Hello Kuma,
I'm close to a deal by which I will buy Omega I, but if I'm not happy I will be able to swap it for Monitor I and get a refund for the price difference. Talking about the merits of moving to Omega with the dealer, he repeated the same mantra that "it is system dependent", but did add that the soundstage would be improved vs. Monitor I. He was adamant that my system would benefit and so far his judgment has not let me down (as for my bank account... that is another story!). My system consists of Krell KAV-300iL (integr.amplifier), Cary cd-player 306/200 and Avalon Opus Ceramique. I guess the next step im my hifi quest will be to replace the Krell...
As for NBS/Avalon pairing, even Avalon was recommending them at some point in time as the synergy is apparent with the tonal richness and soundstage. The combination NBS interconnect with Valhalla speaker cable has worked so far as I'm anyway not too inclined to replace 2x 3m of speaker cable (that would surely hurt my purse). But an all-Valhalla system with Avalon did not work, at least not with the same result compared to NBS. It was thin and lacking the same soundstage. And NBS was delivering the same degree of details ! What else do I need ?
I'm afraid it will take some time for me to report back once I've got Omega I as the dealer told me that it takes an awful long time for this cable to settle in. I guess I will need a bit of patience for a change !
Cheers and have a nice evening
