Are Ohm Walsh's a step up from Martin Login Electro Motion ESL's
I currently have a hapr of Martin Login Electro Motion ESL's and I will never get rid of them, but in my current house only one person can trully be in the sweet spot for the speakers, and it does get a little annoying how fast you can get off axis. I really want to find something beautilf sounding in a small room that just feels like you are there. The one speaker that keeps coming up that can do this are Ohm Walshes. I have been looking at the Ohm Walsh 2's and doing an upgrade (speakers on my terrms) or looking at the tall 2000s. I really want to find a speaker that is my last speaker for a long time.
I am driving my speakers with Odessy Kismet Mono block's and a Schiit Freya+ with RCA JAN 5692's in the gain side and PSVANE COSSOR 6SN7 in the buffer side.
Have anyone compared Ohm's to Martin Logan's. Anything else I should be looking at. My budget is $4000+ but I also am a guy that likes rebuilds of things. I primarily listen to Rock and Jazz
I added a pic to my virtual system that shows Ohms on Subdude pads in family room with placement not too far off from OPs.

This is my default "sent them this" speaker setup link http://www.cardas.com/room_setup_calculators.php
Not a cure all, just another FREE thing to try. Every room/setup is different. I hear good results with this as a starting point. |
I remember in the early days OHMs could not play loud, so be good to investigate
Right now you can pick up a pair of Emerald Physics 2.8s for a song (I have 3.4s, essentially the same but without dual 15" carbon fiber woofres). Can be driven by a single ~ 100w amp, but can handle big power, Do a search I saw a pair yesterday on another sales site
