ZU OMEN speakers 12ohms??

I'm sure they'd sound better with better amplification, but should still be nice with your receiver. I haven't heard the Omen Defs, just the Soul Superflys and it is hard to make them sound 'bad' with amplification.

As far as creating a 5.1 system with the rest of the Omen speakers, I can only say of cours! That largely seems to be the point of the other speakers in the line--I think thats evident by the fact that they're actually offering bundle pricing on the Omen Defs and Bookshelves

I'd hold off on the sub and see if its needed in the setup. The Omen Defs are supposed to have a great bottom end and I suspect you may have a difficult time integrating subs to the speakers.

Texas42 - Did you get your Superflys yet?
Your impression of the Omens is encouraging to me since I ordered a pair last week. Still $999 at Music Direct. Expected delivery end January, so I've got a little while to wait before I hear them.

Sebrof,
Yes, we received the Superfly's (Superflies?) a couple of weeks ago and love them. At first I thought the sound was a bit too forward but I think that was only in contrast to the speakers I had replaced them with, which were more recessed in sound. I'm using a NOSValves modified vintage Scott 299D Tube Integrated with 16 ohms taps and the synergy is perfect! Just the right amount of bloom with dynamics. Startling realism without losing any musicality. Only thing I regret now (although my wife is fine with it) is that they didn't make them available in walnut when we ordered them (we have the cosmic carbon finish). Could return them for an exchange I suppose but they are too difficult to unplug now. Also, I highly recommend the Zu Mission cables with them.

2nd day with the Omens driven by a Sophia Baby Amp (10wpc). 2/10 of volume effortlessly fills my C-shaped 25x25 listening room to "loud conversation" levels. 5/10 of volume annoys people watching a movie 2 rooms away. As previously noted - the character changes are rather obvious as the break-in proceeds (starts somewhat congested but within few hours it comes alive). Right now Joe Henderson playing Jobim comes through precisely and evenly laid out throughout the frequency range - perhaps the lower octave not as full just yet.

I just received my Omens today. Ive been running them with a DIY 2A3 SET and so far so good. Plenty of power at 4 watts, no issues with the 12 ohm impedance. I've got a way to go before I need toake a decision but I'm pretty sure I'll keep them.
