I have some experience with the 2 watt Zen (I own) the Rachel (friend owns) Torii 3 (friend owns) Torri 4 (played with at Decware) and the Zen Mystery Amp (I own) - and I love efficient, super simple speakers like the Omega stuff.

IMO - both amps will work well with that speaker. It's 8ohms and 93db.

I feel the Rachel is a bit silkier, smoother amp - but the Torii has a little more horsepower and therefor flexibility in the future. If it were me, I'd spring for the Torii and know that I have an amp that will work with a much wider variety of speakers in the future. If I were on a tight budget and couldn't find a good deal on used Torii, the Rachel is a great amp, but I could see me moving up to a Torii in the future and relegating the Rachel to second system, or reselling it.

Even though you might not use that extra wattage the Torri has, it gives you more flexibility and headroom. Both are great things to have in reserve.  :)

Urbs,

I've had the Super Zen for a few years now and Zen before that going back almost 15 years. Have been using Klipsch RF-7's at 102db sensitivity.

Have had my pair of Omega Super Alnico Monitors for a week now. Have been using my Peachtree 220se for the most part for speaker break-in. Did however have the Super Zen hooked up for a day and was quite impressed with how loud they will play with 2 watts in my 16' x 22' room with large openings into other areas of the home.

I have twin Subs connected via speaker level and the sound is Great. If you want to Rock with 2 watts and the Alnico's then I definitely think the DeepOmega 12 sub is a must. The Alnico's have great bass, adding the Sub takes you from great bass to having the Bass Player & His Amp in your listening room. IMO adding the Sub will give you a lot more Low end Weight than upping amp power with no sub.

I have been to Decware several times and compared the Rachel to the Super Zen. To my ear the Rachel did not play louder than the Super Zen (a big surprise to me). My Super by the way has the 8 ohm output transformers.

I'm pressed for time right now but if you have other questions feel free to ask.

OK,  here's my two cents.  I would get a Torii MK IV or III with Bees wax caps.  But that's not your question.  I haven't heard either the Mini Torii or the Rachael but know they both sound great from comments from forum members. If I were you, I would buy a Rachael because when you feel the need for more watts you can just add another Rachael and have 12 wpc, as many here have done...maybe they'll chime in.  Or, if you upgrade to a Torii, all the tubes you bought for the Rachael can be used in the Torii...not the case with the Mini Torii.

I own a Torii MK IV and if I could only own one amp, this would be it.  I also have a Taboo MK III (4.6 WPC) and a Pair of 2.3 WPC SE84ZSM...the Zen Signature Monoblocks that are no longer made.  I also have a pair of Omega Alinco XRS speakers.  For some reason the Taboo can't drive them to adequate volumes but the Torii and 2.3 WPC Zen can...go figure.  Anyway,  I don't think you can make a mistake by buying any of the Amps but given the usual urge to upgrade in the future get the Rachael...it's more versitile in this respect.  Mark.

Hey damn good point Mark!  Thanks for opening my eyes a little more I didn't know the Tori and Racheal use same tubes.  Mmm....

Oh wow, I totally missed the *mini* part of that. I guess I was thrown off by the misspelling of Torii. LOL

I would for sure get the Rachel in your situation. She's a great sounding amp.

Urbs- I have a Rachael and ZP3 as of November 2014 and my Omega 7XRS will land on this coming Thursday. I also have a CS84SE (?) 2 watt ZEN amp which I will try just for fun. The Rachael is a FANTASTIC product and I know I will be hitting sonic ZEN heaven when these get together (after another lengthy break in time...). You won't be disappointed. Happy Listening, Chris.
P.S, If you do vinyl, you gotta get a ZP3...

Hopefully this isn't a bad question but I couldn't find my answer lol.  Does the ZP3 support mm carts?  I'm using a entry level Project Carbon DC w 2m red cart.

The ZP3 supports MM carts.  Most MC carts require a step up transformer that costs an additional $629 currently.  If you do decide on a ZP3 also get the $100 Bees Wax Cap upgrade.  But at $1395, this may be something for the future.  It is wonderful and worth every penny though.  Mark.

My ZP3 is on the way to having 3 candles on its cake and it's an amazing preamplifier. One of my favorite Decware pieces. (Okay, how can I play favorites? It's a triumph in stereo cmponentry imo none-the-less.)

Well,  I have only had the Bees Wax Caps in all my gear so I have nothing to compare it to but a lot of people have had mods done adding them to amps with standard caps or VCAPs and no one has said it wasn't an improvement.  The person that recommended that I order them on my ZP3 had sent in his old gear for them.  

I looked at the options on the Rachel.   It comes standard with Bees Wax Caps but has Caps Called Jupiter IIs for $200...never heard of them.  You're probably ok with the standard Jupiters that I think is what's in all my gear.  The Jupiter II must be something new.  Also it comes standard with one set of inputs...I think you need at least two sets for phono stage and digital source...at a minimum.  I also like being able to control the volume of each channel separately as I do on my Zen Signature Monoblocks and via a CSP3 preamp with my Torii...you might want to consider dual volume controls. But if you plan on running a pair in the future, you might not want two controls...I'm not sure how that would work when run as a mono amp.  Maybe someone running dual Rachels can chime in.

What did you think of the speakers I showed you?  I'm not sure how set you are on Omega's but I also have a pair of Zu Audio Soul speakers that I actually like more than the Omegas.  I didn't mention them before but they are an option...$2000 retail or bought used, much less...see the thread linked below.  Be warned though, the Zu's take an extremely long and brutal break in before they sound good.  The Omegas have a very short and tolerable break in by comparison. Mark.

PS...this is probably too much information but I just looked on the Zu Audio site and they have a new pair in Black Walnut for $1599 in the pre loved section.  Click on the pic and it gives you another of the actual finish...very nice. I'll also give you a link to the souls so you can read a bit about them.

It`s a buzz working out the shopping list for Decware amps Urbs, and getting it all down before comitting is the right way to go.
The vinyl gang here all love their ZP3`s and you`ll see why. Beeswax caps give them extra wow factor, though if they never exsisted you`d still be wowed. The extra $100 is well worth it. Sometimes you cant imagine an improvement but when it actually happens it`s very impressive.
The Rachael can be bought without tubes for you to kit out with preferred tubes. Save $150 but if you want to get the system up and running before tube rolling then I`d go for the standard model with controls and imputs to suit. $200 Beeswax caps if you can stretch to it and you wont have to upgrade later when you think about such things as NOS tubes/cabling etc. You could easily find a set of good NOS tubes for the $150 beforehand and have 3 months to reseach while you wait. Remember that if in the future you want more power and decide to bridge Rachaels you might have to get the same controls on the new one as the first one. So less could be better. And one day you might think of a pre-amp as well.
Needless to say the more efficient the speakers the more the watts equate to filling your space.
So....getting the amps in and playing.....some burn in.....and you can forget about new amps forever. Famous last words of course but you get to think about source from a new perspective.

I really appreciate all the answers and support!  This is awesome having all this input from everyone.  I'm in the middle of traveling w the family for Easter but I'm definitely chewing on all this new info I have.  Mark I'm discussing w the wife speaker options too.  I have to include her because this summer we are having our house decorator redo some things.  Sooo her eye apoval is a must lol.  

Urbs,

It can be tough finding exactly what YOUR ears like when it comes to audio. For some it is a one time thing, and done. For the rest of us, it can be a life long travel. Having said that, I will tell you that 4 out of 5 of my Decware choices have suited me well. I now own the Rachel amp with no regrets, and a pair of ZOB speakers. Supposing that 6 watts will suffice for your speakers, I can say that the Rachel, will be a wonderful choice. And in addition, tube equipment often has the ability to make changes in the sound by using different tubes. To me, price and performance considered, you will never look back in doubt with this amp as a choice in your system.

DBC that is great info thank you for sharing.  I'm extremely excited to get this going!  Still kicking around my speaker options but def feel comfortable w getting the Rachel now.  Probably gonna do the zp3 as well.  

Well Damn, I can't believe I just bought another pair of speakers.  

I had PM'd Urbs back on April 3rd and told him he should consider these Omega Alinco Super 6XRS speakers (See Link).  After asking for my opinion and impressions of my Omega Alinco Super 7XRS and Zu Audio Soul speakers as well as additional reading and talking to others...he ordered a pair of Zu Audio Souls at a great price, well under retail.

So when I looked at the auction tonight, no one had placed a bid.  I found this incredible.  These were made in December 2011 and have the same top of the line Alinco Driver as the Current model Alinco XRS speakers selling for $2995...opening bid was $1100.  The only difference I can see is  that the grills are shorter. Otherwise they look basically like the same cabinet.  I had a moment of weakness.  So I'll try them with the Deep Hemp Sub in the main system and with the Zen Signature Monoblocks in the den.  I may end up reselling the one off pair of Alinco Super 7XRS speakers I bought used on ebay...provided I like this pair better.  

Oh well,  I had another moment of weakness and again bought something I don't need. Mark.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Omega-Speaker-Systems-Super-6-XRS-Alnico-Super-Six-XRS-S...

Yeah Urbs,  I couldn't believe no one else wanted these. When I went to take a look I was expecting to see bids over $1500.  I half expected someone to put in a bid at the end, when no one did, I pushed the bid button with 5 seconds left.  

After figuring out that I didn't have the top of the line Alinco Driver, I've always wondered if they sounded much better.  Since I didn't like the Omegas as much as the Souls, I thought why bother.  I've even thought about selling the Omegas and just running the Souls in my second system.

Oh well, I get to try them now.  Mark.

Mark is busy keeping up with the Stoneses.

Lon,  Stone was who I was thinking of when I was rationalizing buying another pair of speakers.  In his defense though, I think he's been selling off a lot of gear, including some speakers.

Urbs, somewhere you were asking about people with multiple Amps and systems.  Reading between the lines in my posts you probably have figured out what I have but I'll spell it out.  I began with a Taboo MK III and Audeze headphones using an old CD player and old Pioneer Turntable and the phono Stage of an old Adcom preamp.  Then I added a CSP3 preamp to make things better.  I bought a pair of Zu Audio Unions but had a problem with them and Sean at Zu actually upgraded me to the Souls with no additional charge but because of production problems, I didn't get them for several months.  Then I bought the Torii MK IV and the ZP3 at the same time. Then I ordered a pair of HR-1s that took about 8 or 9 months to build.  Within a day or two of the delivery of the HR-1s, the Omega Alinco Super 7XRS speakers arrived...I bought them on ebay.  Then I saw a member here selling a pair of 2008 Zen Signature Monoblocks.  I wrote a long and detailed email to a friend trying to convince him he should buy them...I did such a good job that I'd convinced myself...I ended up buying them later that day.  I almost forgot somewhere in there I bought a used Jolida 100 CD player and loved it so much, I bought another for my second system.  A Rega RP6 with exact cart was purchased some where in there.  Most recently I added an Omega Deep Hemp Sub.

So,  I play vinyl almost exclusively in my main system and my second system consists of the Monoblocks and a Jolida 100 CDP.  The Zu and Omega speakers sit side by side and I switch between them.  Only CDs are played in the second system.  Also, recently, I hooked up my Taboo in the den to my laptop and have been listening to spotify with either the Souls or the Audeze headphones.  I enjoy all the Amps and don't plan of getting rid of any but I also don't plan on buying anymore but in another moment of weakness...who knows...hehe.  Mark.

Hey, I was just funning. . . Stone is the poster boy for having a lot of speakers on hand, an enviable thing if you have the space. I've come to realize what a luxury space is, as I'm going to soon have so little for my equipment and recordings and instruments. Bet these new speakers sound great!

Did you guys get yours w more than one input?  Plan on phono,cd,iphone/ipad.
W the phono getting 75% of the use.  I also think the ufo mod is couple hundred extra.  Should I get it?
