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.

There are advantages and disadvantages to coincident speakers - basically locating your tweeter in the middle of your bass driver.  It certainly isn't a new idea - Tannoy did it and called it 'dual-concentric' many years ago (1940s).

The only way you are going to find out if they suit you is to try them out in your room against an alternative.
