Ohm Walsh Talls (opinions sought)

I demo'd the 1000's at the Ohm factory in Brooklyn several years back. This was way back when I first started my journey into hi end audio. My faint recollection of them was that they were very musical and easy to listen to.

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how they would compare sound wise to the Vandersteen 1ci. Is there anyone out there with experience with both speakers?

Incidentally, I spoke with Jake from Ohm this morning. He said that current lead times are around 5 months and he expects that timeframe to shorten moving forward as they got slammed with orders last summer.

Originals sold prior via stores were not as refined. 

The new OHMs are not the old OHM Fs that mijostyn might be referring to.

I have a set of Ohm 1000s and they do a fantastic job of letting me enjoy my eclectic taste in music without fail.  I've heard a lot of speakers over the decades and have no urge to make any changes.

Just to be clear there are 5 generations of Ohm “Walsh” speakers

 

Original ohm F and A

1st gen Ohm “Walsh” line ie walsh 2, 4, 5

 

These first two versions were sold in stores onto the early 90s I believe

2nd gen Ohm Walsh X00 models and ohm 5 series 2

3rd gen series 3 (I have these)

4th gen x000 series which is current

ohm moved to direct sales only in mid 90s for these last three

Still have not found anything better or more affordable than ohms setup and driven well for pure musical enjoyment.
