...These drivers and All current Omega drivers went through many months of R&D and testing,- None off the shelf or copies of anybody's speaker.
Unless you heard the most current Omega models ,then you have not heard Omega speakers at all !!...
I'm not here to argue since I did not hear the newer offerings and have no idea how much they improve over the older ones.
From personal experience I would not exchange older Living Voice Avatar MKI which I own for older Omegas which I heard at the shows crossover warts and all that. My personal reference FR driver is an old JBL LE8 black cone without wizzer. I am very familiar with PHY and best Lowther drivers but if I would have to stick with FR I would still choose JBL LE8.
No doubt that Louis is making absolutely gorgeous , impeccably executed speakers for give away prices considering nowadays market reality. Now , once He'll make an alnico 2- way even with small paper tweeter and get rid of wizzer cone I may look for summer second job to get one . It would have to be better though than higher Audio Note E model or Tannoy 10" Red.
The reality of single driver speaker is that after initial love affair ,most people simply move on and that's my suggestion for Louis as well although being a king of a niche market has it's perks .
