I'm not Myron, but I do own a few pairs of Omega speakers and can give my opinion about the highs and lows.
For me, the highs...and I mean really up high...more like the harmonics of cymbals, bells etc. don't have that last utmost shimmer that you'll get with a dedicated tweeter. I don't notice it all the time but it is there sometimes, this is in comparison with some Harbeths and Kef LS50's I've owned. The highs are good though and many times I'll marvel at them never the less thinking..."no, there's nothing wrong with these highs." But yes, compared to some higher end tweeters they are lacking.
Same with the lows. The SAMS will start rolling off in the 50's, depending on your room. Until they get to that point, they are quite nice, with detail and definition. They don't boom and there is no boost in the upper bass like most speakers, so they may sound light at first.
It's funny, when you get new speakers or are listening to new speakers, if you are like I was, you are conditioned to concentrate on the highs and the lows. Most of us completely ignore the midrange...as long as it sounds okay, it's the highs and lows that wow us. After living with single drivers for quite a few years now, I no longer do this and it's the midrange that instantly captures me, and I think this is how it should be as this is where most of the music lies.
That said, I'll be the first to say that Single Driver speakers are not for everyone.
