Fostex based speakers: Cain Abby or Omega Super3R
Yeap Joey..fostex based speakers would be the perfect speakers for the nonbelievers in the breakin theory. If you can't hear the difference in these speakers after the first initial 100 hrs. You need to seriously look into a new hobby! :-)Good luc...

Here's a new article on the Omega/Redwine line of battery powered products. 
Fostex based speakers: Cain Abby or Omega Super3R
Rene I use two Adire Ravas. My room isn't huge at all. 25x14 ft with a 10 ft vaulted ceiling. I have my speakers on the long wall roughly 7 ft apart. My subs are a few inches behind the speakers just to the right and left of the speaker stands. I...

Hi Joey I use Omega Grande 8's in custom cabinets. They are slightly larger than the normal versions.You can expect 100 hrs before they start to really open up.The fostex drivers will improve well past 200 hrs.These speakers are like fine wine the... 
Fostex based speakers: Cain Abby or Omega Super3R
I agree with you guys on the Omegas..After all I own a pair as well. The Omegas are my prefered speakers at the present time. I can't wait to drop in a pair of 8 inch Hemp drivers. Hopefully in a couple of months they will come available for sale.

amplifiers for Kappa 9's
Sean with all do respect. That would be the same if I drove a Ford over to Chevrolet for inspection. And ask them to give me an honest assesment on it.LOLSeriously though..I've seen this beat to death about the distortion ratings. One guy claims d... 
Fostex based speakers: Cain Abby or Omega Super3R
Rene it's a little unfair to compare these two models. The Super 3R is a bookshelf and the Abbys are floorstanders.There's no doubt about it. The Abbys are definitely easier to drive. They also throw a much larger soundstage and the bass is much d... 
amplifiers for Kappa 9's
Bemopti123Are you sure about Digital amplifiers not ever never being able to drive such a load? Those are pretty strong words my friend. I know some of you fellas are from that old school.I seriously doubt an amplifier like the Carver ZRx3200 woul... 
amplifiers for Kappa 9's
Hey Sean how about two Carvers run as monolocks? You think it would suck them dry? I have no doubt they need some serious current. With all those parts, it's a wonder any signal ever makes it to the drivers.:-)Or how about a Carver ZRx3200 1600 wp... 
amplifiers for Kappa 9's
I was checking out the crossovers in these speakers a couple of weeks ago at a friend's home. WOW these things have a lot of real estate inside of them! Just from the looks you need a mammoth amplifier to get the best out of them. I bet a Carver Z... 
Monitors or floorstander to match Velodyne DD15?
It really shouldn't matter what speakers you go with. When it comes to a good sealed subwoofer. You should be able to match it up with time and patience to any speaker.You have to decide which configuration you want to use. That's using the crosso... 
DTS vs Dolby Digital?
DTS for sure! Dts has 10 db more LFE than Dolby Digital for one. I think DTS has 7 separate encoded layers of info compared to DD. It's been a while since I played with this stuff so I'm a little rusty on the technicals. It is very easy to hear th... 
Economy amps from Channel, Nixon, etc?
Here's the pimped out hotrod version of the ClariT by Redwine audio / Omega loudspeakers. It was posted on another website by a ClariT owner. They call it the Lotus . Backside of the Lotus . 
Economy amps from Channel, Nixon, etc?
Cdc I'm not clear on the budget or power requirements. So I'm throwing a few things at you. I've owned the Monarchy SM70. It is a very musical amplifier for sure! I can't say much bad about it. I really enjoyed it. I've also owned a several Adcoms...
