Drivers
While driver design and driver quality are big factors in any speaker system, when it comes to single-driver loudspeakers, DRIVERS ARE EVERYTHING!
That’s why I allocate a significant amount of my time to researching, developing and testing new driver designs.
Fortunately the work has paid off: Omega’s current generation of proprietary drivers are by far the best I’ve ever offered. And they play a major role in delivering the lifelike sound you’ll enjoy when listening to any of my single-driver speakers.
Omega Driver Benefits
- Omega’s drivers are high sensitivity (ranging from 93 to 96dB SPL); In most rooms you can achieve realistic listening volumes with only a few watts of power
- The cone material is light and ridged, which translates into:
- Quicker transient response
- Higher resolution & ‘see-through’ transparency
- More lifelike tone & overtones
- Omega’s drivers are 8 ohm loads and present your amp with a linear impedance curve, making them an easy load for any amp to drive
- Omega’s drivers perform equally well at both low and high volume listening levels
Bottom line: Omega’s proprietary drivers are specifically designed and crafted to work with my proprietary cabinet designs to deliver a level of sonic performance well beyond anything you would expect at their respective price points.
