can omega super3 reproduce orchestral experience?

wondering if and how the small fostex driver will be able to reproduce the slam of a live orchestral cresendo. friend is looking into a pair of speakers for less than 600 bucks. using mediocre tube integrated 40wpc EL22's, 14x17 room and does no want to have to use a sub. HT use is not a priority. We heard lots about the omegas and there is a pair used right now for under 600. Any thoughts would be appreciated. we have considered quad 12L's, vsa vr-1's, totem rainmakers, ohm mini floorstanders, decware mg944's, hornshoppe speakers and many more. The sound he wants is big soundstage, space between instruments, smooth trebles, neutral, and an ability to SLAM when called upon. Any ideas? omega's fit the bill?

Yup as Marco said..the Sols should get your friend very close to what he's looking for. The Super 3s are very nice speakers,but their not designed to give SLAM. The Omega 3 speaker is designed to give you more of an intimate electrostatic sound on a smaller scale. They are imaging champions..the little buggers will disappear in a room! Their strong point is midrange magic..they'll out perform the Sols in this area IMHO.

Good listening
