The Walsh 3 was the least sensitive of the second generation Walsh speakers. In its compact cabinet, just slightly bigger than the Walsh 2, it had deeper bass and higher treble than even the Walsh 4 (but in small to mediun sized rooms only). We used real wood veneer cabinets with an Ohm logo on the upper corner and a Walsh 3 logo next to it on the next side. There were 2 controls on the bottom, one to match the bass response to your room size (down for very small rooms, up for medium rooms and in the middle for small sized rooms.)
The speakers should be set up so the Ohm logo is on the front of the left speaker and the Walsh 3 logo on the front of the right speaker. Placed 6 to 8 feet apart and about 1 foot from the wall give the smoothest bass and best imaging.
Upgrade Options:
The driver can be upgraded to the new Walsh 2000 or the Walsh 3000 which allows for the bass to be extended down and the treble to have wider dispersion. Both upgrades sound the same, but the 3000 can fill rooms twice a large as the 2000. 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. You also get a 60-Day Home Trial to be certain you are satisfied with these upgrades.
Good Listening!
