| Considering the option of "DSP speakers" I have these with built in DSP for just a few hundred $$$s and they sound absolutely wonderful. https://vanatoo.com/shop/speakers/transparent-one-encore/ | |
| Ohm F-5015 used purchase These are the ones I heard at Capital Audiofest 2018: https://www.stereophile.com/content/rocking-rockville-late-day-one-and-early-day-two | |
| Ohm F-5015 used purchase https://ohmspeaker.com/speakers/beta/Yep the current 5015s have built in powered subs but not the crossover, so the ones you are looking at are different. | |
| Ohm F-5015 used purchase 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... | |
