Shameless Poll: Pearl vs Ohm vs Zu


Santa Claus drops a pair of speakers under your tree in the middle of the night, what do you choose:

  • Pearl Acoustics Sibelius
  • Ohm Walsh 2000
  • Zu Union Supreme 6
  • Bonus Option: Something from Decware with a Lii Song Driver

Extra credit if you add an amp < $5k to the wishlist.

Danke

@livinon2wheels ...and that walsh>typ. tweeter format is what keeps this one from being an all out supporter of current Ohm offerings....
For grins and to just being able to play them without building a pair o' boxes, I 'Ohm Walshed' a pair of vintage' Utah 12" with it's matching exponential horns....

Sound stage suffers a tad. but Loud? Yes.


If an omni is what one seeks. be consistent because it actually does matter.

I've been toying with an update on the Infinity 'ice cream cone' Walsh for awhile now but it can feel like brain surgery with a Dremel.

@audionoobie... the loudness issue was a fault on the early Ohms ( "....great at 200, blows at 201.." ) that surrendering of the large drivers' size helped....

Personal approach:  A good sub, mind the xover...

You want Loud?
Add mid to high drivers to taste.

I've done a 'surround Walsh' array that accomplished just that.

It's all tied into dispersion, a cone at 90ish on-axis vs. 360.  Less radians at your ears with lower 'information' available as well....

It's a quest with an answerable question....;)

Happy Friday, y'all....👍

Glad to hear the Ohm tradition of going the extra mile for customers has survived.  👍

Anyone in the area and interested in hearing F5s I’d be glad to talk about providing a listen. Same for super Walsh 2 (smaller driver, no level adjustments).

I also run Sonus Faber, KEF meta, Vanatoo, and Boston Acoustics live for compare.
