OHM score

Picked up this afternoon at the local Good Will a set of Ohm Walah 4 speakers for $60! They went on the floor about ten minutes before i got to the store. I'm sure they would not have lasted another ten minutes more. My son, who turned me onto this forum hooked 'em up and got 'em running. The sound is phenomenal!

There are pictures of course!

:thmbsp: Looks like you need a proper receiver now...

That's a phenomenal find for a thrift store!

I'm recovering from a divorce and I got the stereo bug rather late in life. The receiver is a hand-me-up from my son when he bought a new one. The CD-Player cost $1.50 at a yard sale. I'm on the lookout for a good inexpensive tape player. I don't think that I will get into vinyl at all. Good Will has been very good to me over the years.
 
Fantastic score, Delawheredad. Those are a pair of speakers I'd be happy to run as my only ones. Watch out..you might catch the addiction and be at the thrifts every other day.
 
Wow indeed! Great find :thmbsp:

If you pull the ohms away from right up against walls or furniture they sound much better. I know, takes up more floor space but you owe it to yourself to really hear them!
 
I'm jealous dad.
I want them so freaking much.
I'll trade you my heresies:)

Congrats on such a sweet find! Toss a few dollars in a jar every week and grab a good amp for them, and I promise you'll find nirvana!

They'll sound good with lots of gear but great with the proper setup!


A belated welcome to AK, and best of luck with the proceedings of your divorce. It sounds like you're fortunate to have a good son by your side.
 
Did your son help you lug them around, they look heavy?
Congrats on your find....I bet they sound great. :)

Nice price, nicer speakers. Definitely pull them out into the room, that's what they do.

I agree,the Ohm driver has full range 360 degree horizontal dispersion.
Those will sound amazing away from side and rear walls.
The soundstage is truly amazing,great speakers imo.
 
I have heard them before driven by a Phase Linear 400.. truly amazing! And like mentioned before.. if you get some high end gear driving those they are phenomenal! I wanna know where that GW is! Congrats! Awesome score!
 
For some weird reason the thrift stores in Delaware are amazing for finding speakers.
I got a pair of klipsch heresies for $15 and my dad got those for $60.
 
Just for reference, what is he driving them with? I have no doubts it's good gear, but curious as certain speakers, like Ohms, can be influenced with what you feed them.

Cudos for you for helping out your dad, by the way.
