New lease on life for a pair of Ohm F's


I happened upon a free pair of Ohm F speakers with genuine Walsh drivers. Unfortunately, these drivers suffered from the typical surround rot which then pulled down and distirted the spider.

Ohm can not fix these, and what they offer as a replacement drive module is not a Walsh driver.

Dale Harder can do the job, but the cost is more than I can swing right now.

I remeber hearing F's oh maybe 35 years ago, and was really taken aback- pleasantly, by what I heard. Sure, 35 years of audio memory is unreliable, and maybe the F's were just much better than the EPI 100's I was used to, but somehow I still think the F's, having no crossover, have a real possibility to still be sonic gold.

Suggestions are welcome-

Contact Bill at Millersound 215-412-7700. Bill is the only person I would trust with driver repairs. If you cannot afford to do it now wait until you can do it right. Nothing beats a speaker without a crossover.
ZAvato,

I used to work at Tech HiFI and recall the EPI 100s quite well.

THey were pretty decent for the day but nothing to compare to Fs or most well designed modern day speakers
, including modern OHMs.
Tech Hifi- where I heard the F's, where the EPI's came from, and I even remember their house brand, Studio Design.
That is very cool. The Ohm F is a great speaker. Spend the money to restore it correctly. You need a very powerful amplifier for this speaker.
