The Walsh 1XO replaced the Walsh 1 as the least expensive Walsh speaker Ohm made that used real wood veneer cabinets.  The XO stood for eXtra Output because this series was more sensitive than the earlier series.  It used the same Walsh 2 cabinet and grill with a simplified Walsh 2XO driver.  None of the XOs had controls. There is no logo on the cabinet itself , but an Ohm logo on the cloth grill.  There is nothing inside the cabinet or driver that requires periodic maintanence.  There should be a label under the grill that says ''aim toward center of room''.  This label should be opposite the corner where the wires are coming out of the driver can.  The Walsh 1XO should be set up six to eight feet apart, with the labels on the inside front corners to attain the best Full Room Stereo effect.

The driver can be upgraded to the new Walsh 100 Mk-2 which allows for the bass to be extended down and the treble to have wider dispersion.  All necessary parts can be installed with a screwdriver and hot glue gun and takes only 20 minutes.  The upgrade comes with a 3 Year Limited Parts & Labor Warranty, assuring you of years of listening pleasure. 

Ohm allows up to $995 for the return of a complete undamaged pair of Walsh 1XOs  toward 25% of the purchase price of new Ohm speakers.
