Is anyone thinking about building Walsh drivers?

Jedinite...*G* Uh, that's my file. As for the conus, that's what started me out, some 9+ years ago. (Long story, you don't need to be put to sleep by it... ;)...)

Mapman, you might take a look @ that file. *L* Meanwhile, I've moved on. Currently goofing with building a 3 way version ( T/M/W, vertically stacked) just because I don't know of anyone trying to do so.

Frazeur, then you already know about my 'idiosyncrasy' re Walshs'. Just thought I might pay this site a visit to see if there's anyone I haven't *L* 'infected' with my 'condition' yet. "Call me...irresponsible.."

As for DIYers....*L* Well, one never knows. I don't, and I'm absolutely shameless when it comes to trolling for input from y'all. *G* Insight from input can come from anywhere; IMHO it helps to get out and cast about in 'other waters' to see what happens.

...and it passes the time...*G*

Map, glad all is well, and congrats on the 25th sir! I still enjoy the pics of your Ohms, especially the pair in F cabinets. Always liked those! Glad too that your Bel Cantos are doing such a sterling job for you as well.

Jerry, yes I am certainly aware of the "Walsh Affliction", it catches some of us often.

FWIW their was a DIY room at the last audio show I went to (no Walsh speakers unfortunately) and I came away thinking how silly the DIYers sound made many very expensive offerings there seem. I'm surprised but happy they were allowed there. The DIY stuff hit way above what one might expect but was certainly not pretty. Lots of pretty impressive looking gear as a whole there though.

The thing I like about Audiogon is that it sets a high standard for home music and sound quality. Where it becomes interesting then is all the different recipes out there for good sound at all price points.

Fraz, the one significant enhancement with my OHMs recently was placing the 100s in my family room on Aurelax Subdude platforms to minimize interaction with the suspended plywood wood floors under the carpet there. That totally transformed the sound in that room by getting bass interactions with the floor under control. Inexpensive and definitely worth a try when called for.

My big F5s sit on solid concrete foundation. The 100s upstairs now sound more like those I have set up fairly optimally downstairs.

Interesting Map, that is one thing I really didn't mess much with was base platforms when I had my Ohms, just goes to show you, one never knows what affects these seemingly simple things will have.

With my Larsen Model 4's, I do have them sitting atop Base isolation platforms from the UK, and then a set of four SD footers between the Base platform and bottom of the speaker cabinets. Seems to work a treat. I am on a slab with laminate wood flooring, which can be an interesting thing to deal with at times, depending on speaker. My Obelisks seem more screwed up n the bass end on this floor. Something I still haven't totally worked out but getting there!
