At the heart of the OMNI system is the new OMNIGUIDE design allowing for Mirage’s acclaimed OMNI Polar sound from a single pair of drivers. My words to the designers are ‘bravo and congratulations’. The new OMNI series from Mirage is a technology to be reckoned with. Each part of this system deserves praise, and bringing the entire system together is like making a match made in heaven. If you are considering a new 5.1 setup or just a new set of mains or a sub, check these out, and you will not be disappointed. I have enjoyed my time with the new OMNI series so much I am considering moving my beloved OM-6s to my two-channel system and purchasing this setup for my home theater. While they are not the OM series, they are the next best thing, at a much lower price.
