Default Ohm Walsh 4 Should I Get?
Looking online and found a decent looking pair of Ohm Walsh 4 speakers for 350. Been wanting to start a vintage setup with some Mcintosh tube amps and preamps for vinyl.

Would this be a good speaker to get? Not much info out there on theses speakers or even comparisons.

That's what I was going to say! I've never heard them, though.

They'll need to be refoamed or upgraded at their age. The good thing is the Ohm Corp. still supports them.
I had an upgraded pair a while back and they were decent speakers I thought.

I heard the new Ohm at the New York Audio Show.
I thought they sounded real good for the price they ask for them.

Default Ohm Walsh 4 Should I Get?
Long time Ohm Walsh fan here. Started with F’s and traded them in on 4’s which I enjoyed for over 10 years. I more recently refurbished another pair of F’s and use them everyday at our lake house.
