Our humble beginnings… HHR Exotic Speakers is a
small division of H & H Research, an established Gas laser company started
some 30 years ago. Further, HHR Exotics is in no way connected with or party
to the original Ohm Acoustics Corporation where the true Walsh speaker was
born. While HHR Exotics is just two years old as a commercial enterprise, we
began from strong roots in the laser and audio industries. I began HHR Exotics
partly due to the urgings of many people around the world whom knew of my work
with Walsh speakers and partly because of my sincere desire to provide
refurbishing and upgrading services to the existing community of Ohm Walsh “A”
and “F” owners. This service has not been provided by the parent company since
1984. Due to considerable success in this endeavor, the opportunity to provide
an outlet for a new line of Walsh type drivers based on their previous
predecessors has come to pass.
As Chief engineer and owner
of HHR Exotics, it is my heart felt desire to provide audio enthusiasts, i.e. audiophiles
and music lovers alike one of the finest loudspeakers ever developed, now with
more than 61 improvements and upgrades.
Our sole motivation is to
provide the highest quality components and workmanship with the greatest return
for your investment available today. Each pair of speakers are lovingly hand
crafted works of art and performance being more like fine Stradivari Violins
rather than mass produced off the shelf components. Indeed, it takes more than
250 man hours to craft a pair of drivers for these beauties, not to mention the
exquisite cabinetry. More than 45 years of
advancements in technology and materials now allows us to produce a Walsh style
driver of unsurpassed sound quality and exotic beauty. For the less than
fortunate individuals that have not heard the Coherent Wave Transmission Line
style drivers and speaker systems the opportunity now awaits. For those that
have experience with the older products imagine that product new and completely
improved at a price point that is more than affordable, in fact unbelievable
for today’s market.
It is our humble opinion that
these speakers can and do compete with units priced 5 to 7 times more than the
current price of these exotic and timely offerings. Head to head shootouts have
taken place with such exotics as Infinity IRS standards, ESL Quads, Apogee
Ribbons Carver Ribbon Hybrids and even Plasma drivers with astonishing results
leaving many a hard core audiophile stunned in amazement. The Walsh Principal
simply works.
Isn't’t it time you found out!
Sincerely,
Dale Harder
President HHR-Exotics.
