Thanks, I think that is the same model as the ones I have.The few reviews I can find are of the original Ohm F, not the F2. I am still interested in hearing from someone who familiar with their sound to help me decide how much to invest in fixing them up.
I listen to some classic and prog. rock, but mainly classical orchestral and choral music. My main listening room is large, 16' X 30' feet or so, with a cathedral ceiling that slants from 8 to 16 feet in height.
I do appreciate nice imaging in a speaker. My high frequency hearing is not what it used to be (now age 50.)
Follow Ups:
The F2's were very good speakers in their day. However, the current Ohm upgrade will allow them to compete rather well in the hi-end marketplace today.
I will call the company and inquire about upgrades. Even after reading their website I am not sure I understand all the options.Some upgrades seem to be credit towards a totally new pair of current speakers, and others seem to be new drivers or new acoustic damping devices for the tweeters. It is not clear if you have to return your old speakers for credit as well.
I am still interested in opinions about how these speakers do for orchestral and choral music. Also any comments on room placement. WAF prevents putting them out very far from the wall.
I don't suppose you are the George Mann that taught biochemistry and nutrition at Vanderbilt University in the 1970s and 1980s?

No, I am not that George. The upgrade involves swapping out the entire driver assembly.
