Are the new Ohm Walsh speakers Audiophile quality?

Considering buying the Ohm Walsh 2000 Tall but very few reviews has me questioning there quality. Any thoughts?

Hi Sophie,

Why not order a pair as they offer a very generous 120 day in home trial? I would also recommend that you call over there and get their recommendation on model. You might not need the 2000 if your room is smaller.

I would love to get a pair of the MicroWalsh's for a secondary system myself. I visited the Ohm factory last year and their speakers are massive fun to listen to. John and Evan are good guys to boot.

Cheers,
Joe

Thanks Joe,
I did get to listen to them at someone else's place. Liked them.
The only reservation I have is the quality comments I mentioned.
Cannot make much out of that. I know parts and materials have changed over the years. Many things are made lighter, but that does not necessarily mean worse quality.
That is why I am looking for more educated comments about the built quality and driver/electronics quality.

Understood. I know there's a prolific poster here that has the 2000's with a pair of Vandersteen subs that swears by his Ohms. Perhaps he'll chime in.

FWIW both pair of OHm Walsh I acquired >10 years ago still going strong.  I use a 500w/ch amp and play loud regularly.

Prior I had Walsh 2s I bought in 1982 that were still going strong when I traded them in for the current ones, after ~ 25 years.
