Hiff Eff. Full Range Fostex Driver question

I am intrigued by the recent buzz on the Cain & Cain and Omega speakers. I talked at length with Louis @ Omega yesterday and am thinking about the Grande 6s. Has anybody replaced much larger and expensive speakers with something like this? Of course I will be buying a sub to augment the bass in my small room because I do like to listen to rock/metal very loud sometimes. Will the Omegas pull this off, or is this just wishful thinking? Current speakers are Montana SP2s which I absolutely love. But I am curious about the attributes of a full range, xoverless design. Am I a candidate, or should I just shut up and be ignorant and happy?

Gmood1 -- the +100 db spl simply allows you (or should) lots of headroom using little energy. Useful for dynamics!

It doesn't mean that you're obliged to listen at 1W average! BUT, if there is a transient in the programme matl that requires 30db headroom (I am dreaming, I know... oh well) it's very easy to achieve for someone who listens at an "average level" of ~70 -- all you need is amplification reserves in excess of 1W!
