"Apparently the $500 Super 3T was not out of place with a $4600 300B Woo WA5."
There is a common axiom among audiophiles that you should put most of your money into speakers. Speakers may be the link in the chain where the most improvement can be made, making them the single most important component once you reach a reasonable threshold. However, Omega speakers seem to reach a very high level of performance at a very reasonable price (< $1,000). I have found that they are resolving enough to not be outclassed by almost any amp. I have driven a pair of Super 3's with a Sonic Impact Tripath amp, a Monarchy SM-70 Pro (25 wpc, class A ZFB - great amp), and finally a custom WE 421A Amp. The last is a blatant copy of a Fi 421a amp that retails at $4,000. In each case I feel that the amp has remained the limiting factor, and I am still using the original Fostex drivers (I've been meaning to upgrade to the RS5's but have been lazy). I am using them within their capabilities in a 150 sq ft room in the relative near field. In a much bigger room I could see some limitations.
They are by far my best speakers. My two other systems are a pair of Dynaco A25XL's driven by a NAD D3020 and a pair of Yamaha NS-690's driven my a Kenwood KA-7100. Any of these systems would satisfy most listeners, but the Omega system has a magic to it.
