Ohm Walsh old vs. Microwalsh new

I'm looking for advice about which route to take: whether to buy new Microwalsh Talls direct from Ohm, or to try picking up some used Ohm Walsh 2s or similar. Has anyone directly compared the newer Microwalsh designs with the older Walsh 2 or 4, e.g.? I'm looking for excellent soundstage on a limited budget. Thanks.

I've done searches, and I've found several relevant threads, including:

However, I'm trying to find direct comparisons between Microwalsh and the older models. Perhaps I've overlooked something in my search, but I haven't found a direct comparison.

if you have a smaller amp, and a smaller room..the micro. a larger room and amp, the 2. ohm will help you with questions.

One small comparison comes from the 6moons review of the MicroWalsh:

"20 years ago, the most musical speaker my budget could locate was the Ohm Walsh 4. By today's standards, it sounds dated and colored..."

Later the reviewer upgraded his Walsh 4s:

However, the upgrades he made cost $3000, quite out of my budget.
