Title: FS: Omega Super Alnico High Output XRS speakers
Post by Jeff of Arabica on 12/18/18 at 05:31:22

I purchased these 18 months ago brand new from Louis over at Omega Loudspeakers. Just a damn phenomenal speaker.

Here is my listing on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/323605721810?ul_noapp=true

They are in MINT condition. These sell new for $4695.

I am offering them up for $3000.

I wish that someone local will snatch them up as shipping speakers is not what I enjoy. But, I will ship them and I will ensure they arrive safely.

Shipping is NOT included in that price and I will accept various forms of payment to avoid the 3% Paypal hit.

It really does pain me to part with them but I just acquired a set of speakers that I could not pass up, and they are rather large. I simply need to make space for the new speakers as well as offset the cost of the new purchase.

I have a pair of the monitors and they are phenomenal!!! Someone should snap these towers up at a huge bargain!!! At 97db sensitivity these mate perfectly with any rendition of the UFO Zen you have. ;)

I have a pair of SHO3 monitors. Fantastic speakers! Want a pair of these, but I already placed an order for the DNA2 during the Black Friday sale! Still, tempting.....

Tal, please post a review of the DNA2’s after you’ve received them and they’ve settled in.

Jeff,

I posted an eBay link for the speakers over on Audio Circle's Omega Speaker Systems circle. There are a lot of Omega fans on this site, so hopefully you'll get a bite on these fabulous speakers.

They are phenomenal speakers and this is a very good deal for some lucky buyer. I really love mine.

Thanks HK! I really appreciate it.
Yeah, they are phenomenal speakers and whoever becomes the new owner will be very happy with their performance, as you well know. Louis' wood craftsmanship is quite special as well. Beautifully both aesthetically and sonically. ....and such a match made in heaven with Decware gear.

I've got the Omega Super Alnico XRS as my primary speakers. They are indeed great. Has anyone compared the non-HO version with single drivers directly to the HO version?

johnnyB, I will definitely give my impressions (for what its worth) once I receive the DNA2 and they settle in.

Cheers

Thanks Tal, I see Steve’s Demo pair still for sale at a great price!! Never listened to a pair of folded horns before so am curious. Wish I had 2 dedicated listening rooms I would be all over those :) ;)

Congratulations to Jeff, and the lucky new owner! I love my Omega Super XRS. They are my daily driver speaker. Can't wait to pair them with the UFO25 when it's time!

Tommy, I decided to go back to my tried and true... Bose.

JK, they are the Essence Audio Amethyst 10A Reference speakers, no longer in production. I posted on them somewhere here in the forums recently but forgot where...lol. They are very unique and offer a lot of flexibility in the positioning of each individual driver to get the time alignment just right based on the distance from the listening position to the drivers and the listener's ear to the ground.
