Ohm FRS-15 v. Ohm Walsh 2

2 questions... (1) Ohm Walsh 2 is pure single driver whereas the FRS speakers are... what? Additional tweeter? Then NOT 360? FRS-15s and 2s are similar in price. Which one? (2) Speakers are for 14'x24' room w 8' celing but 14' side is open to 14'x12' kitchen. Want to put Ohms at this mid-line (step-up) to fill den and kitchen. Nuts? My logic says nice creative solution, but somehow it might not work... comments? I listen to progressive rock, jazz, electronic, etc. but like clean sound that's a bit warm and punchy but not bright.

Thanks, btw, to Mapman and Mr. Strohbeen. Ohm 2s or FRS-15s as well as MMGs are in my near future.

Marcus,

I rotate MMGs and Ohm 100s in a set-up with subwoofers. They both sound very good - but quite different from each other. (Over time, I've settled into a pattern that's app 80% to 90% Ohm.) If your intention is to use them in the same system, I'd love to hear your take on the comparison.

 I just recently purchased a pass labs int-60 and I was just wondering if the ohm Walsh 2 or the ohm frs-15 would be better the 15 says that it only needs 30 watts to operate while the Walsh two needs a hundred Watts all I care about is getting some good sounding bass can somebody give me some good advice thanks

Are you asking about original Walsh 2's from the 1980's?

No, I bought the upgrade, but they are giveing all kinds of trouble first I had to send back one of the speakers back because the Tweeter went bad now I got to send back one of the Crossovers because it keeps shutting my amp down so I'm getting pretty tired of dealing with ohm  but they were original ohm Walsh 2 from the 70s
