With over 120,000 units sold, it’s a wonder Ohm Acoustics is not more of a household name. Founded in 1972 and based in Brooklyn, New York (where the speakers are manufactured), Ohm Acoustics designs and manufactures speakers utilizing the technology of Lincoln Walsh’s Coherent Line Source (CLS) driver, which was patented in 1969. Since Ohm’s inception, it has endured the cycles …

Let’s pause on the Hook main theme by John Williams. And let’s talk about my new speakers. Cause they’re mine. I – there’s no way that they’re going back. They’re Ohm Walsh 2000’s. Now, “Ohm” is a description of a speaker statistic or a driver statistic, so if you look up “Ohm”, you’re not gonna find these immediately. “Walsh” is the name of the father from Goonies, …

I don’t often review items I purchase but I will make an exception in this case. I am the original owner of Ohm F loudspeakers that I purchased February 1981. Knowing the power requirements, I also purchased a Nikko Alpha 440 power amp, Beta 40 preamp etc. at the same time. In my younger years the Ohms were driven hard, always close to 200 watts and for many years. They served me well! As the …

Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Took a leap of faith and have ordered a pair of the new Ohm Walsh Tall 2000s. A complete change of direction but curiosity and all that… A very different design and concept that just might have legs with my evolving tastes and listening habits. Was thinking about a pair of RF-7 IIs but no good deals to be found in Canada. Have been sitting on the fence for …

I then saw in the forum a couple of members inquiring about these speakers in the main …

Der Markt für rundum strahlende Lautsprecher ist überschaubar. Zwar haben sie eine treue und überzeugte Fangemeinde, sind sie aufgrund ihrer Allüren bei der Aufstellung aber unterrepräsentiert. Wenn jetzt Ohm Walsh mit der AE 1000 IS nach jahrelanger Abstinenz wieder am deutschen Markt präsent ist, ist es an der Zeit, einmal den aktuellen Stand der Technik und die Praxistauglichkeit zu …

Overall Rating: Value Rating: Hi all, I recently purchased a W5.5000 upgrade from Ohm Acoustics for my 1998 vintage Walsh 5LE speakers and wanted to share the experience with you. In a word: WOW! I don’t know what the folks at Ohm did to make the driver improvements but they surely did knocked it out of the ballpark with the changes. First, the expansion of the soundstage is remarkable. …
