> Anyone received their Omens yet?????

A friend got her's about a week ago, I helped her unpack them. I was only able to listen briefly, but I was impressed at how they sounded fresh out of the box when driven by an 18 watt Almarro integrated. She thinks they're terrific and and that they have that certain "something."
Cpapace, I've built some speakers and really enjoyed it. Next on my list was a full range + tweeter, like the speakers being discussed here.

But when you price out the parts to build them, including Eminence full-range drivers, tweeters, "crossover" parts, cabinet materials, veneer, misc. hardware, and so on, you realize that these folks are not making much money selling these things for $800-1000. Compared to many commercial builds, you really get a lot of raw materials for your money.

Irrelevant? Let's not get carried away.

There are certainly exceptions, but I'd suggest that when most of us find a piece of gear that really clicks, we keep it for considerably longer than six weeks.

Obviously, we respect your right to buy and sell as you wish, but to sell equipment so soon after describing it with such a fervor makes me think you're a really fickle 'phile!

Which is to say a bit farther down that path than the rest of us loons. ;-)
