Need ideas to match a pair of monitor with 40WPC tube amp

I use and would suggest Omega Loudspeakers.  I currently have the Compact Alnico Monitors (w/ Croft Hybrid Integrated), as well as the Super 7 MK2 (w/ Prima Luna PL5 Amp) in play.  

For your budget, there are the 

Super 3i @ $700

Super 7 MK2 @ 1000

These speakers work best with tubes.  Plenty of detail and speed.  They can be finished to your liking.  Even though they are rear ported, they sound pretty good against the back wall.  They are single driver speakers, so they are non-fatiguing and have less distortion.  Vocals and acoustic music are sublime.  Play well at low volumes.   

I think there is only so much you can do with a bedroom system.  The room is chock full of furniture and your listening positions are limited ... you are laying down or in a chair and the room is only so big.  

Get the music to sound good to the ears. as opposed to trying to get the audiophile niceties checklist right.  


Best regards,

If you do have interest in the Omegas, give Louis Chochos at Omega a call.  Very helpful guy.  

I have been using the Omegas primarily in my den system for 17 years or so.  Started out with the Super 3i then graduated to the Super 7 MK2 and went with the Alnico Monitors (CAM) when a great price was offered for a pair on the Omega web site store.

The driver has seen improvements over the years.  17 years back I found the whizzer cone gave vocals a bit of 'hooty-ness'.  That has long been dealt with.  I like the Super 7's especially with rock and ballsier music, the driver moves a lot of air.  The Alnico driver at 6 inches is a very nuanced and refined listening.

Tubes make the difference.  I was using a Rega Brio for 5 years and while it was fine, that was the problem ... it was just fine.  

I understand what decooney is saying, but I am not chasing the SET, 300B amp dream with the Omegas.  Doesn't sound like you are either with a 40 wpc amp. I also don't tube roll, not nearly as much as I did 20 years back.  Most new production works out just fine.   

Obviously I think the Omegas are worth a try.
