How Good Are Omega High Efficiency Speakers?


Hey A’goners.Due to forced downsizing I had to sell my beloved S.F.Toy Towers & 50wpc.Class A,PP,EL34 I/A a few months ago & switched to a 10wpc.Class A,SE,EL34 amp & very small monitors.Now in a position to start upgrading & believe I want to stick with the low powered SE amp,possibly even moving to 300B SET.
Top of my speaker shortlist are the Silverline Audio Prelude+ but they are $2000.00,not out of budget range but if I don’t have to spend that so much the better as the savings can go toward amp upgrade.
More research led me to the Omega speaker line.I have ALWAYS wanted a pair of speakers finished in Ebony veneer & they offer that on their entire line.The "Super 7 Monitor Mk.II"looks like the model I would want,perfectly sized & spec’d at a decent 45Hz.on the low end.
I value an organic,natural sound with ZERO brightness/harshness along with excellent imaging & sound staging.Source is OPPO BDP105D used for Redbook/SACD/DVD-A discs & streaming via USB.Cables are all Acoustic Zen Zero Crystal Copper/Silver-Copper, room is around 14’x12’x8’ & is perfectly treated.Musical taste includes pretty much everything from Chamber/Baroque,Smooth Jazz,Big Band Standards to Reggae & Classic Rock.
So do you Omega owners think I would be happy with these speakers?
Thanks very much,take care...

I have a pair, the cabinet work is beautiful,I think they are model ts2r a great speaker,it has the Fostex driver in it with the wizzer cone,it can be a little dry and shy on the bass side,but  i purchased mine on the second hand market,so I don't know if they have been broken in,i also feel that they should have put in a more ROBUST driver!!!
Yeah like Rich said my Omegas were a flea market find for $25.00 in the box, so getting them for $ 25.00 is what rich wish he could get,dozens year old speaker for that price is not what  RICH could get, he paid FULL PRICE, but they sound and look good sitting next to my new wilsons, that Rich wish he could set in his listen room.
