Hey Willbc,
great system, I like that it's a fairly simple setup. Can you describe the sonic changes that the VH audio and Signal power cables made to your overall sound? I am in the market myself for some budget cords. Thanks, and talk to you later.

The Omegas are a great speaker for the money. I had B&W 602s and the omegas are in another class. There seems to be tons of great speakers out there. Likely i will move on to another brand, but up to this point i have truly enjoyed my time with these speakers, and i highly recommend you audition them. But be careful to match with right equipment.

After youve heard even the bottom of the barrel cables from a respected brand, all bargain basement cable sounds just wrong. I am now free of monster cable in my system and couldnt be happier. Justin

The emberglows were my first cable upgrade from regular monster cable, so i won't be able to help much. all i can say is they were a very satisfying upgrade from mass-produced cable. I really like the vh audio power cord and digital cable, i think i might try their IC as my next cable upgrade. Plus it looks like they are well spoken of looking thru these forums.

i agree wih all of you about cables being a head ache. i mean were do you start? i have decided to go with Transparent through out when the funds allow me. I am very happy with their cables that i do have, interconnects and video. I would recommend sticking to a brand, that way you can expect no surprises i.e. a bright cable matched with a warm cable. I like a warmer sound and i have not heard a transparent cable that was too bright, but then again i am also new to home audio. Just my two cents. Justin

Willbc
How is the emberglow IC ?
Did you compare it with others before using this one ?

Hi Pawlowski
I sit about 7 feet from my speakers. I feel that is a minimum, personally. I listen to mainly classical, and even then i highly recommend a sub. Omegas lack substantial low end, and the REL provides very musical bass, and also provides extra depth and air, you get a more convincing concerthall presentation. I think its a must for jazz and rock. The crossover is set for the subwoofer so theres minimal overlap of frequencies with the omegas.

How do you like the sony 7000 as a transport?

willbc December 09, 2005 21:47

Willbc; how do you think the Omegas would sound in my system (small room)? Is the sub necessary do you think? You mentioned setting the crossover - is that an adjustment you make on the sub?? What kind of music do you listen to?

Very cool system.

Will,your right about choosing cables,def. a headache! I think if i had to do it all over,id just rent a bunch from the cable co.I think i might have saved a lot of time and moneyLOL!

raytheprinter December 05, 2005 02:02

Hi Ray, yes, I'm very happy with the REL sub. In my system I have the crossover point set around 45hz, and it integrates very nicely with the omegas. Also seems to have good resale value if I ever want to upgrade. I listen to mostly classical, and some jazz and alternative.
there are way too many cable options out there, I think when i finally settle down on a system for the longterm choosing cables will be a big headache! Will

willbc December 04, 2005 23:04

Hello Willbc,looks like youve done a great job!Ive allways had an interest in the REL subs,do they integrate well with the Omegas? I recently added a pr of Purist Audio Museaus ICs and love what they do for my sound!Pretty good price if you buy used!Im adding thier speaker cables next week,great from top to bottom!Well, i hate to sound like an ad,but i think ive found the perfect cables for my system.What kinds of music do you enjoy?Ray

raytheprinter December 04, 2005 02:57

Yes, the drivers are fostex, rated at 93dB @ 8ohms, other specs are here: http://www.omegaloudspeakers.com/super%203.htm
Looks like there's a second version out. I really like the new ebony finish. Also looks like they went down on the price, probably made a compromise between the R version and base version.

willbc December 03, 2005 23:28

I don't know the Omega speakers, but the driver looks like a Fostex. What is the sensitivity rating? Is it a veneer or a vinyl? Either way, I like what I see. They should work well with the Sophia, or so I'd think. Yes, the Omegas matched with the REL should make you smile! Looks good.
