Are Ohm Walsh Speakers the Poor Man's MBLs?

Are the Ohm Walsh speakers and the MBl speakers using essentially the same technology? Has anyone had experience with how the two compare to one another. Clearly there is a major price difference, but do the Ohm's give ~99% of the experience?

Just curious.

99 percent? probably not... 85 to 90 percent would be a more realistic conjecture. But if you're happy with what you have, why beat yourself up?

No I don't think so. Ohms are Ohms and MBLs are Pinapples. yes both radial yes inefficient no completely different air motion interfaces. MBL has strips of an that rely on an electrostaic air disturbance versus ohms which rely on more conventional cone motion using the back wave of a narrow cone radiating in all directions. Are klipsch a poor mans Avant Garde same technology this time ?

No way. Unless you're talking about the Ohm Fs, they sound muddy and plastic-y.

My opinion.

Are the MBL's the Poor Man's German Physiks?
