Omega single driver speakers

Has always been using speakers with multiple drivers and like sonic signature of Sonus Faber, Harbeth and etc, I started wondering whether I should try single driver, crossover-less speakers such as Omega CAM in my second system.
 
This is for chamber music, piano solo, and vocal (popular) in a medium sized room (16 x 40) with a low output tube amplifier. The speakers will be placed alongside the long wall, about 10-12 feet from my sitting position.

Any feedback on Omega, especially CAM? Thin or full sounding? Bass enough? High freq beaming or satisfactory? Warnings and recommendations (including other brands) are welcomed.

I received lots of good advice on a thread I posted, "Tekton or Omega." I called Louis the designer to get the real dope and we spoke for a while. The single driver speakers are fast, transparent, and detailed.
I listen mainly to classical and he said for complex music one of his 2-driver speakers would be better. No crossover, just 2 drivers which can reproduce the same frequency spectrum more clearly and at higher SPL’s.
Nice guy, give him a call. He offers an in-home trial.

@fizz, although I haven’t heard them, Louis told me they are not a laid-back speaker. That’s why I didn’t give them a try. For classical, I want a presentation that puts me mid-way back in the concert hall.
They seem to be a forward sounding speaker with very good imaging. That’s all I can tell you.

This is what he recommended for classical...

This one for a large room with less complex music...

If you look thru my thread about Omega, you'll find that people love the speakers.
