NBS will never sound like Nordost. Far from it. :-)
As I said, Omega is the leanest amongst NBS, but not anywhere near tonaly thin as Nordost. I have tried various Nordost including Valhalla in my systems and whilst I admire their clarity and speed, I found them lacking in expressiveness. ( of course this is grossly subjective and system dependant )

Interesting you use Avalon speakers. For years, I've used NBS ( both Monitor and Classic series ) with Eclipse Classic and Avatar to good effect.

I am not sure if keeping Valhalla is a good thing or not as I have not tried the combination. Omega still retains a tonal richness of Monitor ( I still have 0 and 1 speaker cables around ), but offers lower noise floor and better pace.

What is your rest of system? I'd think that Valhalla would work nicely with Avalon. ( it didn't with Wilson )
