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.

Trehansid,
Tvad made some good pointe except for suggesting you choose the speakers first. Your approach of amp first then speaker is just as valid. The point is ultimately proper speaker/amp matching. If for example you decided to go SET/OTL amps you would find a suitable speaker. Conversely if you went with a horn or say a planar speaker you`d then look for a suitable amplifier. DIfferent starting point but same result, what came first the chicken or the egg?
Best of luck

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.
