I have been auditioning various single driver, high efficiency speakers since I decision to return to SET amplification. I have listened to both the Omega Super 3i (5" driver) and Compact Alnico (6.5" driver) and I will say that they sound quite different. The larger driver is certainly more impactful and powerful sounding and has a stunning midrange, but it is less articulate when playing complex music. The RS3 driver is, IMO, much better suited to full range music. I suspect that the limitations of the larger driver due to added weight and the wizzer cone, which acts as a limiter or brake on the driver.
I have heard the Super 3 HO at someone else's home and would like to hear the Super Alnico HO monitors. But if I were going to order a new pair now it would probably be the Super 3 HOs. They work best overall for the wide range of music I listen to.
