FS: Omega Super Alnico High Output XRS speakers
12/18/18 at 05:31:22

I purchased these 18 months ago brand new from Louis over at Omega Loudspeakers. Just a damn phenomenal speaker.

Here is my listing on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/323605721810?ul_noapp=true

They are in MINT condition. These sell new for $4695.

I am offering them up for $3000.

I wish that someone local will snatch them up as shipping speakers is not what I enjoy. But, I will ship them and I will ensure they arrive safely.

Shipping is NOT included in that price and I will accept various forms of payment to avoid the 3% Paypal hit.

It really does pain me to part with them but I just acquired a set of speakers that I could not pass up, and they are rather large. I simply need to make space for the new speakers as well as offset the cost of the new purchase.

There are a lot of Omega fans on this site, so hopefully you'll get a bite on these fabulous speakers. They are phenomenal speakers and this is a very good deal for some lucky buyer. I really love mine. HK

Thanks HK! I really appreciate it.
Yeah, they are phenomenal speakers and whoever becomes the new owner will be very happy with their performance, as you well know. Louis' wood craftsmanship is quite special as well. Beautifully both aesthetically and sonically. ....and such a match made in heaven with Decware gear.

JoA, so what are the replacement speakers that you could not pass up?

Tommy, I decided to go back to my tried and true... Bose.

JK, they are the Essence Audio Amethyst 10A Reference speakers, no longer in production. I posted on them somewhere here in the forums recently but forgot where...lol. They are very unique and offer a lot of flexibility in the positioning of each individual driver to get the time alignment just right based on the distance from the listening position to the drivers and the listener's ear to the ground.
