Ohm's are no longer omni directional

Keith is correct. While certainly the current Ohm line descends from the original Walsh concept (I still have a pair of Ohm F's packed away in the basement), the back of the current driver is affixed with absorbing material so that the system radiates sound horizontally about 180 dgrees; not 360 degrees as with the orginal. Sound does not emanate from the rear (or all around) as did the F. The Walsh line sure sounds spacious, though.
