Omega The Seven Bookshelf Speakers

There's a pair for sale over at the music room. They might have some information there.

I have not heard the 7's but I did own a set of the SAM's and was very impressed with how well they did much of the sound scape. Best soundstage in any speaker I've ever owned by a good margin. good over all balance with just a hint of typical single driver/wizzer honk but very min. overall a nice speakers if matched with good electronics,  definitely low powered tube amps are excellent with them. 

they need a sub to fill out the bottom end/lower midrange.  

the 7's are not offered anymore 9from what i can see) so i cannot comment directly on them but there is not many bad reviews of omegas out there so that tells you something. 

I  have S.A.M. in my second system. I agree on their strengths outweighing their weaknesses.   Using a Cyrus i7XR amp with Vault 2i and REL r305 sub.   

Great sounding compact system.   They replaced a 25 year old pair of Sonus Faber Concerto.   The benefits of no crossover and single driver are apparent immediately with good electronics.  They really sound good at normal or a little more generous than average volumes.  They will play loud but that's not what these speakers are about.  I'm only using with a 40 watt amp but they seem to loose their composure when you push them 

Best to call Louis ,  he is a one man show .  

I don't know if the Seven are hemp cone alnico but the driver is of similar design to the C.A.M and S.A.M.  

Thank you all

I had a pair of Alnico 6s a few years ago, before the pandemic. I liked them quite a bit. The image (soundstage) was great but they were quite rolled off at the top and bottom end. I have found this to be true with most single driver speakers. I can augment the lower notes through careful use and matching of subwoofers. I used the Omegas with a variety of amps: Triode Labs 45, Audio Note OTO (EL84), a hand built single-ended KT77 amp and a Macintosh MC225 2-stage PP amp using 7591 tubes. That amp was by far the best match (to my ears) with the Omegas and just about every other high efficiency speaker I owned or tested.

FYI, I also had a pair or Coherent 8s at the same time I owned the Omegas. I spent quite a bit of time comparing the speakers. In the end I preferred the Coherent speakers with my ears, my room and my music. The Coherent 8s were still rolled off, but not as much. I wasn't fond of the residual effects from the Omega drivers And the Omegas sounded a little "congested" compared to the Coherent 8s. BUT, this is my opinion and I was using one model Omega speaker. Louis offers several models and will make custom products. I have no doubt that a different Omega speaker would have compared differently.
