Ohm Walsh 4

[cubdog]

I picked up a pair of Walsh 4's yesterday. Very nice condition although the right speaker does make a buzzing noise. I knew this when I bought them but since Ohm still services these speakers and the price was right I went for it. I will have to open the speaker up this week end and take a look. Does anyone have an idea of what I might look for? Thanks.

...if it is the woofer or the tweeter that is buzzing. A woofer will be easy, the tweeter may be expensive. Use of tone controls may help here. Maybe swap woofers.

Ohm uses a special driver, an inverted high angle cone called the "Walsh" as a full range driver. It's not cheap, and until a few years ago was unrepairable by anyone else but Ohm. You can actually repace the old driver with an upgraded version too. Here's a link you might find interesting;

If there is one component I sold but dearly wish I had not, that would be the Ohm F's I owned in the late '70's. I sold them to buy B&W DM7's: can you image? What a fool I was.

I contacted Ohm and it looks like repair costs will run about $250. Since they are in great cosmetic condition and I don't have much into them it will be a worthwhile fix.

Do you have to ship the speakers to them?

In any case, it should be well worth it.
