Compact Ohm Omni Struts its Stuff

Okay, I’ll admit it. I was delighted when the President of Ohm Acoustics Corporation, John Strohbeen, consented to send me his newly designed MicroWalsh Tall SE speakers for review. I have always held an interest in Ohm’s omni-directional speakers over the years, beginning in the mid 70’s, when I got to hear the original Ohm F’s at a friend’s apartment. As I recall, they were driven by …

Walsh 3000, Don Lindich's Sound Advice Blog

Sound and Vision's Gary Altunian Remembers the Ohm F

I took a quick mental inventory of the many reference speakers I’ve owned and enjoyed, and they’ve all employed various methods of achieving sonic coherence. Some used precise driver alignment, and others used a single driver for all frequencies, but the result was always the same. (If you’re interested, the Dahlquist DQ-10 and Ohm F speakers are two of them.) To my ears, sonic coherence is …

Hi-Fi Reader

“So, after all the lugging, titling, reversing and breaking-in – how did the speakers sound? Really good. Really good but especially good considering how small they are. In another review I read how the reviewer was amazed at the amount and quality of the bass that the little Ohm’s were able to generate and I’ll admit that I agree.” “Bass aside, I found the Ohm’s to be incredibly …

Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 5 Series 3 Speaker Category: Speakers Bottom line: Yes, I think these are world class speakers that are relatively affordable, that work well with good or even great electonics, without spending a fortune, and despite the modest price, and pre-requisites in term of the supporting system, can compete with the best at most any price.

Jeff Dorgay, Audiophile Audition

What impressed me the most of these speakers, being a confessed panel lover, was how open and transparent they are. …Bottom line, if you have a small room and you value quality over quantity of sound, the Ohm Micro Walsh is …

Don Lindich's Sound Advice

Don Lindich’s Sound Advice has a few comments “I receive more e-mails about speaker suggestions than any other subject. The speakers I most commonly recommend are from my own list of “giant killers,” products that to my ears sound much better than other speakers at the same price point, as well as those that often cost considerably more. Some of them are available only …

John Potis reviews the Walsh 5 Mk-2 Upgrade for the Walsh 4 on 6moons

As a class, I think omni-directional speakers suffer somewhat of a bum rap when it comes to their imaging and soundstaging characteristics. I’m forever getting emails asking if the “artificiality” of the omni-directional presentation grows old after a while - as though it were somewhat akin to listening to music in a reverb chamber. Nothing could be further from the truth. While …

John Potis Reviews the original MicroWalsh Tall on 6moons

A little History It was 1983. My search for a “high-end” speaker took me to all the local salons to result in the purchase of my first pair of Ohm Acoustics loudspeakers. The floorstanding and remarkably full-range Ohm Walsh 4 set me back $1500 and left me one happy audiophile. They were so good that I bought a pair of the smaller Walsh 1 for another room a bit later. Fourteen years …

Walsh 300 Mk-2, SMR Guide to Home Theatre, John R. Potis

“To thine ‘Ohm’ self be true “…The first pair of ‘High End’ speakers I ever owned were a pair of Ohm Walsh 4s. While my fickle audiophile nature had me selling them some years ago, the fact is they went to my Father-in-law and I still get to enjoy them on a regular basis. So, when I was surfing and came upon Ohm Acoustics’ web site …
