Are the new Ohm Walsh speakers Audiophile quality?

@cdrat...  I don't know what the woofer surround material is.  However, the current line of Ohm Walsh speakers are expected to have about a 50 year lifespan, according to John at Ohm.  John is all too aware of the wear and tear issues with earlier Ohm speakers.  I think he set his very capable mind to designing in better longevity when he designed the current models, including the woofer surrounds.  I would expect your upgrade to use whatever material is being used for the new production speakers.

The original Walsh 4 was a 10" driver with foam surrounds.

I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas, except it’s the 4-5000 upgrade for my Walsh 4s.  Apparently, they are working on upgrade orders now.

New review on the Ohm F5, interesting read. Sorry if this has already been covered recently/ elsewhere…

Oops, apologies, just saw Mapman’s post above, good grief…
