Hello,
I am pondering the sale of my wonderful Omega 3 amp that Frank built into a Hafler XL280 chassis. He first put in Omega 2 circuits and later upgraded it to the Omega 3 when a small signal transistor had to be replaced.... "we can fix it or we can make it sound better..." How can one resist that line?
This is a delightful sounding amp, voiced with "just a touch of honey".
It's also impossible to kill. I used it to drive Infinity Kappa 8's whose impedance dropped to 2 ohms at certain parts of the frequency curve. It could drive these at quite loud listening levels in a large two story room.
Frank, what is a fair price for this unit? The Hafler shell has aged well, I'd give it a 7/10 to be conservative. I replaced the speaker terminals and if memory serves, a power switch, a long time ago. The upgrades happened in the early 1990's.
My focus is now 2 channel analog so no rear channels at this time. I may press my ancient ESS 7 speakers into that duty, if I do I'll keep Omega 3. Or maybe just use them for side tables...
Anyway, curious about a selling price for old Omega 3. BTW, I'm pretty sure I still have the shipping carton for it, too.
