Omega speakers


I recently switched from a pair of B&W monitors to single driver speakers (Omega Super 3R). I love the sound of it, especially the midrange. But the best thing was when my girlfriend said to me, "That sounds a lot better than your other speakers". I asked her how and she said that it sounded more life-like. This is coming from someone who thinks her mini ipod is the end-all-be-all.

Anybody using a subwoofer with these little speakers? If so, which one?

Thanks.

Hi Doc,

As Gmood1 already mentioned, I am using the Acoustic Visions MRS-10 subwoofer with the Omegas with great results (see my virtual system pages). Incidentally, it was Gmood1 who recommended that I should look into the MRS-1 or Adire Rave! The sub is very nice looking, has a fast tight sound and goes down to about 25 Hz measured in my room. For around $475 including shipping you can't beat it.

Also, I have heard many good things about the Adire Rava (older model which used to be $400), which uses the same plate amp as the MRS-10 but a larger 12-inch Adire driver. The newer Rava is supposed to be much better with a completely different amp and improved driver for twice the price ($800). I have not heard either one but you should be able to find quite some more info here. Also, someone else here uses the ACI Force sub with the Omega Super 3 which should be worth considering as well.

By the way: How many hours do you have on the Omegas?

Good luck with the sub and enjoy the Omegas.

Hi Gmood1, as always, thanks for all the suggestions. I actually have never had a chance to listen to a Lowther based speaker and the LT-2000 looks like a good entry into that. I wonder whether the Abby's can easily modified for a Lowther driver!? I actually have the Abby's already on order, they should be arriving any time soon. I just love the looks and the sound of the Abby's. I'll keep you updated on how things turn out.

Doc, already any ideas which direction (sub) you are going to choose?

All the best,

Rene
