Where are all the OG Omega people at?
« on: 10 Apr 2025, 02:42 pm »
I have been out of the two channel game for about 3 years now. When I stopped visiting this site this forum was hopping! What happened to it? It is like a ghost town now. I miss my fellow Omega friends. I started a thread on the Omega DynaTen and thought I would have a lot of responses, I got one. Let's get this party started again! Looking through the different posts though, does not look like a lot of interaction going on.  :(

OG?

My Omega SAM-HO and Rythmic mid-woofer combo is still my daily driver after six years.  Such stability makes new conversation sparse!

I did try a pair of Harbeth C7 XDs but they sounded fairly lifeless, though very even in freq response. 

I recently found Focus Fidelity's calibration software: https://www.focusfidelity.com/.  It is so much more user friendly than REW.  It generates convolution files that can be used by player software.  I use Roon but it works with JRiver and HQPlayer.  It has made a world of difference in taming the sound.  I mean a big world of difference!

I think most are still here, we just enjoy listening to our Omegas more than talking about them.  I am interested to hearing how your Dynas end up sounding.

I realize this is an older thread. I just wanted to say those are beautiful speakers

Thank you!  I'm very proud of them.  A true collaboration between Louis and me.  He was so flexible and generous.

I'm not OG, but I did enjoy pstrisik's journey, and was inspired by it. I went through a Dennis Had Inspire and then a First Watt J2, and landed with a Pass Aleph 5 for my Super 8 HO monitors. I have a REL T5x sub for support duties. I've loved the system for a while, but I don't post often. Most recently I gave this system a Denon turntable (3000) with a Denon 103R cartridge and a first gen Herron phono preamp. Frankly, now that I mention it, I am going to turn it on. It'll be warming up for about 45-60 minutes while I kick around the internet. 
Best to everyone.

Beautiful finish on those monitors!

Speaking of OG, I now realize I've been in the Omega world for more than 10 years now.  I even have the honor of originating the SAM, SAM-HO, and CAM acronyms in 2015!  :eyebrows:

pstrisik, it seems that Focus Fidelity would really help my room & system, but I am not strong with computers.  Based on your experience, is this software appropriate for someone with average computer skills?

Not to be a stick in the mud and maybe I missed it, but I'm still waiting for any comments on the 2-way Dyna 10. Just a single cap xover and 91 db efficiency would seem to make it a solid winner. But  :scratch:

The site say only 90dB/8Ω what will need 100W Solid State.
Iam in the FR game because the cross-overless feature, so to me a sole cap or resistor in not a upgrade or desirable.
But certainly is a great upgrade for those audiophiles coming from a commercial two way speakers with a regular cross-over.

Said it, the Dyna 8XRS is way more convenient to small amps at 98dB and yet have the benefit of single point source, no Tweeter and less price.

Driver: Proprietary Omega RS8 Full-Range with ferrite magnet
Frequency Response: 38-20kHz
