ZU OMEN speakers 12ohms??


I am looking into the Omen speakers , but the 12 ohms impediance is throwing me off. I have a ss amp 100 watts , 8 ohms and a tube amp 35 watts with 4,8,or 16 ohms . Whats the best way to go ,and how does the 12 ohm figure into this?

Good luck with your new speakers I'm sure they will be very pleasing.I'm not familiar with the Lore's I'll have to give them a listen soon. The more gear I listen to less seems like more, taking the crossovers out of the design just seems to make more sense, and the simpler Class A circuits that seem to becoming more popular really sound amazing i.e. Nelson Pass's First Watt stuff is just to good. Thanks for the info on the room treatment I will give it a try.
I've had my omens for 5 months or so ... and I do like them a lot.. a bit on the bright side but then agaim the room they are in is fairly large with high ceilings. I run them through an Audio Refinement Pre-2DSP with a Multi 3 amp (125WPC). I'm considering trying the tube route to see if I can warm up the sound a tad ... although if the difference it not HUGE, I more than likely will stick with my current setup.
Drift, the differance will be a huge one for the pos.
Choose your tube amp wisely. There is a lot of info here on AG about tube amps. Spend some hours reading before you make your decision.
I wish you the best in luck.

Drift,

There is a long thread on audiocircle you may want to check out wherein a lot of owners chime in on what they are using to drive their Omens with. Some great information there--its in the 'cheap and cheerful' section.

The best solid state I've experienced with my Soul Superflys is a Redgum RGi120 integrated which I suspect would sound fantastic on the Omens. very fast, transparant and super musical.
