Hi Tim,

I feel the bass on the 20.7 is superior to the bass on the Omega. The Omega to me sounded very light in the bass department, while the 20.7 produced full, fast and robust bass. In the midrange, I'd also give the edge to the 20.7, there was just more presence than the Omega. In the treble, I would give the edge to the Omega as it was a bit smoother in the higher frequencies. As far as soundstage goes, the 20.7 throws a huge soundstage, much larger than the Omega. The Omega are very nice speakers. I auditioned the ones with the external crossover. But the 20.7 with its all ribbon design just seems to do almost everything better in my opinion and for a lot less money. Kudos to Magnepan.
