Hey Jeff,

I have to agree with Steve on synergy between Rachel and Omega's...  I have an SE34I.2+ that I paired with a pair of Hoyt-Bedford's by Omega.  The mids were quite fine with that setup with acceptable trebles.  But the bass was never good (I remember exchanging few ideas with fellow Decwarers in this Forum).  Even when I added a subwoofer by Dali, it did not help much.  The detail was there but the frequencies were so disproportionately represented.  I ended up replacing my SE34I.2+ with my TORII mkII which worked much better with the Hoyts, even though that system was still bass-shy.  I do not have that system any more though.  A friend bought them from me for late night listening.

What I do at the moment with my SE34I.2+ or TABOO mkIII (with speakers) is using them in my bedroom system with relatively less efficient (91dB) B&W speakers located in the corners of the room to gain significant dB in the bass register by mechanical coupling.  They both work like a charm and I have to turn down the volume quite often, because it gets too loud at times!

I fancy pairing either of the amps with a pair of Spatial M3 Triode Master open baffles (95dB & 16 ohms) when I have the cash!

Cheers,

Alper
