Omega or Horn Shoppe Loudspeakers?

[treetownal]

I'm looking to put together a little second system just for music using a tube amp, so I'm interested in single driver/horn systems that can play be driven with 25-30/wpc. Has anyone had experience with these brands? Budget is a big driver in putting this simple system together, but I don't want to throw away money.

Both of those speakers look like they'd have very uneven frequency response and rolled off highs. I personally think most speakers made with full range drivers don't sound very good. If you're looking for highly efficient speakers, I'd suggest that you look at bookshelves or smaller floorstanders in the Klipsch Reference line.

I have been driving myself crazy over these two brands. i want to set up a high-eff system in my bedroom. I think I am gonna try the Omegas only because of placement. The Horns like to be in corners. Also this is not the best fourm to ask about this mainly due to the total disregard to non-massmarket bias. You may have better luck at audiocircle. I do want some Horns!!

you would have better luck asking the "tubers" over at audiogon http://www.audiogon.com/ .

im also looking at building another flea powered rig using these lil monoblocks from dared audio.http://sm.sharednet.com/mime/zestek/VP-20b.jpg

Thanks for the input everyone. I'm also looking at those little Dared monoblocks.
