Klipsch Heresy IV vs Omega CAM


Hi all,

I have a Luxman SQ-N150 amp and I’m debating between the Klipsch Heresy IV and the Omega CAM. Obviously different prices, sizes and design philosophies but I’m wondering which would suit my needs better. I listen to all genres from hip hop to jazz to classical to indie and classic rock. Also, I live in an apartment so I tend to listen at low volumes. Do both speakers satisfy at low listening volumes? Will the Klipsch be a bother to neighbors? I know they still have quite a bit of low end roll off. Further info: Listening distance is around 7-8’ feet and they’ll have to be against a wall with about 7-8’ between the speakers. Any other thoughts on soundstage/clarity/vibe between the two?

Any help is appreciated.

I would go CAM or alnico in the 3xrs cabinet w front port. Certainly call Louis at Omega. 
The Heresy is a much better speaker honed over decades. Whizzer cones are a cheap inaccurate way of making treble. The crossover between the woofer cone and the whizzer is mechanical. Only the whizzer is producing treble as the woofer cone can not move fast enough but, the whizzer is still moving with the bass, doppler distorting everything it does. However, you do not have to add an electronic crossover and another driver. Cheap. IMHO the Omegas are all about profit. The Heresy's were designed by a man who was truly passionate about sound. The Cornwall and Heresy are Klipsch's best speakers and they represent great values. You will lover the Heresy's. They sound like a much larger loudspeaker. Add subwoofers and a 2 way crossover down the line and you will be rocking for sure!
I disagree with mijostyn.  Louis of Omega is also passionate about sound.  If he was in it just for profit, he would be pricing his speakers more similar to the single driver Voxactiv, Charley, and Cube speaker brands.  I have not heard the CAMs, but did pick the SAMs over Harbeth M30.1s after a lengthy home audition of the Harbeth several years ago, and have never regretted my choice.  Not sure whether mijostyn has ever actually listened to any of the alnico Omega speakers, and I find it very off-putting that he calls them cheap and he states that Louis is only concerned about profit (so Klipsch doesn’t care about profit?).  Philoh, please give Louis of Omega a call (as others have suggested) and chat with him about what you are looking for.  You will find out that he is also passionate about sound, and will be very helpful whether you go with his product or not.
I’ve heard Heresy 3’s in a small space and up close. When I walked in I thought in no way would they sound good but they were awesome. Completely disappeared and engaging. The fact they are tilted up probably helped and they had some impressive electronics feeding them. So think the Klipsch are doable. Haven’t heard the Omegas you mentioned
