First post, and first time owner.
Yesterday I picked up my RS8 monitors and DeepOmega8 sub yesterday afternoon and have been listening ever since! I had the opportunity to audition some other RS8's before picking these up and I am just as blown away as before, and even more so now with the addition of the sub.
Prior to these speakers I had a pair of B&W CM9 floorstanders in my listening space and had been enjoying them for the better part of the past 5 years. A friend of mine suggested giving some Omega speakers a listen and I am VERY happy I did. It was as if I had been listening to music with a blanket over the speakers. Instantly new details I had never heard before with the CM9's, they were right in my face with the RS8's.
Im listening through a Red Wine Audio Isabella pre (with DAC), Red Wine Audio Ginevra phono stage into a Cayin TA30 for power, Scheu Premier MKII turntable with modded Rega rb301 tonearm. I've tried a few different amps into the RS'8s - APPJ, el84 Dennis Had Inspire and DecWare Zen. I certainly appreciate the delicacy of a SE amp, but the PP UL Cayin makes my Omegas sing at healthy volumes with no complaints (yet) from the neighbors.
Thank you, Louis for letting me audition the RS8's before hand and Making such an excellent product! Its only a matter of time before I come looking for a second sub.
I also have to thank Noel at Skylan for recommending me the SKY18D which are the perfect height for these speakers.
