I tried the 5000's for a month and returned them. Comments from @circusdevil are spot on. The veneer on mine were also bubbling. I thought the bass response was really weak in my room.
Shipping them back was not cheap.
Anyone dislike Ohm Walsh speakers?

@gimmer Interesting that you returned them after one month with two months left on your trial period. I bought mine in late 2009 and if they continued to sound like they did after one month, I would have returned them also. The biggest changes came in the 6-12 week range. I have even heard that John Strohbeen won't take a return in less than a month for that reason. I assume you tried adjusting the level switches before you returned them. |
@bondmanp It may have been closer to two months. I worked with them for about a month with positioning and adjusting switches but the bass was always muddy to me. The build quality was really subpar for speakers in that price range (8-9K). They were very helpful but the speakers and my ears and eyes just didn't gel. |
Interesting comments regarding the quality of veneer finish. I tried a set of Ohm 200s about 15 years ago and the cabinet quality was mediocre, but not bad. Fast forward to more recent times and I bought a set of Ohm 1000s about 4 years ago and the veneering and finish is very good. It's not a fancy piece of wood furniture like some speakers, but certainly good. Definitely an improvement over the 200s. And, I love the way they sound. |
