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 a couple pairs.  I've enjoyed them.  I don't currently own any, but always have my eye out for a good deal on used ones, or better yet the sound cylinders.

Not perfect, but do a lot right, fun speaker.  Good bass, big soundstage, solid imaging, coherent.  They don't compress at volume.

Best advice I can give though is "reverse" your room.  You want the speakers on the live end, not the dead end, that, and they do like power.

I have my ohm 2000 for a little over a year and really like them. 20 years ago I had (still have) Vandersteen 2ce sig and a pair of 2wqs. I'm trying to get the 2qws into the mix but not having much luck with crossovers. Reading some of Bondmanp's 2010 posts on his experience is encouraging. Been told to stick with the Vandersteen crossovers but may have to start experimenting with others. Bought a pair of 50k X-2 crossovers with finger crossed but no good. Need 80.   As much as I like the 2000s I can't wait to hear them with the 2wqs

the f5 is a brilliant speaker.  i've been using a pair in my primary system for two years.
