Hi All,

Sadly I have decided to sell my Omega's, I still love them but am moving to a much bigger room and want to try something different and need the money. I never did try sealing them.

Here are my speakers:



The Super's are a beatiful custom pearl silver with some faint gold tone. Very Neutral and will go with everything. This was a one off custom job by Louis.

I was using the DeepHemp Towers as stands and had Herbies Big Fat Dots in between, I will include those if the Super's and Deep's are bought together.

Here are more pics:





The Deep Hemp Sub's are one off Towers, and are in Ebony. The Deep's really aren't required with most of my music. As the subs are AC powered, they need to be plugged in. My main source is an imod, and my amp is an RWA Sig 30.2. A few weeks ago I had been listening to some Jazz for a couple hours, really enjoying it, and only later noticed that my subs weren't even on, the power point was off as I had been playing with it previously. As the rest of the system is battery powered, I hadn't noticed, and suprisignly didn't miss the subs at all. I normally only have them set at a very low level anyway.

With certain types of music with very low bass though, the Deep's really do add that solid foundation down the bottom, and are so fast that it's impossible to tell there are subs in the system, they integrate with the Super's perfectly.

Pics of the subs:







Both Super's and Deep's are perfect in every way, functionally, audibly and visually. I still have all the original packaging, all perfect.

The Super's cost $2500 new plus shipping. I would like $1700 USD shipped worldwide. Less if within Australia.

The Deep's cost $2900 a pair if bought separately new plus shipping. I would like $1900 USD shipped worldwide. Less if within Australia.

The total for both Super's and Deep's if bought together from Louis would be $5200 plus shipping. I would sell both for $3500. SOLD

I'm open to any offers at all so please don't hesitate to ask. :)

Please pm/email or post here with any questions.

Steve

Steve,

I can't believe you're selling those  :duh: even if you're moving your gear to a larger place. But ok, that's your decision  :thumb:.

Cheers,
Jouni

Given history, Louis will likely move it when he see it. But boy the photos are great!

Yes, those are fine pictures. :) The subs spikes are very impressive. The brass round head screws is a nice detail. Is Louis using wool felt around the Super 8 Monitors drivers now? I can't tell from the pics if that last ring around the drivers is felt or not.

2.25" gold plated brass. Louis has an eye for small details, and IMO does not cut corners. Something hard to find at this price point.

Looks like the felt rings on my 6" Alnicos.

BTW: Last weekend I spent time at a local dealer listening to $8000/pr and $1000/pr B&Ws. Sure made me appreciate the sonics and value from Super 6 monitors at about $1400. I am officially spoiled  :lol:

Hmmm......I'll just have to find a way to install little wool rings around 4-1/2" inch drivers. Maybe I'll just use the sticky back felt that is sold at most hardware stores. I'll cut rings that will stick to the metal flange of the drivers.

Hi Stevenkelby,

Nice pictures and sorry to see that you're selling them.

Good luck and I can keep this up for a little longer, but it should be posted in the marketplace.

Thanks,
Louis

Hi Louis, thank you and I know I will miss them. Ill keep recommending your speakers to people, they do have a wonderful, uniquely involving sound.

I may post the Supers in the FS forum anyway tomorrow if that's ok, and they haven't sold by then, close but no deal yet.

Thanks again,

Steve.


EDIT: NOW SOLD. Thanks to all who inquired, and thanks to Louis. :)

Steve.
