1) I have absolutely ZERO interest in buying speakers as I am a headphone guy. 2) I watch this review, just because the speakers look kind of funny. 3) You manage to entertain me for 34 minutes. 4) I can´t stop thinking about actually buying these now :) Really happy to be a part of this, Zeos. Keep up the good work forever...

The Ohm Walsh speakers are the real deal. I've been loving my 3000's for about 15 months now, driven by a NAD M33. I have a large deep room and the 3000's fill the space like no speakers I've ever heard. It's an open concept room with living room, dinning room and kitchen and the sound is incredible everywhere I stand and sit. Could not be happier with the 300's and the Ohm staff is great to work with. Everything you said in this review is spot on!! Great review and more importantly speaker!

As a teenager I remember hearing a pair of the ohm A's at a high end stereo store. I remember the sound as being uncannily natural more so than any speaker I had ever heard which included almost everything on the market through the 70's. Jump to about 15 years ago and I learned Ohm speakers were still being made. I took what I thought was a risk and ordered a pair after speaking with them. After I set these up and listened my speaker shopping days were over. I am still in awe of the natural unforced and realistic music coming out of these. The question for me is not that Ohm is still in business but after hearing these why other speaker manufacturers are still in business. Talk to them like I did. They are great people that work in Brooklyn. You can interrupt their day and they won't mind a bit. Totally agree with all comments made here. Tks

I am still on my Walsh 4's from 1985. (First released in the 1970's, when I read about them in stereo magazine). Walnut finish, flared trapezoidal shape. (Ohm went to cylindrical later; apparently, now rectangular.) Listed at the time at $1895 / pair; I got the floor demos at about half that. After 15 years I had to have them re-foamed, have worked perfectly ever since. Highly recommended for main stereo listening room and surround sound.

I have the Ohm Walsh 2000's with a yamaha as801 and its amazing stuff... No matter where I walk in my connected kitchen/bar/living room the whole place is filled with magic... there is no loss of impact anywhere I walk... The bass rumbles the walls, picture frames, floor and couch... I was blown away when I first played them and still cant wait for the wife to go grocery shopping so I can just blast away..... The best.... FYI - its my first real two speaker system. My apartment is a catastrophe for a regular setup but these could careless because of the omni-directional...

Walked into a record store today, heard the most amazing full, rich, clear, magnificent sound I’ve ever heard AND imaging like I’ve never experienced. Seemed that regardless of where I stood, the music sounded amazing. I turned around to find a pair of these fairly small (from the 70s I’m guessing) speakers and could not believe all that sound was coming from just TWO stereo speakers 🤯 Ironically I had watched your review of them months and months ago, so I knew exactly what I was looking at. Had a 45min discussion with the store owner about them and how special we thought they were. They now have a firm place on my bucket list!

Walsh’s speakers have been blowing away unpretentious music lovers for over 40 years. My first experience with them was back in 1982. Because they didn’t test well, the audiophile snobs ignored them. Until now. (The other Omni you were referring to is the Mirage Omnisat)

$2,800 is a steal for speakers that sound much better than spkrs costing more than double that. $2,800 is nothing in the world of HiFi. They sound huge, even through YT, and you can’t escape great sound no matter where you are. A small electric fence around your gear works well when having a party, btw. Now, go warm yourself by the fire. Great review, dude! Very thorough. Thank you! 🎶🔊🙂

Hey sir, thank you for the review, I'm a gen x guy fortunately my dad was a thorough part time audiophile. I d grew up seeing the OHM speakers and had the fortune of owning two pairs thanx to dad in the mid 90s while in college we found a pair of Walsh 2 ohm from early 80s and then he found a pair of the old original GRANDDADDYs the OHM F s from the the 70s with the old tall from the designer Lincoln Walsh driver, released just after his death from my understanding. They were all cool and I loved my Walsh 2 s kept for years. The BiG Fs were still sweet too but the drivers suspension was worn out. I enjoyed them, but thanx for on this review my fellow audio brethren I didn't know OHM was still functioning!!😎👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🎶

Exactly! Ohm speakers have been around a long time! I can remember audiophiles in the 70's running their FISHER 500C tube receivers (popular units in the 60's) into Ohm Walsh speakers, and ranting and raving back then! Of course, the late 60's through the early 80's were 'The Golden Age of HI-FI'! We're talking beautifully crafted, large 'boat anchor' receivers (with large transformers to boot) with great FM sections, speakers the size of doors, and analog sound via LP's. What an era that was!

Nice to see this confirmation for the toe-in centering trick. That's what I came up with myself when I was imagining how it might be best to orient the speakers to create the best experience for a wide couch full of people in front of the same screen. If you think carefully about it it's relatively easy to come to the conclusion that if you turn both speakers completely toward the center person (or even more, according to the above) you will be helping the people at the edges by compensating for the uneven speaker distances via orientation (muffling the closer speaker and clearing up the farther one). All it requires is that the treble sweet spot (or rather "sweet cone") be relatively narrow and not omnidirectional, which for most speakers isn't a problem anyway. It won't be perfect, since this only works at high frequencies, but it will be better than nothing (i.e. pointing the speakers straight forward).

I hear ya, but this isnt the LSR305 - *any* problem with the build quality or anything else, and Mr Z knows exactly where the guy who built the speakers lives. There's a vid on YT where a guy has to pull his LSR308's apart to fix a loose driver that steadily drives him crazy - at every stage of the teardown you can hear him muttering 'OK, that's why they cost $x ....'. I'm not bagging JBL or anyone else who has their speakers built offshore - thats just good business practice in 2017 - but personally I have no interest in disassembling a new product simply because the manufacturer needed to shave a few USD off the price to keep the beancounters happy. For all I know these sound like shinola in my room - or yours - but there is a lot to be said for knowing that the people who built your speakers actually give a shit. Kudos to Ohm just for surviving in an uber-competitive market - I prefer active designs but I enjoyed Z's review.

Phase linearity is what all three pursue. I've owned several Maggies and sold KEF and Ohm's for years. I prefer the Maggies. Main difference: Ohm's rear wave is IN phase. KEF only has a lower frequency rear wave OUT of phase. Maggies have the whole spectrum OUT of phase. The room has LESS negative effects.

I auditioned a pair of these in the early 80's and put them on my OMFG wish list immediately. They look the same as they did back then but I am sure they have improved since my old Hippie ass heard them! They were way out of my price range then and they are still a bit steep but within reach if I sell some cannabis or my first born . (All legal in my state of California). I had my choice of new speakers pretty well set on SVS Ultra Towers after months of online investigation. Now you have piqued my interest on these with this review on these Ohm Walsh beauties of which I had completely forgotten about the Brand and the great sound I recalled from my audition so many years back. Jesus on a bicycle , thanks for opening this can of worms back up after I had made up my mind. Please don't apologize for rambling on your review. You and I share a kindred excitement and enthusiasm when it comes to electronics and I dig listening as you talk about products the same way I do. Watching your reviews is like having a close friend whose judgement I trust that uses the same vernacular rather than someone spouting endless stats and attempting to impress me with their sophistication and how cool they are. It was your review of the SVS Ultra Bookshelf speaker and your sound demo that convince me to check out and eventually settle on the Towers after months of fretting over my decision. Now you come up with these to confuse the issue (you bastard)! I still wonder about Home Theater and a 5.1 set up with these and how the omnidirectional aspect will work.

Rico Suave I like them a lot actually. They aren’t very efficient speakers so you’ll need to power them well. But at 4ohms that’s not bad. They work extremely well for home theater. They need a sub. On their own they don’t produce much bass. I want to know how much better their new stuff performs. I’m sure it’s so much better.

Rico Suave that I can’t speak on. I have been powering mine with a regular avr 100wpc @ 8ohms. I believe mine ask for 125w so I’m well above that in 2ch. Maybe the newer ones require more power? Check their site.

I was able to enjoy an original pair of these for over a year in 1975. I had a home for 3 years and my roommate was a bartender with a few side jobs (smile) and he had a hard on for the system used at the burger chain Ground Pati. When he moved in he had 2 Phase Linear amps, think Carver pre-Amp, Marantz tuner, Thorens turntable (don't remember cartridge) but instead of the Bose 901's, he came in with a pair of the Ohm F's that he was talked into by the local hi-fi audio dealer. I think he paid $800 each--an unheard of sum in those days. Once the system was tuned correctly (and believe me it took days to tune it right) the sound took your breath away. I can't afford to be an audiophile, but the year he lived with me, I enjoyed the most amazing sound ever. And the living/dining room was large and "L" shaped, but alone or with the room full, every place you sat was the sweet spot. He usually only played mint MFSL vinyl or he also had a TEAC R2R so he didn't want just any vinyl played on his system. I remember him putting on a new copy of Savoy Brown's Street Corner Talking (one of the worst mixed-engineered albums I have ever heard) and he made his policy as soon as he ripped that disc into the trash can. I have been to audio shows and heard amazing equipment since then, but I must say I never heard anything sound so amazing. The Ohm F's were absolutely the magic behind this system. It sounded so good that I could appreciate listening to an artist I despised like the Bee Gee's Saturday Night Fever, Journey, or Styx because the sound was that damn good. No doubt; it has left that memory from 41 years ago still sweet in my mind.

A good setup can definitely leave a lasting impression. It's really imperative to match the amp with the speakers in terms of character and frequency response. One amp can make a set of speaker sound irritating while another will make them sing so sweetly.

lol.. if you like these, look for the original FRS series speakers.. I have had a set of 1981 FRS-11's for the last 17 years.. a friend of mine has a set of 1990 FRS-15's and they are just unreal.. look around, you can find them at inexpensive prices.. Walsh-Ohm are the best kept secret in audio..

I remember the mighty Ohm Walsh 5, and it was an incredible speaker, I didn't know they were still in business. The Ohm Walsh 5 clipped a fair number of amps and the dealers that sold them didn't play them loud, but just loud enough so that you could here them play Omni directional, but I remember hearing an amp clip with one pair and the dealer yelled " what have I done!!
