2 way vs 3 way / Monitors vs. Floorstanding

hosehead....omega offers some fine speakers with 6" and 8" drivers that provide excellent bass for a moniter..these are not tiny speakers but the real thing..most expensive one is 1500, too. A nice pair can be had for 799 (Grande 6).

Be warned there is a long break in period for single driver speakers.

C123666 - well, whaddya know! I'm pretty much USDA-certified Clueless and didn't know anything about the Omega Grande 6 or 8's. I'll certainly keep an open mind on these things, 'cause I've never heard 'em (doh! if I'd never heard about 'em I certainly had never heard 'em), but please forgive me if I'me having a personal problem getting over the "dual-cone paper driver". I'm sure they've put some hard work into getting these things to do their stated 46- or 50-20K Hz - honest I do! It's just these darned youthful memories of cheap-o dual-cone car crud speakers, and now we're looking at $800-$1400 a pair. I'll bet they have nice cabinets...

Sorry - I really should keep an open mind. I'll do better next time.

Amen Nrchy. Prospective speaker buyers should pay attention to Nrchy's post. Well said and very appropriate here.
