Single Driver C&C Analog and digital 12V system, a Two-channel Audio System by raysracing

Omega RS5 3's
Room Size
big rectangle in the basement with low ceilings
System Overview
A quirky system of battery operated Tri-path amps and Trung Optocoupler Pre running old, but new to me Omega 3's with Updated RS5 drivers. The speakers are breaking in now, but dang. What an improvement over the hemp cones.
Music Preferences
Jazz of all kinds, but partial to Miles and Oscar, Indie rock of all kinds and classical of all kinds, but have been listening to a lot of violin concertos lately.
Room Description
Rectangular basement with low ceilings and a beam that runs horizontal that splits a long alcove on the back wall. There is a ton of air moving up in the alcove that needs attention. When our band was down here we thought it sounded good, but with stereo it is a challenge. Room has drywall/plaster over cinder block on all walls. No insulation. Stereo along the long wall.
Acoustic Treatment
6" fiberglass bass traps behind front speakers, random pieces of carpet, styrofoam and an unopened box of more fiberglass bass trap material in the back in the alcove by the back wall behind seating position and big insulated sheet (like moving blanket in one corner (where drum used to be)).
Listening Impressions
Right now the system is a bit hot. Glary in the top end as the hemp drivers break in again. They have this tendency, especially with digital amps. Imaging is finally falling in line as the Omega's are famous for. Sound quality is better every hour in a big way.
Media Storage
