I have a guy locally that is selling a set of Walsh Ohm 2 speakers. They appear to be in really good shape. Just curious if someone could tell me what would be a fair price for them. Also is there any known issues with these that I should be aware of? And I guess most importantly.... Are they worth having?:confused:

Thanks.

    Nice.

    Does anyone have a bluebook that they could check for me?

    Nice speakers. I wouldn't hesitate to pay $100 or even $150 for a pair in good condition.
    I do not think that the surrounds on the (mini) Walsh drivers on those will be foam... that's really the only thing to worry about. These are much smaller, cheaper, more efficient, and less persnickety than the "real" Ohm Walshes (e.g., Ohm Walsh F).

    I have a pair of the small Ohm Walshes... not that I have ever figured out which model they are.

    The small Ohm Walsh drivers are basically just inverted speaker cones (these also have 'helper' tweeters)... but they do sound quite nice if a bit diffuse relative to direct radiators.
