Amplifier matching with omega super Alnico Monitors.

I've never had the chance to hear a single driver speaker.  Do you think they are missing anything compared to a two-way stand-mount?  I've heard that single driver speakers have certain compromises that for some are too significant.  Of course, I imagine they do other things better than a 2-way.  Would love to hear your thoughts on the sound you're getting.  

Hi smrex. I think there are many different single driver designs, which will include some huge folded horn design that will provide full range. However these were fully intended to be a compromise for a smallish lounge system. However it’s fair to say they are very good in areas I thought they’d be limited. They don’t go as low as my orangutans or have the silky smoothness up top either. But as a system for relaxing of an evening too. I don’t think I could have done any better. For what I wanted. The Sound field is great. Big, open, free of the speakers. When I’m listening Im not aware of any deficiencies. They are interesting, quite large and very enjoyable. I think I’m going to enjoy them a lot.

If you have anything specific you’d like me to comment on, just let me know.

thanks for your interest.

Myron.

Congratulations Myron, I'm so happy for you. I keep looking at the Omega speakers, but have not purchased yet.

Myron, I’m following your feedback with great interest since I’ve been lusting over the Omega’s for a while, particularly their multi-driver (1.5 way) towers. My brother in law lives about 10 minutes away from their workshop in Norwalk Connecticut (hour and half from our house) so I could easily just pick up the speakers when we visit. I will just need to wait a bit since I’ll also need to get a solid quality low power integrated tube amplifier that I can dedicate to these speakers and the total funds can get a bit steep at the moment. Glad to hear you’re enjoying them.

@borg7x9 Myron,  Thanks for the response.  When you say they don't have the silky smoothness up top...could you explain that a bit?  Is it rolled off?  Bright? Tipped up?  I imagine it's a very different sound from having a dedicated tweeter.  Thanks for any info you can share.

Best, Scott
