New York Times Hans Fantel's Review of the CAM-16

Sunday, May 14, 1989

SOUND; Speakers With Some Room to Move By Hans Fantel Published: May 14, 1989 Loudspeakers with variable patterns of sound radiation are rare. Any newcomer to their ranks is bound to arouse interest - especially if the design is musically competent and notably cheap. All of this applies to the CAM-16 by Ohm Acoustics, which uses a clever and effective method to fit the speaker’s sound …

Walsh 5, Stereophile, Dick Olsher

Monday, August 1, 1988

The folks at Ohm would love to have us believe that there “is no place like Ohm.” I know Dorothy believes that, but last time I listened to the Walsh 5 there were enough things wrong with it to spoil the Ohm-coming. To be sure, there was plenty of imaging magic; you might even say that, indeed, “there’s no space like Ohm.” But a slightly opaque and colored midrange …

New York Times' Hans Fantel's Review of the Walsh 5

Sunday, July 3, 1988

Equally meritorious and even bolder in its conceptual audacity is the Ohm Walsh 5. While the Allison speaker is a thoughtful elaboration of an established design genre, the Ohm is a radical departure from all norms. Based on patents by the late Lincoln Walsh, a California physicist, this speaker is shaped as a flat-topped pyramid, 43 inches high and l7 1/2 inches square at the bottom. At the …

Walsh 5, Audio, David Clark

…is one of the most uniform and extended response curves that I have measured from a loudspeaker. …bass distortion is exceptionally low. The Walsh 5 is one of the cleanest speakers available…there seemed to be no limit to the clean low end that these speakers could deliver….The Walsh’s ability to handle 200 watt sine waves between 20 and 40 Hz is so unusual …

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

Sunday, September 26, 1982

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

Sunday, June 20, 1982

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 …

Walsh 300 Mk-2s, The Audiophile Voice, James T. Frane

Sunday, January 7, 2007

“The size of these speakers (49-5/8 inches overall height by 13-5/16 inches wide by 17-5/16 inches deep) doesn’t exactly permit them to fade away into visual nonexistence, but the quality of the sound that emanates from them encourages a lot of oversight. To my eyes, they’re not beautiful; to my ears, they are. But really, that’s what speakers are all about—making …
