Ohm Model F - What amp/receiver should I get?

Crownamp-

You have F's? Congratulations.

What I know is a bit limited, and I'm going to try and not make a fool of myself by acting like an expert. But I can confidently tell you a couple of things.

First- I personally know of no receiver that can handle the F's. Your Ohms need quite a bit of quality power- right around 250 watts RMS. Your best bet is a good amplifier- there are plenty available here on Audiogon. However, the F's are tricky, and too much power can also cause problems if you over-drive them.

The second thing I can tell you is to prepare to answer a lot of questions about yout F's. Any idea what year they were made? Are they original drivers? What condition are they in?

That's it for now. With any luck, a few more experienced A'goners like Mapman will chime in. Be sure to read the entire thread: "Micro Walsh Talls- whose actually heard 'em" that was started by Rebbi. There is a lot of information on all things Ohm, including amps, pre-amps and most of the things you are wondering about.

Have fun, and be patient!

I find myself asking a lot of questions already, like what goes into what? my dad has a few crowns, amps and preamps, DC300A, IC 150, D 150A, D 150A Series 2, etc

Message Mapman. He knows a lot about Ohm speakers. And do look at that other Ohm thread. Lots of good info there!
