Devores and Omegas - input please

Thought I would poll the group here... I am reading up on higher sensitvity speakers once again (I have taken many a trip to these grounds over the years, but always deterred by trip’s end due to what I perceived as horn-like or paper cone type distortions and proportionally weak bass), and would like to solicit input from happy owners of better Devore (0/93 or 0/96) and Omega speakers... these are of course known to be with higher sensitivity and higher/benign impedance (and decent 'accuracy'!), thus well matched for sweet lower powered tube amps...

Comments and comparisons would be especially welcome to other well known, well regarded, leading speaker makes known for their natural sound such as Harbeth, ProAc, Vandersteen, etc etc.

Thank you.

@jayctoy,.
Interesting comments on the Omega speakers. I have not heard them,  but via owner feedback and a friend who’s ears I trust they are said to be very good.(Especially those using the Alnico magnets). Do you find them reasonably natural and realistic in regard to tone and timbre of instruments and voice?

Charles whatever gear you connect to them , that’s exactly you will hear. Yes the timbre and tone of the instruments on tubes are so naturally balance.When I first heard from Markr1 system, I was shocked how good and naturally balance,are the alnico. I went home I can’t listen to my Andra speakers set up.Omegas thought me. Musicality and palpabilty.

I prefer the regular Alnico than the new high output two drivers, the regular alnico are more articulate and easy to listen for my taste.
