Of course I'm biased, but the Blue Circle gear is exceptional, and a great value given how it's made and how it performs. There's a brand new 150 watt integrated coming out, my guess is it would drive any Ohm speaker beautifully.
I'm actually an omni novice. It's the only kind of loudspeaker I've never owned, i.e. I've had electrostatics, planar magnetics, ribbons, horns, waveguides, conventional dynamic systems, etc. Very much looking forward to experiencing the omni approach. This thread has been very helpful on tips/experience in integrating these types of speakers into the room. If this thread is still alive, I'll report back after hearing the Pennys.
