Leben 600 with Omega Super 6 or Super 8



I am in process of picking the LEBEN-600.
Since i cant make my B&Ws run with this lovely amp with nostalgic looks, i have been looking for single drivers.

So its either the Super 6 XRS or Super 8 XRS for me.

Shall be a pleasure to hear from friends, who know the signature of both Super 6 XRS & Super 8 Alnico XRS.

I have a room size of 12x12 for now BUT will be moving the set up to a living room of dims - 30x30 approx.

Questions:

1) Does the sonic signature differ for both Super 6 XRS & Super 8 XRS.

2) I am looking for a larger soundstage (as anyone else) with an enveloping sound. Need to know the ideal/optimal room sizes for both of these speakers.

3) I am presuming that LEBEN 600 shall be ideal for either.

I thought to pay a visit to Louis, but the US embassy didnt find my reason concrete to grant me Visa to see Louis. phew! We do so much for Audiophilia ;)
*just kidding bro. Am from India.

@ TVAD
Those points, make a lot of sense and quite sanely so. Thanks.

These mistakes are usually committed when you get ur eyes laid on equipment, audition of which not possible. Since neither of these were available hence i was left with no choice but to discuss with friends in here and on - www.theAudiophile.net

But i personally have picked amps first and then heard speakers, just cause it was portable for me to take the amp to friends and shops who could permit me listening to the speakers with my piece of metal. Thats how i cud instantly pick an 805S for my smaller room.

For the 30X30 room, listening zone shall be 22x15. On the speaker audition it does make sense n i shall go that way, with all thats available indeed, yet just wanted to understand better and to meet a few who - didnt like Omegas and for what reason.

@ Musica
Thanks for sharing your experience in detail. Does give a perspective.

What other speakers do u have?
How wud u rate the true holographic soundstage(if u get that), considering best positioning of the Omegas. Kindly rate it out of 10.

Best wishes

Spot on Charles,
We are as correct as TVAD, he has been kind enuf to point things out. Which i quite a gesture.

I have faced people intentionally misleading myself and also others for their personal benefits or plain simple jealousy. So it feels nice to hear from sane souls and to know that gooddness prevails.

Anyway, shall love to invite anyone willing to share experience on www.theAudiophile.net , it shall be great to have open minds like you all with intention to share and push good hi-fi sensibility. Hope to see some of you there, The forum is supported by Cardas & Vipera cables (Denmark) for now.

P.S. In the meantime i heard from someone here who is to quote me for Assembled Wavac kit with 300B's + custom single driver speakers. Shall share details.
@ Tvad
While you amay not be incorrect, i feel that it was easy for me to move around with my amp than a tower speaker to various shops for auditions.

While my way could work for me, I am just another audiophile with another opinion to just listen the opinion of, but do what one feels is right.

Ideally, i would prefer to switch both amp and speakers with options available, if i am at a huge hifi shop to audition.
@ Musica
Devore, may not ever happen.

But i shall certainly keep ye friends updated.

Ballan, TVAD, Charles, Musica
..Thanks brothers.


Guys a little away from topic.
But how do we compare the sound of -

Ayon Triton
Vs
Leben 600

Leaving the Bass apart, which one have you heard, throw bigger soundstage.

*I have heard some friends pointing me to go for Leben 600 only, for musicality.

**Other few friends believe Triton would be a better all rounder with may be 5-10% fall in "clarity", compared to Leben600.

Pls advise when you can.

Many thanks
