Experience with the new Avantgarde Duo Omega

I currently own a pair of Duos that I am very pleased with. However, there is a new Duo Omega version available (a kit can be retrofitted to the non-Omega version). Does anyone have experience or observations with the new Omega version? The upgrade kit can be user installed and is not inexpensive. Thank you for your thoughts.

My understanding is that the cost of the Duo Omega upgrade kit is in the neighborhood of $8,000 USD.

Thank you Triode for your initial impressions... Consistent with feedback on Avantgarde's web site.

How difficult was installation? I am told it is easy to do. How long did it take you?

As far as pricing, I received one response for $8,000 and a second response at $7,500. Your stated cost was $7,000. I have not pursued explanation of such differences at this stage of my decision process.

Incidently, I run my Duos with Fi Audio of NY 2A3 Monos and Fi Audio full function preamp. Interconnect is Kondo Silver throughout. Speaker wires are Kondo Copper (bi-wired). I'm very happy with that combination. The 2A3 Monos seem to have plenty of authority with the Duos. I've not been bothered with any glare, or bass integration issues, at least to my ears. I think the Duos are great speakers, yet apparently the Omega upgrade makes them even better.
