I've had a pair of Ohm Walsh 2's for a long time --
something like 1 1/2 years -- and am very pleased with
them.  The Walsh 4's sound very similar to me -- I tried
an A/B test recently and could not tell the difference
using the hard rock album I was sampling,
but symphonic music may reveal differences.  The specs
indicate that the 4 reproduces lower notes than the 2 can do,
but I probably can't hear that anymore since I played
in a rock band in college!

A few months after I bought my 2's, I heard a pair of Bose
speakers, which also follow the philosophy of non-directional
sound, and thought I liked those better, but without an A/B test
it could just be another case of "the grass is always greener ...".

At any rate, I can't see spending all that money for the 4's when
the 2's will do almost as well.
