Ohm Walsh old vs. Microwalsh new

Do a search of this website and you will find a lot of information.

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.

GO with the new series 3 drivers regardless of cabinet design or room size.

Either micro walsh or see if Ohm can offer a pair of Walsh 2's or equivalent upgraded to the new series 3 drivers. If not, and micros won't cut it, find out the lowest cost option for 100 Series 3 drivers.

I've owned Ohms for 30 years (including original Walsh 2's for 20+ years) and currently own three pair, one with Walsh 5 S3 drivers and one with 100 S3 drivers. The series 3 drivers are competitive with other modern speaker drivers/design in regards to overall performance. Micros are the smallest drivers in the S3 line.

Original Walsh speakers from the eighties through early 90's use the original (unofficially series 1)drivers which are markedly inferior to S3.
