Ohm Acoustics Walsh F-5015 speakers

Hi everyone

I too received the msg stating that Ohm Acoustics in Brooklyn is having a Columbus Day sale. In the message there was a mention of the new Ohm F-5015 speakers. Upon reviewing the site there was no mention of the F-5015 speakers. I then saw in the forum a couple of members inquiring about these speakers in the main Ohm Walsh thread. I figured for these new speakers they deserved a thread of their own.

Well what do you think these F-5015 speakers are? My guess is that these are the latest generation of new drivers/speakers to replace the original large Ohm Walsh F drivers. I'm thinking these speakers will be enormous and sound awesome.

Any thoughts/comments are more than welcome? If you get in touch with John Strohbeen about the F-5015 speakers feel free to post your findings.

Thanks

Hi Spacer

Definitely share with us your thoughts on the F-5015s. I'm not in the market for them yet but I'm sure lots of members here will be interested as the Ohm Fs have a great following in general.

Hi,

I listen to these two or three hours every day. I just found the right location in my 600 sf room today. I had been close for a few days but I think I finally got it right today. I've listened to a few Bach cello suites and I was quite impressed by the speed and depth of the 15 inch woofer. Frankly, I never heard a recorded cello sound as good as the one I heard this evening.

So far so good.

Regards,

S.

I see John posted some more info on the F 5015s on the OHM website but still no pictures.

John sent me an email and said they can produce some scary bass down to 16 hz. Also he said they were the loudest with 15 inch extreme excursion subwoofers powered by 500 watt amps take care of frequencies under80 hz. I almost got a pair but already had the 5000's and with 600 watt bryston it's loud enough. Anything more and my TT would not take the high pressure levels that the 5015 would generate!

Gotta be very heavy! My f5 series 3 are already but are on castors, which really helps with tweaking placement and moving when needed.
