SuperHemp gets a new name -- Recognizing Alnico’s unsurpassed ability to reproduce lifelike sound, Alnico drivers now included as standard equipment
November 14, 2008
Available now priced at $2,500 a pair, Omega’s SuperHemp has been renamed the ‘Super 8 Alnico Monitor’.
Before today’s announcement, Alnico drivers were a chargeable upgrade for SuperHemps. Now all Series 8 speakers include 8-inch Alnico drivers as standard equipment.
Pricing is reduced too: Super 8 Alnico Monitors price out $250 per pair LESS than comparably equipped SuperHemps. Same speaker. New name. Lower price.
“Alnico drivers produce a tone, subtle musical textures and enhanced bass response conventional ferrite drivers just can’t match,” says Louis Chochos, Omega Founder. “They sound too good to not make them the standard for all Omega upper-end products,” adds Louis.
With recent product introductions, Omega now offers four different Alnico-based models to choose from. So customers are the ultimate winners.
