Does it sound as good at those genres as my LS3/5A? Hell no, and nowhere near as accurate or holographic. But nice to listen to some big speakers, hear the space in the recording, and something is happening with this stuff that makes me unable to drag myself away. Might just be though that those recordings in my collection are higher quality. Overly compressed-sounding stuff is horrid out of these speakers.

I have similar thoughts about the Omega 3 XRS and sub in my 2.1. For less complex music, they are magical. The Omega would not be my first choice for complex orchestral works, extreme metal, fast paced industrial, or big band. I hope to get Spatial Audio Speakers some day.

@Cryptowolf good call on Spatial Audio, I would love to go that route, but can't get away with speakers way out into the room for this setup (toddlers and all that). Have some Ohm Walsh Tall 4000 on order I hope do the trick for quality but family friendly. These Zus are just a fun detour/distraction I always was intrigued to hear.

I really like the Omega 3 XRS as nearish field speakers. I bought them used for $600 and they are a fantastic bargain. I figure they will eventually go in my home office when I upgrade to either Spatial or PAP in the next 10 years or so. I’ve heard the Zu and they are similarly fun.
