Two years ago, I sold a pair of what were, at one time, considered to be the best loudspeakers in the world: Ohm Model F's. My pair had sequential serial numbers; I bought them from the original owners, and had new suspensions installed professionally. They were absolutely beautiful sounding BUT they required a MINIMUM amplifier power of 100 W. at 8 ohms; they were rated to 400 watts at 8 ohms, which must have been mind-boggling (and dangerous to ones hearing!) As I said, they had a beautiful sound, but they were physically too large for my home.
I first saw them in the early '70's; it took 25 years for me to get a pair. The original price was $4000.00/pair; I bought mine for $500.00+ another $125.00 for suspensions. I loved them, but they were impractical for me; the end of the story is just too painful to relate (the speakers were ruined) and I don't want to go into it.
