My end game for speakers is the Omega Super Alnico High Output XRS, they're his top of the line tower speakers with better sensitivity rating at 97db. Not only would I be getting the extra speaker for bass, but the better sensitivity would increase that performance flat overall. They're $5k tho so not sure when I'll be picking them up...
His Alnico Hemp Cone drivers produce the most organic and gorgeous mid range I've ever heard. Not that there isn't better out there, surely there is, but the Omegas house sound is exactly what I like. Unfortunately the Monitors I have produce nothing of impact under 50hz, of which I'm sure the towers will fix. Someday...  |
Interesting. I was considering The Omega CAM's.
FWIW, I've been using Klipsch Heresy III's for 6-7 years. They are 99db but the impedance dips to 4 ohms. In a 14 x21 room placed in corners the bass was adequate. I moved in with the GF and in the present room I could not place them in corners and the bass was as you describe with the CAM's. I added a HSU VTF-2 MK5 sub and the bass was back in spades. It was easy to integrate, is very tunable and the 350 watt amp is fine with efficient speakers. I thought I might need 2 subs and called HSU. The rep thought one would be fine and he was correct.
Perhaps a sub or two from Omega may be the ticket?
