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

I know many good speakers owners will say that, but the question is : can a speaker handle real deep bass (like for example in the album "The last resort" from Trentmoller or in the last Kangding Ray album "Pruit Igoe")so well that all the high and mid frequencies are still as smooth and present as if there were no bass, with no degradation whatsoever.

I have tested the new Fs and they can acheive this as well as they can reproduce a piano, cello or violon solo in a really emotional way.

The last test I will perform is compare them to my old refurbished Fs (the best speakers I've heared so far), in my new home (600 sq f room). The competition is tough, but I think the new Fs can actually come out on top.

Newbie question here. Do I understand that EACH 5015 has a 500W Amp inside the speaker? If true, what kind of Amp? If I have a 100WPC amp and I hook up the speaker leads to the 5015 what happens? I do not understand connecting up an amp to an amp. Excuse my lack of knowledge.

Me too. I've researched the ohm Fs online and I keep reading there a legend.

I'll start testing Sunday. One of the question I have is this: the new 15" woofer can go very low, we already know that, but it is not only a question of going low it is a question of also doing it right; since the 15" has a 500 w/c amp, I'm wondering if this amp will produce a bass of a quality equal or superior than that on the old Fs 12" with my mark Levinson 436.

Also, the sound dispersion of the old Fs is unique and addictive, I wonder if the new Fs will offer a similar stage or if it will be a more central stage.

I'll have some suggestions a to the answers to these questions by the end of next week.
