I bought these over the winter off this forum from dburna. And they have been nothing short of terrific! The original ad for the speakers and stands is here:

These Omegas have pinpoint imaging and the unreal midrange you'd expect. For jazz, vocals, folk and most rock they are hard to beat. I have even played Floyd and Zeppelin with great success. But that's not their strength. But man, you can't beat them for Miles or Phil Woods playing in a club!
All units are in great shape. Unfortunately, I scratched up the tops on both Omegas when I was building and testing the tweeter units. I'm such an IDIOT. I'm mad about it still. I tried to rub the scratches out with 0000 steel wool, but wasn't successful with the catalyzed finish they have. So the tops are flawed. I use a felt cover between the tweeter and the speaker so I don't see it. The rest of the surfaces on both speakers are flawless. Performance-wise, these are without issue.
I've been running these with a Red Wine Audio Signature 30.2 LFP-V amp with great success. I've also used a 1.5W SET and an Fsiher 400 with good results. They are about 95dB efficient.
I am asking $700 for the speakers and stands, which need to stay together. Or, I'd take for a really nice set of Klipsch Cornwalls. I will ship, but contact me for costs.
Some of the images show the stereo subs and outboard tweeters that I've been using with them. They are available as well. I can get you more pics or info, just ask. I am located in SE WI.
