Hi so I went to New York, Queens, and demoed an Analysis Amphitryon system with Lamm pre and the Lamm hybrid monos (220w each). This is easily the best speaker I have heard and does more soundstaging, sounds more real, and is more dynamic than any planar. Not only does it do the best piano, but I also played Zep on it, and for those who are familiar with the end of Gnomus in Mussorgskys Pictures, that thump is driven into your midriff like a piledriver. The soundstaging with the Lamm was excellent, backwards and forwards. The room doesnt have much room at the side, but I already know that they do a big soundstage sideways.
As compared to the Omegas, the difference is mainly in the bass. But then I have heard the Omegas with Valves, and the Amphis with hybrids. The valve character was retained. I think Amphis are required for a bigger room and the ultimate in dynamism, but otherwise Omegas are fine. The crossovers were updated with Duelunds
They did have BG Radia dipole woofers attached, but when we took the woofers off it made no difference to the bass and actually sounded better. No room treatment except diffusers behind the listener, and Synergistic HFTs. 23 * 15 ft room. Source was a CEC TLO transport going into a Weiss Medea
