Mirage OMNI 5.1 Loudspeaker System

May, 2003

Sandy Bird

Introduction

The one encompassing statement accepted
by all when starting into the world of hi end
audio is, “The loudspeaker is the most
important and most influential part of the
entire system.” A good loudspeaker can
make medium grade electronics sound
astonishing, and even the best components
cannot make an inferior loudspeaker sound
acceptable.

The overall voice of your entire system will
be realized by your loudspeakers. When
people start into the market, they may know
this and spend time and energy getting the
right speakers for their setup. However,
once we get into the perpetual upgrade loop,
the speakers are often the first component
to be forgotten.

The legacy of the Mirage OMNI polar speaker
is a long one that started over 15 years ago.
The flagship of the original series labeled the
M1 débuted in 1987 and is still regarded as
one of the best bipolar implementation to

weighed in at almost 200 pounds, and its
legacy is still remembered in the hi-fi world.

put prices on a more level playing field, the M1 is still a $1000+ speaker some 15 years later. That alone should validate the technology for most of us, but Mirage did not relax, and they continued to improve on their technology. In 1996 Mirage introduced the OM series of speakers which brought the...

such problems occur with the new Mirage posts. They would easily accept 10 gauge speaker wire, but if you are going to use spades, choose fairly wide ones, as the post centers are wide themselves. The 260s have feet which stick out of the sides of the speaker on a front-facing 30 0 angle to ensure s...

and a 20 Hz 3 dB down point. Knowing the value of the BPS-150, this was an intriguing concept. We now know the new OM sub line is designed to replace the BPS lineup, and if the OM-200 is the baby of the group, then Mirage’s competition should be paying attention.
