I have the Omega SAM HOs in my main system, and also the 3i, and I previously had the regular SAMs for a while, and I have heard the Tekton Impact Monitors.
The key to get the most out of the single driver Omegas so that they can handle complex music easily is to take the low bass off of them altogether, and yes, use a subwoofer or two. This frees up the drivers from trying to replicate the bass notes, which in turn keeps the single drivers from distorting, and utilizes your amplifier (an 8wpc SET amp in my case) much more efficiently and keeping them out of the >25% of available power range where distortion may start.
Many ways to accomplish this, like using passive filters, but my latest is to use a left and right channel convolution filter .wav that I generated using room correction from REW software, and using that filter within HQPlayer. Sounds complicated but its really not. Very effective.
