Louis Chochos from Omega Speaker Systems


So I've been getting the itch to try out high efficiency full range speakers. I was looking into the Zu Dirty Weekends as they just went on sale a few weeks ago. In my research, the Omega name kept coming up in comparisons to Zu. Well come to find out Omega is just about a mile from my office and I reached out the Louis. Long story short....he's a gentlemen in every sense of the word. I'm graciously borrowing a pair of his Super 3 High Output XRS to try out and I must say that they are truly special speakers. 

I hear the folks at Zu are great too, just wanted to acknowledge one of the captains (or hopefully soon to be) of this industry. I'm truly honored to have met Louis, he was very generous with his time answering all my questions.

I own both brands, Omega and Zu.
Super 7 monitors from Omega and Omen Def from Zu. Very different speakers for different rooms/purposes. The Omegas are located in a small intimate den for quiet listening. The Zus are in a party room to listen to very loud pop/rock, sometimes playing along while we jam (guitars, bass, drums...).
I never spoke (personally or telephone) with anybody from both companies, but exchange several emails with Louis (Omega) and Gerrit from Zu. Both of them were extremely helpful and correct. They answered all my questions, made suggestions, gave me technical information and advise and never tried to push their products. Instead, they filled me with all their wisdom leaving the decision for myself.
These two companies are gems!
