Omega Mini-Me/Red Wine Clari-T Combo

by Josh Ray, Jul 08 '05

For those arriving here from Gizmodo and elsewhere, here's a great little package that's priced for regular folks and will get you into that glorious single-driver club. Presenting the Omega Mini-Me speakers, the little siblings of the Grande 6 speakers we posted about earlier, and the Clari-T, the little sibling of Red Wine Lotus. $788 gets you in the door to this party.

There are no reviews of the package yet or the Mini-Me by itself, but there are a number of reviews on the Red Wine Clari-T. A review of the duo is forthcoming from Positive Feedback and, naturally, we'll keep you updated.

Now, that black you see on the front of the speaker isn't plastic, it's leather. Yup, leather. And while the picture isn't the best, the word is these are some great looking speakers. Louis of Omega Audio is master woodworker and really knows his stuff, as you can see from the picture on the next page...

Look at the finish on that baby. Yeah, pretty impressive. That is the larger Grande 8 finished in Parisian Red Maple. The proud owner is "GHM" from Audio Circle.

The specs for the Mini-Me are 58Hz to 20KHz and 90 dB into 4-ohms - not what you'd expect to be driven by an amp providing all of 6 watts. But, hey, it works. To find out more about this package and to purchase your own, check out the Mini-Me page on Red Wine Audio's site:
