Re: NBS : Omega I vs. Monitor I

Posted by MikeFi on April 12, 2004 at 01:48:23:
Thank you Kuma,
I first moved from Monitor II to Monitor I and the improvement with my Avalon Opus Ceramique was huge, particularly in terms of bass extension and soundstage. Before Monitor, I had all Nordost Valhalla cabling and just by replacing the interconnect by Monitor II and then I the improvement was clear. So at the moment by set-up if Monitor I interconnect balanced + speaker cable Nordost Valhalla. It troubles me that you are saying that Omega is "the leanest sounding NBS" as I'm afraid to go back to the traits of Valhalla, but then on the positive side you mentioned "bigger stage than Monitor".
Bearing in mind my setup, would you still favour Omega I interconnect (whilst keeping the Valhalla speaker cable) over Monitor I ?
Cheers and thank you again
