Omega The Seven Bookshelf Speakers

There's a pair for sale over at the music room. They might have some information there.

I have not heard the 7's but I did own a set of the SAM's and was very impressed with how well they did much of the sound scape. Best soundstage in any speaker I've ever owned by a good margin. good over all balance with just a hint of typical single driver/wizzer honk but very min. overall a nice speakers if matched with good electronics,  definitely low powered tube amps are excellent with them. 

they need a sub to fill out the bottom end/lower midrange.  

the 7's are not offered anymore 9from what i can see) so i cannot comment directly on them but there is not many bad reviews of omegas out there so that tells you something. 

I  have S.A.M. in my second system. I agree on their strengths outweighing their weaknesses.   Using a Cyrus i7XR amp with Vault 2i and REL r305 sub.   

Great sounding compact system.   They replaced a 25 year old pair of Sonus Faber Concerto.   The benefits of no crossover and single driver are apparent immediately with good electronics.  They really sound good at normal or a little more generous than average volumes.  They will play loud but that's not what these speakers are about.  I'm only using with a 40 watt amp but they seem to loose their composure when you push them 

Best to call Louis ,  he is a one man show .  

I don't know if the Seven are hemp cone alnico but the driver is of similar design to the C.A.M and S.A.M.  

Thank you all

I had a pair of Alnico 6s a few years ago, before the pandemic. I liked them quite a bit. The image (soundstage) was great but they were quite rolled off at the top and bottom end. I have found this to be true with most single driver speakers. I can augment the lower notes through careful use and matching of subwoofers. I used the Omegas with a variety of amps: Triode Labs 45, Audio Note OTO (EL84), a hand built single-ended KT77 amp and a Macintosh MC225 2-stage PP amp using 7591 tubes. That amp was by far the best match (to my ears) with the Omegas and just about every other high efficiency speaker I owned or tested.

FYI, I also had a pair or Coherent 8s at the same time I owned the Omegas. I spent quite a bit of time comparing the speakers. In the end I preferred the Coherent speakers with my ears, my room and my music. The Coherent 8s were still rolled off, but not as much. I wasn't fond of the residual effects from the Omega drivers And the Omegas sounded a little "congested" compared to the Coherent 8s. BUT, this is my opinion and I was using one model Omega speaker. Louis offers several models and will make custom products. I have no doubt that a different Omega speaker would have compared differently.

The regular range no longer lists that model, and that driver appears neither in any monitor or floorstander in the range. The CAM and SAM are each using a 6.5in full-range driver with whizzer cones. To move to a larger transducer, Louis is apparently placing a second 3.1 (4.5 in. cone) or 6.5 in. driver with a LF cutoff at 200Hz for a low-frequency-only driver while the other speaker remains full-range, calling these "1.5-way speakers." There is no crossover. The floorstanders have two 8-inch driver models, one with 2 speaker cones and a second pair of models with one or two of the 3i  cones..

You might email Louis to ask about the 7. He does special designs as an OEM manufacturer (a 2.1 speaker system for Symbol Audio's $30K console, for example)
