The Stax president made a comment of keeping classic designs but updating them for the times. And I think the X9000 is very much a headphone of the times, in the way that the Omega was a product of its time. In the past few years, it seems like "technical" tunings have dominated the high-end market. Think of Audeze's shift from the LCD-4 to the LCD-5. Or of old Hifiman models vs the Susvara. That sort of brighter, ultra-separated, hyper-detailed sound is the current high-end headphone zeitgeist, and that's what the X9000 is. Fortunately for me, I enjoy that sort of technical tuning and I've greatly enjoyed my X9000. But I'm also someone who got into the hobby during the current era of headphones.
I think a rerelease of the Omega would be cool. I recall the main issues were the assembly and reliability of the stators on the Omega and Stax claims to have fixed those issues by using a compression bonding technique in the X9000, so putting a more reliable driver into the Omega's enclosure and using Omega earpads could be interesting. I think it was in the Omega thread that someone measured on a B&K4128 an Omega and an X9000, then the Omega with the X9000 earpads and vice versa, and at least at the graph level, much of the difference comes from the earpads. That doesn't tell us much about the intangibles of the experience, but it's a start.
