OHM Acoustics "Walsh F" Speaker remakes

[SpeakerTom]

I OWNED OHM F AND LATER WALSH 5 + MANY OTHER OHM SPEAKERS.. bOTH VERY GOOD IF YOU HAVE GOOD AMPLIFICATION.. WISH I KEPT THE F'S.. DIDN'T HAVE A GREAT AMP OR ROOM AT THE TIME SO LET THEM GO BUT A FRIEND DID AND THEY WERE VERY NICE IN HIS SYSTEM. OHM SPEAKERS AND I HAVE HAD MANY OVER THE YEARS INTEGRATE VERY WELL INTO ALMOST ANY ROOM.. VERY IMPORTANT.. CURRENT WALSH PRODUCT IS HIGH ON MY WISH LIST

The paint I use to letter the blocks onto a driver surface is made by Poly Scale corp. Flat Finish #404106. Both of these materials will be in any decent hobby shop that sells plastic models and some HO scale train items.

Mamboni,

I am delighted to see the interest you have stirred up. Have you thought about using your process on more conventional speakers? Still placed on the non free air emitting surface, I suspect that a considerable improvement in midrange driver clarity might result. We may be stuck with just the EnABL process for dome, cone and linnaeum style tweeters... though I have seen the odd Walsh based tweeter show up. Not a drawback. Certainly a conventional speaker setup, with your pattern on the back of woofer and cone midrange, my pattern on the front to lightly correct whats left over, and an EnABLE'd tweeter, will rival the Ohms for clarity, depth of field and sheer musical beauty. And that is saying something!

While it has taken some number of years to accomplish I have a conventional system that will easily outperform my original treated Ohm F's in all of the categories you would care to list, so I am sure your idea can be so applied and between us we may just get as close to perfection as humans in the real world can accomplish.

I am still very intrigued to try both processes together, I do sense a possibility of synergy.

Hey bud is this the correct coating?
Micro Coat Gloss: Microscale Decals

I figured if someone like myself missed it in a posting this will bring them up to date...

Btw if you would be so kind i would love to enable my ohm F speaker cones.....PDF the patterns please any other advice for the ol Walsh drivers?

Hello Dave.... very long time no talk Sir.....I see your still messing about...having fun!?

Last time we talked (about 10 years ago) you were playing with Heil tweeter drivers in a 2 way monitor

That box had the heils sold and then Marks & Daniels tweeters added. Mostly doing FR & FAST these days.
