I’d go with one of the OHM recommended amps to make sure it has what is needed for that particular model. Which is best for you will depend largely on your personal preference ie aesthetics, size, other features, etc.
What type of Amp for Ohm Walsh F-5015s?
AudigoN Team,
Looking for some thoughts on amplifier choice for Ohm Acoustic F-5015 speakers that I will be getting shortly. Would these sound better with a class D amp or a class AB amp?
I have some space restrictions (17 inch deep open wood shelving with a back wall) that are limiting my amp choices absent a furniture change and I don't want to do that unless totally "painted into a corner" John, the owner of Ohm told me that I should have at least 200 watts at 6 ohms to power the F-5015s. The powered subwoofers built into these speakers come with class D IcePower amps with line level inputs, so the amp that I obtain must have two line level subwoofer outputs.
The two units (2 line level subwoofer outputs, 200 watts around 6 ohms, less than 17 inches deep, don't run hot) that have come up in discussion with John and Evan at Ohm are the class D NAD M32 and the class AB Parasound Halo INT6. I have read that the INT6 doesn't run too hot, so it hopefully would be ok in a piece of wood furniture. After my discussion with Ohm, I saw that the class D Peachtree Nova 500 could possibly work based on the specifications, but can't seem to find any reviews on this higher power Peachtree amp. Another wild-card that would be much more expensive and offer higher power output would be the NAD M12/M22 v2 combo. I am aware that you likely get what you pay for and that the NAD systems are higher priced, especially the non-integrated combo.
Would appreciate your thoughts / amplifier guidance and any additional suggestions.
