Compact Alnico Monitors vs. Super 6 XRS Alnico
« on: 14 Feb 2024, 10:41 pm »
Interested in getting my first pair of Omega speakers, but being unable to audition one (and living halfway across the world!) is making the process a bit tricky.

Currently tossing up between a pair of new CAMs direct from Omega or, what I believe is a pretty decent deal, on a used set of Super 6 XRS Alnicos (for approx $1200).

Has anyone here had experience with both of these speakers and might be able to share their thoughts? Aside from the obvious size difference, is there a clear winner between the two in terms of performance? Or are they just wildly different animals?

Any input is super appreciated :)

Well, I've had neither.  I've had SAMs, SAM-HOs, Super 7 XRS.  I would put money on the Super 6 floor standers would outperform CAMS.  How could they not, unless maybe in a very small room.

Give Louis a shout.    He'll be able to provide insight as to each speaker's sound signature.  My experience is with the RS5 driver only.
