Hi All,
I would like to preview the new Super 3 series. The website now is being upgraded and this is a good time to talk about the new speakers that I have been working on for a while now.
The new RS5 OEM driver is now available and is exclusively used in the new Super 3 line. The new designs are Omegatuned to get the most out of the RS5 drivers.
The new Omega Super 3 series with RS5 drivers incorporate 2 new standmount speakers and an all new slim floorstander. The Super 3 XRS is staying and retuned.
With the combination of the RS5 driver and new cabinets, the super 3 series is better than ever. The balance is very linear throughout the frequency range. Bass and mid-bass is now lower and fuller, mid-range very even and top end is balanced more than ever before. All the speakers in the 3 series line are extremely fast and articulate have a much stronger foundation, see though transparency and a balance that is extremely even. Also I have increased the sensitivity, dynamics, and reduced the break-in times dramatically.
The Omega Super 3 series are not fussy at all with associated amplifiers whether Tube or Solid State. The increased sensitivity allows the use of very low powered amps.
Cabinets are designed and built in house and incorporate my use of multilayer wall construction. Baffles and backs are all 1” thick. The combination of Softwood MDF, Hardwood MDF, phenolic sheet and veneer are still used. Cabinets are post-formed and all edges are hand chamfered, filed and dressed. Magnetic grills are standard and all surfaced are veneered. I use flared ports, driver cutouts are eased on the inside edge, zinc inserts and brass machine screws to secure drivers and use heavy duty multi-way binding posts.
All Super 3 series speakers are built with proprietary drivers and cabinets all made in the U.S.A.
The Super 3 series speakers have a combination of wide baffle and good depth. The footprint is the same on all models except the XRS. The differences are heights.
Models include:
Super 3 T
Super 3 E
Super 3 S
Super 3 XRS
The Omega RS5 driver is so versatile that I will have variations and fun projects.
