Speaker company :HHR exotic speakers

I owned a set of the original Ohm Fs back in the mid-1970s and they were my favorite speaker of all time. In a home environment the volume limitation never bothered me, even though I was in my 20s then. To this day, my average listening volume is about 85 dB max. I currently have a set of Ohm 1000s which I enjoy greatly, though they do seem to miss that last bit of magic that I remember hearing with the Fs. (Interestingly, the modern Ohms don't have a volume problem.) However, I don't have the room for anything bigger than the 1000s so the issue of HHRs is irrelevant for me.

To resurrect an old thread, I would mention that German physiks makes a Walsh type driver out of carbon fiber that can play quite loud. To avoid over driving it they do cross it over at about 110 hz to a woofer. I own a pair and probably will stick to this type of speaker from now on

That’s disappointing to hear that these new Walsh speakers have similar limitation as the old ie can’t go loud without damage.

The Ohm Walsh line with the CLS driver design That replaced the Ohm F definitely solved that problem years ago. 

In fact I have found them to be relatively indestructible and they love to go loud even more so than most but of course they are not single Walsh driver full range. Nor are German Physiks.
