Recently, I found myself thinking more about my 1982 experience with the Walsh 2s and that it would be fun to find a pair and try them out in a room with known good acoustics. I found some on eBay, and while they sounded good, they were in need of repair. I found that to fix a dented can, Ohm charges a reasonable $30. To replace the drivers, a pricey $495. New improved grilles go for $120 a pair. And an upgrade kit that promises extended bass, higher, more defined treble and an ability to play louder will fetch a whopping $1,400 per pair. Options, options. What should I do? I wrote Ohm asking for more advice and they informed me that if I wanted the best sound possible, the upgrade was the only way to go. How did it all work out?

The Ohm Walsh 2 is a vintage speaker from 1982. It is a vintage eighties speaker. It is now considered an antique speaker. How do antique speakers sound? How do old speakers compare? Ohm speakers have been handmade in Brooklyn since 1971.
