New York Times' Hans Fantel's Short Review of the Walsh 2

Walsh 2
Just within the last few months, a Brooklyn-based company named Ohm Acoustics attracted international attention with a highly innovative speaker design called the Ohm Walsh 2. Named after the late Lincoln Walsh, a physicist who first formulated its design concept, this speaker thumbs its nose at established norms to combine two normally contradictory attributes: multidirectional sound spread and …

New York Times' Hans Fantel's Review of the Walsh 2

Walsh 2
Spaciousness and accurate imaging thus seemed theoretically contradictory goals until a recent effort by Ohm Acoustics Corporation pretty well succeeded at eating this cake and having it too. Ohm’s Walsh 2 loudspeaker was named after the late Lincoln Walsh, a physicist who first formulated this design concept and whose patents were acquired by Ohm. It represents an ingenious attempt to …

STANDARDS are up. It’s hard these days to find a loudspeaker that’s downright bad — at least among reputable brands. Most are fair and many are good. But speakers whose sound is almost like real music are still rare. What’s more, not all such speakers receive the recognition they deserve because of extraneous handicaps such as limited advertising and distribution. It is …

Ohm Acoustics is an adventurous speaker company known for turning mathematical theory into fine sound. They perfected the Walsh driver, and the resulting speaker is one of the finest available at any price. On a more conventional level, Ohm was among the first companies to take advantage of A.N. Thiele’s research into the vented loudspeakers, with some pretty spectacular results. The …

While Ohm Acoustics is best known for their Model F, which proved the validity of the Walsh Principle, they are also in the business of constructing a line of conventional-appearing loudspeakers. Indeed, they seem conventional because they use woofers, tweeters and super-tweeters and the drivers are mounted in rectangular boxes. However, the amount of engineering and mathematical expertise …
