Nice! Considering one of the new models, or . . .

I would love to find cabinets for the Ohm Walsh 2 or 4 in decent condition and have Ohm install the newest applicable drivers. I love the pyramidal design of those 1980s models. The straight sides, with or without curved edges, don't strike me as visually appealing.
I listened to the Ohm Walsh 2s at a Tech HiFi in Framingham, MA when they first came out and was blown away. I'd just recently purchased a pair of KLH Model 150s, which I'd chosen over the similarly priced Ohm Model Ls. To me the bass in the KLHs sounded tighter and more natural than the Ohm Ls, but later I kind of regretted that choice. But I digress . . . Anyhoo, the Walsh 2s just blew away my KLH's and I thought about taking advantage of their trade up policy. But at the time, I had a receiver that was not up to the 4 ohm load, so . . .
But, yeah, I loved those Walsh 2s. Will keep my eyes open, or maybe just spring for a new model soon. Just wish they still made them in that same classic shape.
