Ohm F-5015 used purchase


I have a neighbor looking to move and part ways with his Ohm F-5015 set.
They are powered with a SAE 2400L, along with a SAE P102, and T102 tuner.
He's including a Sansui SR-535 turntable and his vinyl record collection.
If I buy this combo, does anyone have any helpful opinions?
I believe he's asking a fair price but I'm very new to the Ohm name and just looking for a little advice.
Thanks!

Yep the current 5015s have built in powered subs but not the crossover, so the ones you are looking at are different.   



Hmmm ok I was under the impression powered subs were used in the f5015 but apparently not necessarily the case.

F5015 was classified as a "prototype" design last I noticed so its possible not all are similar. I heard a pair at Capital Audiofest in 2018 and I believe those used built in powered subs and an external crossover but not certain.

You could probably call Ohm and ask about this particular pair if you wanted more info. They are typically very good about supporting all Ohm speakers any way they can.

That vintage SAE gear is very cool.

Looks like two power amps, the crown and SAE?

My understanding is the 5015s require a separate outboard crossover to the subs and mains. I wonder how that is done with this setup?

What part of the country are these located in?
No not here. No biggie.

If you do happen to have Google or apple or similar accounts, you can upload photos make them public and post the url here.

Here’s a photo of my F5s out there:

2500 vinyl albums?  That's a nice incentive!

The electronics are old and may sound fine, but those speakers are capable of a lot so any improvements you make upstream over time will most likely be audible.


There are not many Ohm 5015s out there to establish resale value but new they go for over $10K.  THey deliver a lot of good sound for the price and are very adjustable to the room which is very useful.

I have Ohm F5s, similar to 5015s but no built in subs.   

If you like the Ohms, need subs and would prefer to not have them separate then 5015s are the way to go and if in good shape you are getting them for a very good discount compared to new.



Well the electronics other than the speakers sound vintage so be sure everything is in good working order and the price is fair.  

Can you hear the setup before buying?   That's always best.

May I ask how much is being asked?
