Whoopy, I didn't notice the sound (when switching the drivers) becoming any 'drier'. What I did notice was a big increase in resolution, attack and general smoothness across the freq. domain... Where the orig. drivers tended to sound a bit congested and a touch 'boxy' at times, esp. in the +/- 1K region. The new drivers really cleared all of that up,.. way more so than I was expecting. I also had an Ayon Spirit III in house while running a 2nd sys. for a bit,.. For what ever reason it did not jive as well with Omens,.. Sounded damn good, but not Great as it does with the 845's. I have also paired with a FirstWatt J2, SE34, SE84, Manley Stingray. I have always found, as you are saying that the Zu's are a pretty synergetic dependent speaker,.. there is definitely an easily heard difference amongst other equipment, esp. amplifiers! Would really love to hear them with Torii or ZMA compared to my 219,..
Alper, What amp do you plan to drive the Omens with? When I first got mine,.. I had a SE84 as a spare, bought on a whim.. and a Manley Stingray as my main amp,.. the little SE84 saw me sell the Stingray to purchase a se34.3. I loved the 84 that much,.. The 84 sounded so good on the Omens but I wanted more.. For my tastes the 84 was sufficient for about 70-80% of my listening. The se34, I loved as well! but was only sufficient for about 90-95% of my listening. Not having that last 5% was killing me. I moved to 845 SET based power,.. covered the last 5% lol! Still, while I love my 845's and their respective sound signature, they are not Decware amps,.. If you are planning on running your Torii or 34, you most likely will be very happy with the available power (esp. w.Torii),... While there is def. a lot of magic to the sound of the 84, you very well may feel you want a little more at times,..
As RRaymond said,... In the end it all comes down to your preferences, your room and your specific equipment in the chain,.. Let your ears be your guide!
Also, if you talk to Gerrit again,.. tell him Johnny Upgrade said hi,.. he'll get a kick out of that!!
