I want to talk to you more about your Omega experience. I haven't had time to really read all of your thread. Are you the guy in Denver? Anyway, what did the Dirty Weekends not do for you? I own a pair and they're by far the most all around best speaker I have ever owned. They are in my main theater system. I did have them in my main two channel system with my way more expensive amps and electronics and they were simply stunning! I liked that I could slam some NIN and really be moved, then switch it up to female vocals and be just as impressed. They're just a very well rounded do it all kind of speaker. Now all that being said. Omega's are superb speakers! I owned a pair before, Super 3XRS's with built in subs ran off a 2 watt per channel Super Zen. Match made in heaven. I am now on to my second pair of Omega speakers. Louis is in the building stage right now of monitor speakers for me. They're going to have dual RS5 drivers in a custom wide baffle enclosure with a front port. I went with the RS5 driver because they're even quicker and livelier than the CAM drivers. From what I have been told, the fastest and best imaging driver Louis offers. Just a little lean on the bass which I am augmenting with subwoofers. So no concerns there. I get the luxury of different systems to play with. All different. But I will post impressions of the two differences between the ZU's and Omega's.
How’d you know I’m in Denver? So I had the Zu’s and really enjoyed them. They were in a different space and I had to eq them to get the most out. To be honest I can’t remember them well enough to compare to the CAM’s I have. I sold the Zu’s to try the Harbeths. Like I mentioned, I really liked the Zu’s when I had them so didn’t sell because I didn’t like them. Just trying new things. But the CAM’s have impressed me completely. Didn’t know you could get such big sound out of such a small speaker. So now I can’t wait to get the Super 6 Alnico XRS. This is what’s running them
That's top secret. FBI type of stuff. I can't disclose that information. Lets just say, I am the eyes and ears of this institution! Kidding. You and I have talked in length over at Audiokarma! I think we even talked about getting some CO people together for RMAF but that never came to fruition. I hear ya. On the wanting to try new things. Being on these forums sure as heck doesn't help. I have the luxury of 3 different systems in my home so I am making them all very different from one another. Kind of like what beer do I want today? Porter, Stout, Pilsner. IPA or Lager. All very good, just depends on what mood I am in. I would hate to only have one speaker to chose from because they all offer different and unique characteristics from one another. People always ask, well which one is better? None of the above. They're all just different. All three are VERY good speakers. 1st world problems huh. LOL But I have my ZU's in the theater. I have Magnepan LRS's in my office/two channel music room and Louis is building me a pair of dual RS5 wide baffle monitors, which I am putting in the office and moving the Maggie's downstairs to my living room system. As you can see, those three choices are drastically different from one another. I'll listen to my ZU's for a couple of weeks, then start missing the Maggie's so listen to those for two weeks, then miss my ZU's. Now I'll get to throw one more speaker into the mix. Anyway, yes, Omega's are very special. Why it's my second pair. I'm curious to see how they sound in that room compared to the Maggie's. The Mag's are VERY good speakers!Welcome to AC Kray! It's about time you joined us.
Ah yes! from CS. You are lucky you get 3 diff systems. But I am getting very close to leaving it be and not change anything for a while. Offer still stands if you ever want to get together and listen/talk shop
Looking real nice. Omega presents with such simplistic elegance and gentility.
Well I got one speaker Fedex botched this. One delivered today and the other scheduled for tomorrow.
I’ve had my CAM’s and DeepHemp 8’s for a few days now and to be honest I wasn’t bowled over by them at first but they’ve come a long way since then and I’m really enjoying them now. I imagine they’ll get better yet as they only have about 60 hours on them. They are absolutely gorgeous in hand sawn Ebony, have a look for yourself.

Exercise patience they will reward you with beautiful music
Omega’s getting new shoes today....
I was reading a lot of posts on Isoacoustics website. I mean I am sure they are good and a great way to isolate and decouple your speakers and equipment but does it make as big of a difference in the sound as they claim? From some of the stuff I was reading, it was like a night and day difference.
The Gaia’s are a nice addition. I don’t feel I heard a “night and day” difference but feel things tightened up a bit so to speak. I also added some maple blocks. I used the omega spikes with a M6 female I installed in the blocks. The blocks brought out a bit more bass as my omegas are bottom ported.
