I would say it is... depending on the condition of the wood on the Walsh 4....and they are just a Walsh 5000 upgrade away from even more Sonic bliss...
I enjoyed mine for their warm sound, although I too agree with the previous poster as them not being high level audiophile - still very enjoyable presentation. Let your ears be the final judge when it comes to matters of speakers...
Seriously. It's this kind of audio snobbery which gives, I guess, any hobby a bad name among those who might not be fully invested in it – and among those who are.
i'm sure the crew over at Ohm would love to hear you speak at great length about what constitutes audiophile or not.
For many years now I've refused to use the word "audiophile" to describe myself even though I've been active in the hobby for almost 50 years, including stints as a stereo store manager and a concert sound engineer back in the 70s and fixing/building equipment for almost the whole span.
I find the word too closely associated with pretentious behavior that often runs to downright silliness.
I just tell people I love music and enjoy good sound.
