History on ohm A's and F's.

I've owned Fs, two pair of Walsh 5s and a pair of Walsh Sats (similar to 100s). They float instruments very well, and are coherent, but the Fs are very recessed on top, and bass heavy except in very large rooms. The 5 is much better, but still a bit recessed in the upper mids, and the top is not as detailed as the best. However, they do present large scale works more realistically than most high end speakers and are highly musical, if given enough room and power. The S3s supposedly improve on the weaknesses of earlier versions. The sound of the Walshes is polarizing for audiophiles, but I think music lovers find them to be very endearing indeed.

I have 2 pairs of Ohm F.

All 4 speakers need repair as the foam disintegrates over time.

With proper power, let's say Chernobyl, they are among the finest loudspeakers I've ever heard.

Ohm A was basically a prototype. It was a 16" Walsh driver as opposed to the 12" Ohm F.

I believe very few pair were actually made available to the public.

Bill, Aren't the Ohm F's very difficult to recone? I think I read that there are only a couple of people who can perform this in the USA. Is this the case because I have seen a number of pairs here on the GOn. Bob

Agree Ohm Fs were/are really nice. I think all of the newer stuff, including the 'upgrades' are lifeless and plastic sounding.

I think there is a guy that is building a new version of the model F; seems like he has advertised or sold a pair here on Agon.
