great sound no matter where you are. A small electric fence around your gear works well when having a party, btw. Now, go warm yourself by the fire.
Great review, dude! Very thorough. Thank you! 🎶🔊🙂
I was shocked and pleased to hear some good reggae music coming from your test sound 😄 I am from Jamaica and I'm a videophile/audiophile. Love the video! I just subscribed
Funny review. I thought every stereo enthusiast has heard of Walsh Ohm's. They're considered one of the most innovative designs of all time. Very famous speakers. I first heard the Walsh 5's almost 30 years ago. Great speakers.
Exactly! Ohm speakers have been around a long time! I can remember audiophiles in the 70's running their FISHER 500C tube receivers (popular units in the 60's) into Ohm Walsh speakers, and ranting and raving back then! Of course, the late 60's through the early 80's were 'The Golden Age of HI-FI'! We're talking beautifully crafted, large 'boat anchor' receivers (with large transformers to boot) with great FM sections, speakers the size of doors, and analog sound via LP's. What an era that was!
I know! He says he knows everything about everything yet never heard of Ohm. He should be reviewing washing machines. Actually after 5 minutes he is annoying, both the tone of his voice and style.
I had a pair of Walsh ones. Unique sound for sure. Seems like they require a boatload of power to work well and a sub is mandatory.
When I started watching your videos you were reviewing Dayton speakers in that little attic room. Look at you now high roller lol.
Onward and upward.
The Dayton B652 AIRS (with the AMT 'ribbon' tweeter) sound fantastic, especially the mids and highs. I have a pair in my garage, and have had some enjoyable listening moments even in that grimy, junk filled room using my FiiO 'lossless' player and a cheap stereo!
And now he’s even moving to a proper HOME
I'm super happy to have found your channel. I've gotta say you're the Dirty Sanchez of speakers!
As a musician, getting into hifi your channel isn't super technically advanced but the enthusiasm definitely pushes me to learn more.
Thanks!
The Spanish fly of audiophiles?
How do they sound at low listening levels? Some speakers only sound good once they get going and I wanted these for a bedroom for nighttime listening. Thanks!
If setup priooperly they are flawless at all volumes. Low volume is a complaint when speakers are not placed properly.,
I miss my Ohm i speakers that were connected to two Nikko Alpha 440 amps , but soon my Ohm Walsh 2000 in rosewood should be arriving, i was already sold on them, your review made me pull the trigger n get them
hey dude, did you get your 2000 now? How are they? How is the bass?
MBL is the fully omni I was trying to remember.
MBL
NFL
When i first read that I thought it was MFLB lol
Whatre the odds you get a pair of their Radialstrahler for review?
You obviously like the Walsh's better than the Buchardt S300. But which ones are less bright and less fatiguing?
I first heard Ohm speakers back in late 70's sounded fantastic back then.
'The best' 'best ever' 'THE BEST SPEAKERS IVE EVER LISTENED TO' 'These are the best'
First hifi speakers we ever bought were Ohm Model L bookshelf speakers. That was in 1981, I think. So, the 90s roll around and CDs became all the rage with their large dynamic range. One would think you'd have to buy a totally new set of speakers and pitch your Ohm Model L's. Uh uh! Ohm provided an upgrade path for the little Model L's via a sub-bass activator and new woofers that were better cooled to deal with the transients coming off of CDs. :) It's a pleasure to support a company like Ohm. IMHO
Z reviews got me to buy the jbl studio 530 and I love them
My DBX soundfield VI's also have middle-of-room angled tweeters and 15" rear firing woofers which really transforms the soundstage. They definitely fill the whole room and even sends sound dripping into other rooms. 200w max and you can bi-amp them.
$1,000 a pair brand new.
Great review as always, really liked it!
Oh wait, I haven't watched one bit of it yet.
Nice Hachiroku.
A buddy was gifted some speakers from his uncle. They were from the 70's and where about 3x3 feet with a slight curve from top to bottom. They enclosed about 7 speakers each. Bass was decent but the thing that got me was the spacial presence they provided. You thought that they were really loud but it was the way they were producing the sound. You never really had to go above 8 on the dial. The thing was that you really needed a properly powered reciever/amp to power them. Wish I remembered the name.
Love how you say best speakers ever with every set of speakers you review
Cameron Dougherty I know and then I go and buy it😬
It has been a while since an OVERALL best was crowned. I have to find SOMETHING that a speaker does best vs others. Some don't do anything best while this does it all.
snibbdibb "overpriced", what?
Wheels Henderson wat
Wheels Henderson they aren't overpriced at all, especially if you've got any experience with speakers. doesn't sound like you do. And hopefully you're not one of these people who think everything needs to be stamped out of plastic in China by a pennies an hour slave so we can call it "reasonably priced" cause that's how it works friend. High tech omnidirectional speaker that doesn't need subs in a real hardwood veneer? Good luck topping that.
When I was in high school, I heard these at a hifi shop and was mind blown. I went home and took apart my beloved Infinity 10.2’s and took out the main bass driver and inverted it outside the cabinet.
everything is the best
Haruyou is the BEST.
The speakers are nice, but.....when are you going to review Chewbacca?
Been there, Done that. Look for it.
Thank you very much...I will.
Love the cat, loved the vid. But you teased the depressing cat video, now I want that. Have you ever considered declawing the cat when she was young?
I used to own a pair in the 80s. Great sounding speakers back then
"Little Sally and Timmy can't stick their stinking...fnnngkcher into these!" Aaahhh!
You had me at "unescapable imaging machine." (22:00)
I remember these from the 70's. I believe they also did P.A. 'columns'. Pronounced O. H. M. if I remember correctly. Never heard of them since. Leave it to the Z to uncover them :)
I have them on my list of future purchases. I have been aware of Ohm since I was a teenager in the 70's. Thank you for the nice review. I will pick up a pair of 2000 next year. Currently I have a pair of Zu Audio Druid MKIV 2006 models. My love for these goes back decades.
All this time i had no idea that wall was brick...
Just hooked up my new old Ohm Walsh 2xo's. thank you Z. I can hear what your talking about now, for once.
New Old.. Explain!
Saw the video you made. Looked on craigslist. And contacted the guy. Pair of 2xo's in rare piano black. Looked after well and serviced. Perfect condition. Also he refused to sell them online at risk of damage, so lucky me lived 15 minutes away. Also he gave me a 80% working onkyo badass 50 lb. receiver and two pair of awsome bi polar and tri polar surround speakers. And packaged them with rugs and drapes also free. Best day ever. Knew your videos would change my life. Not sure it would happened that soon. Thanks
lol.. if you like these, look for the original FRS series speakers.. I have had a set of 1981 FRS-11's for the last 17 years.. a friend of mine has a set of 1990 FRS-15's and they are just unreal.. look around, you can find them at inexpensive prices.. Walsh-Ohm are the best kept secret in audio..
MY friend was Tweeter Etc's highest selling salesman one year, he kept a pair of Ohm Walsh 2's just to show people how bad there were. As bad as many Bose products.
Not surprised a salesman could make something sound bad to promote another product.
I've owned a pair of Ohm Walsh speakers since the mid 80s. They are still part of my home theater.
I just found a pair of the original Walsh 2 in incredible conditions for $150!!!!!
Nice to see this confirmation for the toe-in centering trick. That's what I came up with myself when I was imagining how it might be best to orient the speakers to create the best experience for a wide couch full of people in front of the same screen. If you think carefully about it it's relatively easy to come to the conclusion that if you turn both speakers completely toward the center person (or even more, according to the above) you will be helping the people at the edges by compensating for the uneven speaker distances via orientation (muffling the closer speaker and clearing up the farther one). All it requires is that the treble sweet spot (or rather "sweet cone") be relatively narrow and not omnidirectional, which for most speakers isn't a problem anyway. It won't be perfect, since this only works at high frequencies, but it will be better than nothing (i.e. pointing the speakers straight forward).
I always feel like someone is watching me through your windows...
i had a pair of ohm frs-11 back in the 90s. they rocked!
You're a bad man, Z. I want these now.
I picked up a set of Ohm Walsh 4's from the 80's, they really is something amazing about them. I have found that my favorite listening position is directly between the speakers, it feels like a cone of silence forms and you are suspended within the song. it really is quite an experience.
you found the magic - I have a pair of Walsh 2s and a pair of microWalsh speakers - awesome owner and great service!
korling99 I just picked up some 2’s!
Sam Well how do you like them?
Rico Suave I like them a lot actually. They aren’t very efficient speakers so you’ll need to power them well. But at 4ohms that’s not bad. They work extremely well for home theater. They need a sub. On their own they don’t produce much bass. I want to know how much better their new stuff performs. I’m sure it’s so much better.
damn man i was about to get a monitor audio bronze 5 setup but i might just save up and wait....can you bi wire them?
Rico Suave that I can’t speak on. I have been powering mine with a regular avr 100wpc @ 8ohms. I believe mine ask for 125w so I’m well above that in 2ch. Maybe the newer ones require more power? Check their site.
The first speakers I ever owned were Ohm C2 bookshelf’s bought in 1978. I still have them but they are damaged. Amazingly, I can still get parts from Ohm if I want to take on the restoration project.
yay, now I just have to find a way to get them from NY to Europe!
Concorde. Only the best.
As a pilot, you just hit me right in the feels. Best reply to a comment ever.
I've known about these beauties since the 70's!!
I stopped watching when I saw these beasts cost $1400... EACH. No need to tempt myself into another impulse purchase.
Only the best for snake..
I hear ya, but this isnt the LSR305 - *any* problem with the build quality or anything else, and Mr Z knows exactly where the guy who built the speakers lives. There's a vid on YT where a guy has to pull his LSR308's apart to fix a loose driver that steadily drives him crazy - at every stage of the teardown you can hear him muttering 'OK, that's why they cost $x ....'. I'm not bagging JBL or anyone else who has their speakers built offshore - thats just good business practice in 2017 - but personally I have no interest in disassembling a new product simply because the manufacturer needed to shave a few USD off the price to keep the beancounters happy. For all I know these sound like shinola in my room - or yours - but there is a lot to be said for knowing that the people who built your speakers actually give a shit. Kudos to Ohm just for surviving in an uber-competitive market - I prefer active designs but I enjoyed Z's review.
SnakePlissken they're totally worth it, just don't pay your rent and car payment and you'll be able to afford these in no time.
Better yet, move into your car and kill two birds with one paycheck ! Oh, wait .......
At the ends Snake does whatever he wants to.
Great info you've given us brother. It's good to see honest , passionate , knowledgeable, and god bless chewie
Goddamned long ass review Zeos but entertaining and informative been looking to make my own movie sound system these are a bit expensive but thanks for the review.
These work almost like my Advent 2 speakers from the 70's. The way the tweeters are set is weird, Left side-1 tweeter fires center at the roof the other fires away at the ground;Right side-1 tweeter fires center at the ground the other fire up and way. The sound field sound good everywhere. The woofers are kind-of ported the case isn't ported but air can pass thru the dust caps. Also the more reflective surfaces that are around it the better, put the speakers in the corner, even better. And they where defiantly worth the $20 i paid for them
Kudos for the Hook soundtrack, still one of my favourite movies, even as an adult!
Father brought home a Laserdisc player and a copy of Hook. Special times
I used to build competition car audio systems with the tweeters mounted on the side of the footwell and angled up towards the center of the cars roof. The imaging always blew the judges away. I never thought about that technique used in home audio. Makes sense though.
I auditioned a pair of these in the early 80's and put them on my OMFG wish list immediately. They look the same as they did back then but I am sure they have improved since my old Hippie ass heard them! They were way out of my price range then and they are still a bit steep but within reach if I sell some cannabis or my first born . (All legal in my state of California). I had my choice of new speakers pretty well set on SVS Ultra Towers after months of online investigation. Now you have piqued my interest on these with this review on these Ohm Walsh beauties of which I had completely forgotten about the Brand and the great sound I recalled from my audition so many years back. Jesus on a bicycle , thanks for opening this can of worms back up after I had made up my mind. Please don't apologize for rambling on your review. You and I share a kindred excitement and enthusiasm when it comes to electronics and I dig listening as you talk about products the same way I do. Watching your reviews is like having a close friend whose judgement I trust that uses the same vernacular rather than someone spouting endless stats and attempting to impress me with their sophistication and how cool they are. It was your review of the SVS Ultra Bookshelf speaker and your sound demo that convince me to check out and eventually settle on the Towers after months of fretting over my decision. Now you come up with these to confuse the issue (you bastard)! I still wonder about Home Theater and a 5.1 set up with these and how the omnidirectional aspect will work.
GREAT review! I will be ordering my pair soon. Thank you
I watched all 34 + minutes 👍 amazing wow wow I don't care if they are $2800 it's still very interesting to see how they preform 👍👍👍
Great job 😎
Been checking in on your periodically progress is astounding
Shit. Now I have to buy these.........
I love my Walsh Ohm 3s....now I am thinking of sending them to Walsh to get them upgraded
brb selling kidney
Semi omni is great cos that's how live music is. Some instruments are directional (like trumpets) and some are completely omni directional (like cymbals). So semi omni speakers are a good compromise and make the music sound more realistic. I have semi omnis that I built. They have a 30 degree slanted 6.5" woofer and a 4" coaxial (time aligned) 2- way driver on the top also sloped 30 degrees. Both the woofer and the 4" coaxial have a spread horn above. And (like yours) my speakers never sound muffly anywhere in the room and yet are directional enough for clear defined sound when in front of the speakers.
When you have to stop your brother from pulling out their wallet on the spot, I'm surprised it wasnt you emptying out your pockets.
I am now. Time to pay the piper.
*_I'm buying these based on Z's recommendation. The only man who can sell me on a product and the gold standard when it comes to authentic, no bullshit audio advice, the rest are just industry pimps. Much love from all your many loyal fans in beautiful Bangor, Maine where recreational marijuana is legal, home prices are still some of the lowest in the entire nation, auto insurance is the lowest in the entire nation and the scenery is absolute nirvana._*
Even on my Curaçao holiday. I take the time to watch a half hour Zeos review.
i like you man, good quality content
You have wheel barrow sized balls. Love your honesty. IDGAF seems to be your mantra. Refreshing candor. My new favorite UA-camR
they sound especially good with classic tubes
Just now seeing this video. I'm looking for speakers for my tube amp that puts out 45w. Would you recommend any of the OHMs?
I used to own Carver Amazing. My first dipole speaker. i sold them and listened to EVERY speaker I could find. I was never satisfied with direct firing speakers again. I settled on Mirage OM-6, an "omnipolar" tower with powered subwoofer section. My next speaker was going to be OHM, but they JUMPED in price and I thought they were too expensive. You loose the stereo imaging, but get that full sound. stereo everywhere. I am still considering them, as I have know about them for YEARS, and they are a great speaker, but they haven't changed much in appearance, but I am sure the drivers have been improved dramatically. It is going to be OHM or Martin Logan ESL X speakers. ENJOY you will never be happy with a direct firing speaker again, they will sound flat.
Go Ohm or Go home?
The Carver Silvers were 'amazing'! That piano black finish and those ribbons were hardon material for sure! And OMG, their sound! With the right equipment (very power hungry), they were magical!
Ohm 2000 or Martin Logan ESL - X ??(i am going the X version with 2 sub drivers and little bigger panel). Is room placement easy with OHM? Obviously you went with OHM over Martin Logan , you like them better? THANKS
Those subs are sweet.
I remember the mighty Ohm Walsh 5, and it was an incredible speaker, I didn't know they were still in business. The Ohm Walsh 5 clipped a fair number of amps and the dealers that sold them didn't play them loud, but just loud enough so that you could here them play Omni directional, but I remember hearing an amp clip with one pair and the dealer yelled " what have I done!!
You don't know I can't hear dog whistles, Z, you don't know!!!!
Congrats on your find. I got hooked on the Ohms about 12 years ago after owning about 40 pairs of speakers over the previous 30 years. I haven't looked back since. Upgraded to the 3000 drivers on older 200 cabinets a couple years ago. More definition on the highs. As you noted, they need some power to work at their optimum level
Mike Masztal do you use them mainly for music or home theatre? I'm looking to get some but would be mostly home theatre and gaming. Looking to get as much info as possible thanks!
I use for 2 channel only. I can imagine their quasi-omni dispersion would work well in a HT application.
Great review, could you possible review something from Magnepan or KEF?
Kef soon enough. Enough people have beg'd.
Great videos in general, keep it up. What happened to the pair of Jamo C 93s I saw on one of your desks in another recent video?? PLEASE
I hope they get rekt. Set the world on fire, Z.
That would be amazing , so torn, LS50 or R300. LS50 look funky and have tech but R300 in black piano finish, so nice and probably more low end.
Phase linearity is what all three pursue.
I've owned several Maggies and sold KEF and Ohm's for years.
I prefer the Maggies.
Main difference: Ohm's rear wave is IN phase. KEF only has a lower frequency rear wave OUT of phase.
Maggies have the whole spectrum OUT of phase.
The room has LESS negative effects.
I think no matter what speakers or headphones we buy we love them because they sound different at first. Then we try something else and love them because they are different sounding and so the loop continues
Happens a lot! Then a few months after the purchase the excitement is gone and off to dreaming about the next "best" loudspeaker. Many times this hobby becomes a disease of chasing the next new best thing.
I inherited a pair of these from my dad who said they cost him 250.00 each back in '83. they still sound great.
i grew up with a pair a Walsh 2's....my dad bought in 1982, he had always wanted some since the Original Walsh which is different than the new Walsh, but the new 82- and beyond are outstanding...i think im going back to my roots probably a pair of Micro Talls or 1000's...1 of the best companies to deal with period....
Get the 1000's.. I have the micro's here. They don't have the size to support the magic.
I was thinkin about the 1000's more so...they definetly match my room better.....
can you make a spotify playlist?
