Oftentimes, the wider Omni ladder filters have slightly asymmetrical filter
skirts which cause the received audio passband to sound different between
USB and LSB.  The INRAD filters solve are better in this regard, but I
believe the Ten-Tec filters have slightly better dynamic characteristics.  A
high quality external speaker in conjunction with the INRAD filters will
make the Omni sound quite good.
