That's a new take on an old speaker. The Ohm F's were on my short list of speakers when I bought back in 1976-77.  The main knock on them was that they took a ton of power.  I ended up with Design Acoustics.

Yes. It's called the MBL 101 X-treme.

  If you were going to double up, that's probably the best way to do it, but I don't think it's necessary.

    I would also be extremely skeptical about a "refurbished" F. The people at Ohm Acoustics say that they haven't been able to rebuild one to the original standard and I doubt that this guy has done a lot better.

    They were great speakers in the day but that day was 40 years ago.

Yes Ohm Fs were great speakers in their day.  A friend of mine had a pair.  I think they were $3k list back them.  The drivers I believe were made with titanium.  I brought over the 1812 Overture and warned him not to play it too load.  He did not listen.  I believe a new driver cost him $600.

I believe I heard them at the Hifi Show in DC in the mid 70's.

I remember also United Audio had one of their Dual 1229Q TT's hanging upside down playing the Allman Brothers Eat a Peach.

And Cerwin-Vega had their 15T Towers running the "Earthquake" Soundtrack in their
SenSurround Sound.

Somewhere I think I still have a Leslie Test Record that I got from them.

Those were some cool days.

A friend of mine was a dealer for them back then.  I really couldn't ever warm up to the sound, it didn't sound like music.  They sold more on technology than auditions, it's really cool, it must sound good.

Damn Dan,

Good to hear from you again.

How's Tricks?

Wish you could swing RMAF. Your prowess with the camera and journalistic expertise would be greatly appreciated.

Keep in touch,

Interesting notes guys.  I am a fan of Ohm's, owning the 200's.  I thought thie linked to design was more than a bit of overkill. 2 Cans per side when one F per side is considered a world class speaker.

Hi, Well, I do remember the speakers. Yep, they required power to sound there best. I wasn't very impressed with the G model at all. the F's were much better. 15 G's is a lot of money for a speaker like that. I seriously think you can do a whole lot better for that kind of money spent.
