The sound quality of the three Omega speaker lines (3, 7, Alnico Hemp) are a progression in sound quality, and price, but not in value. They are all equal in value for the dollar, and they all IMO are a far better value than anything near their price. It doesn't matter whether it's a Super 3 Desktop, an Alnico Monitor or XRS, or any Omega in between - they are a steal.
Without a doubt the Alnico Hemp Monitor and XRS are the best speakers Louis makes, and they have been for years.
Sadly, many believe single driver speakers should be lower cost than multi driver ones.....because.....well.....it only has one driver. They don't realize that in many cases that single driver is worth far more $ than an entire array of drivers in many, if not most multi driver speakers, not to mention the engineering required to make a great full range driver. Can't rely on a crossover network to sort everything out like with multiple drivers. Everything must be done by that one driver. One reason many manufacturers have tried their hand at single drivers and given up, is because they either haven't the patience or the skills to do so. Louis has both.
