Ohm Walsh Talls (opinions sought)

I cannot comment about the smaller Ohm Walsh talls, and I can’t compare them to a lot of other speakers because I was sold on Ohm Walsh for my difficult room when I bought a used pair of Ohm Walsh 4s.  But I totally second the praises sung above for the 5000’s.  I got the 4-5000 upgrade.  The adjustability is wonderful.  Mine are pretty much in the corners of a narrow but very deep room with windows all along one 40 plus foot long wall.  I’ve got the bass set for medium sized room, and turned off the subs.  Even at moderate volume, the sound is massive.  This is not to say the vocals of the Cranberries lose any of their ethereal quality, but over 70db at my listening positions and the music is physically experienced.  The 5000’s are notches above the 4’s of the 80’s.  Percussion, if that’s your thing, is amazing.  I think I’ll put on War’s “The World is a Ghetto” and crank The Cisco Kid.  I can feel it already.

Agree the adjustability of my larger Ohm F5s make all the difference to get best results I most any room. Mine are series 3 from ~ 2008 and the newer drivers are mounted in older refurbed Ohm F cabinets.

See my system pics here :

Note the pics showing the level adjustment controls on the F5 and the diagram from Ohm which shows the unique and proprietary controlled wide dispersion pattern of the Ohm Walsh CLS driver.  Nothing else out there like that.  Happy  to answer any questions.  

I've just completed the 1st 50 hours of listening / break-in on my Walsh 2000s .   Ordered last August but  well worth the wait .  They now sound great where they are in their temp position in the living room .  I expected and they did sound 'thin'  and lacking some bottom end until about 40 hours in and then started improving.   Now i can't imagine parting with these.  For me the sound is detailed lifelike big image from just about anywhere in the room .  All of this description is probably been said before but you got to experience it to believe it.   My living room is technically too large for the Walsh 2000s based on Ohm's  recommendations.  However,  6.5 on the volume gets me to 75-85 decibels on most material using my meter and sound consistent to me down to 40-50 db . 

Thanks for all responses on this thread. I think my next step is to take another trip to Brooklyn. It's been a few years since I last heard them and I've learned so much since.
