Mirage OMD-28 Surround Speaker System

In practice there is no such thing as a true omnidirectional speaker—a point source that radiates sound equally in all directions. Real world designs are variations on that theme, and it would be more accurate to call them multidirectional speakers....

Ultimate AV: Mirage OMD-28 Surround Speaker System

Mirage Loudspeakers OMD-28 Main / Stereo Speaker

I have had these speakers for about two months. I love their sound, and now I listen to music a whole lot more than before. I have had a pair of Bose 901 series IV speakers for about 10 years. I liked their natural and open sound, but I always felt...
