ZU OMEN speakers 12ohms??


I am looking into the Omen speakers , but the 12 ohms impediance is throwing me off. I have a ss amp 100 watts , 8 ohms and a tube amp 35 watts with 4,8,or 16 ohms . Whats the best way to go ,and how does the 12 ohm figure into this?

I've had my omens for 5 months or so ... and I do like them a lot.. a bit on the bright side but then agaim the room they are in is fairly large with high ceilings. I run them through an Audio Refinement Pre-2DSP with a Multi 3 amp (125WPC). I'm considering trying the tube route to see if I can warm up the sound a tad ... although if the difference it not HUGE, I more than likely will stick with my current setup.
Drift, the differance will be a huge one for the pos.
Choose your tube amp wisely. There is a lot of info here on AG about tube amps. Spend some hours reading before you make your decision.
I wish you the best in luck.

Drift,

There is a long thread on audiocircle you may want to check out wherein a lot of owners chime in on what they are using to drive their Omens with. Some great information there--its in the 'cheap and cheerful' section.

The best solid state I've experienced with my Soul Superflys is a Redgum RGi120 integrated which I suspect would sound fantastic on the Omens. very fast, transparant and super musical.
Excellent choices for the Omens that I have enjoyed ( and none are bright at all as I am sensitive to the brightness) include:
1. Miniwatt EL84
2. Melody I2A3
3. Shuguang 300b from Grant Fidelity
4. First Watt F3 ( I have a Rawson clone and love it)
5. Virtue audio Sensation

I have a very bright room.....and I found that placement and the DAC choice where also very important for toning down the highs.....and now my brightness is non existent ( I use a Tranquility DAC).

Hope this helps.
