Hi All,
First post, here.
I'm aiming to purchase some Omega loudspeakers within the next couple months to be paired with a Rega Brio3 amp (in the short term) and then ultimately a Decware Zen UFO2 (at some point in the next 18 months). I'm wondering which speakers would be ideal for me.
I mostly listen to Jazz, 60s and 70s rock, soul, classical, acoustic music, some modern stuff, as well. 98% of my listening is vinyl, via a Rega P3 w/ Hana EH and Darlington Labs MP7 phono pre. I currently have a pair of Epos M12.2 bookshelf speakers on stands. I've loved them but they're only 86db and I'm hungry for an upgrade.
My current listening room is a mid-sized living room, about (16" x 18") but I'll likely be moving soon so a versatile speakeer is preferred. I prefer near-field, focused listening but I occasionally like to turn it up a bit and have the music fill the room while I move around the house.
I've been leaning toward the Super Alnico High Output Monitors, as I like the way they look and they seem like they would deliver the best of what Omega has to offer. I'm open to spending more on the XRS towers but I wonder if the monitors would give me what I need...and I can always add a sub at a later date. Am I missing out on the "XRS" with the SAM HOs?
Any insights would be appreciated! I'm particularly interested in the sonic differences between the speakers.
Thanks!
