@Brianportugal...I greatly prefer the Omegas to the Kef's and Silverlines. They image better, are much more dynamic at the listening levels I experience and once you hear the coherence of a single driver, you really do start noticing everything that goes on when you have a speaker trying to make two completely different drivers trying to sound the same when playing music. It's odd, until I had the Omegas, I really liked both the Kef's and Minuets and would have been skeptical that a single driver would have outperformed them for me in the way that the Omegas have.
In the rooms I played the Kef's in, I always had that typical upper bass hump going on that is common with two ways. The Silverlines were better in this regard. Surprisingly, going down to just below 60hz, the Omegas measure the flattest in my room at my listening chair using a simple SPL meter and test CD.
Obviously being high efficiency lets you play them with low powered tube amps too which is a huge plus. If your room isn't too large and you don't blast your music and you prefer tubes, they are worth a serious listen.
