Which Budget Speakers, Tekton or Omega?

I guess I would say a concentric is a design that attempts to do what a Single Driver speaker does.  The 6.5" Omega speaker is just a single speaker providing everything that a tweeter and woofer do.  The Whizzer cone (which is just part of that single speaker) is used in an attempt to direct the higher frequencies.

I really enjoy my Omegas, ( I have both their Alnico and RS5 models), but I'd be hesitant in recommending them to people who play a lot of loud complex music unless they have subs.  Omega also offers the High Output models to address these limitations, but I have very limited experience with them so I can't attest to their success.

These speakers are very direct and immediate sounding and don't hide anything.  For me, they sound significantly better with tubes (haven't heard First Watt designs but hear that's a good match) and can really demonstrate differences in amplifiers and upstream components.

Thank you @seikosha , you've provided me with a complete explanation.

And thanks to @ihor and
@jmolsberg for your listening impressions.

From the website...
The new 8" driver is an improvement over the very popular 8" driver of the past. The sound is like the RS5 on steroids. Very fast and dynamic, and able to handle complex music.

I really liked my Tekton 6.5t monitors.  Great midrange with right amount of punch about 12" from wall.  I tried their mini lores, too laid back for me.  I upgraded to ProAc Studio 148s and have not looked back.  There is a pair of the 148s for sale now.  Unfortunately, both of these models are no longer made.

Buy these and use the savings to get new grill covers. They will do your rock proud and not be annoying on the top end.

Someone may have mentioned this earlier in the thread, but both manufacturers offer a trial period, and I would suggest you take advantage of that to see how you like them in your room, with your associated equipment and your musical taste. I have had Tektons on loan from a friend and they are very nice, especially for the price. I owned the Omega Super Alnico Monitor a few years ago. Full range or single driver speakers have a particular kind of sound. Some people really dig them, some people don’t. That’s why I recommend taking advantage of the trial.Also, for what it’s worth, although the Omega‘s and other “single driver“ speakers of similar design do not have an electronic crossover, they do have a mechanical crossover, i.e., the transition between the main cone and the smaller, whizzer cone. Let me also add that Louis of Omega is a wonderful guy and a pleasure to deal with. I was one of those people who couldn’t warm-up to the full range driver sound, but Louis was never less than a total gentleman – I really came to like the guy very much. I don’t have much experience with Eric over at Tekton, but I know a lot of people like him, as well.
