Omega Aperiodic 8
Omega Aperiodic 8 The A8s use custom modified Visaton B200 drivers in an aperiodically vented cabinet. The cabinet is "a 3-layer composite baffle and back; 3/4" Ultralight MDF (for top, bottom, and sides); 6mm Finland Birch ply; an extra layer of phenolic under the veneer and ladder bracing." Louis also uses his "R" Compound on the interior cabinet walls which is a "heavy asphalt/vinyl composite with Talc and crystalline granules" and reportedly "reduces cabinet resonance and standing waves".

The SuperHemps are big fat speakers. Larger than mini monitors but without the tallish profile of floorstanders, the SuperHemps are practically in a league of their own. Measuring 23" tall x 15" wide x 12.5" deep at 35 pounds apiece, the SuperHemps arrived very well packaged and when I unsealed their double-layered packing boxes, their absolutely stunning finish was revealed. The accompanying Skylan stands arrived at the same time and once set up, they created a perfect fit with the SuperHemps footprint and height-wise.
