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!

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?

The Crown powers the two subs. The Sae powers the main speakers up top. I’m in California

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.

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