I was originally planning on purchasing some mono-block amps for my speakers, but I changed my mind and decided to "go Stax." I had a chance to hear the Omega IIs again... they are incredible. I used the money I had set aside for speaker amps for the SR-009s and the BHSE deposit.
<blasphemy/> For whatever reason, your Lambdas didn't really do it for me, </blasphemy> but the Omega IIs sure did, even out of a Woo GES.
It also seems that most (if not all) of the head-fiers/head-casers who's posts and thoughts I most respect are all already in the Stax Mafia.
Given many of the Mafia members' high expectations of the SR-009 and high opinions of the BHSE, I was sold on both.
