June 9, 2006, Newsletter Issue #19: A New Evolution: The Walsh Driver

Tip of the Week

Ohm Acoustics developed the first Walsh Driver Speaker in the early seventies with their Ohm A--this speaker took sound reproduction to new heights. Further refinements through the 80's and 90's have produced the current Walsh line of loudspeakers.

The Walsh Series uses a 'Coherent Line Source Driver' (basically an inverted cone driver) with an integral super tweeter. Sound emanates simultaneously from the face of the super tweeter and the top of the inverted cone (this gives the sonic impression of a perfect vertical line source). Once a pair of these speakers is placed correctly in a room they supply unrivaled soundstage and imaging, equaled only by electrostatic speakers, or exotic custom horns.
