Gallos ohms mirages or deuvels

By changing the title of the thread this isn't going to change what members think is the better speaker.

Sure hope that you make a decision soon......

Gallos will be really difficult to suspend with bungee cord - not recommended! The ore boxy ohms are a better choice.

Pedrillo,

Found this below about Duevel Bella Luna.

Makes some interesting comparison with MBL specifically. Claims MBL use of multiple drivers in the same frequency range for omni dispersion can have some downside.

I do like the design (both appearance and sonic) of the Bella Luna and would love to hear these some day. The horn loaded omni design seems like a natural to help compensate for the inherent low sensitivity of omni designs in general compared to designs that produce most of their output more directionally.

A lot of people seem to like even the Planets. A very unique design there I must say as well for the price though not my particular cup of tea.

I'd be hard pressed to see how the Ohms could not come out as the best value and the most affordable solution (for residents of the US at least) in the end though.

This web page of AVGuide has a link to download a pdf of the full Abso!ute Sound review of the Mirage OMD-28.

Chris Martens, the reviewer, bought a pair and uses them as his new reference.

I have the OMD-15s, one model down from the 28s, and everything he says about the OMD-28s rings true for the 15s as well, if on a slightly smaller scale and 1/2 octave less bass extension (which is still good to the low 30s).

Here is a review of the Mirage OMD-15s for Ultra Audio and here is a review of the Mirage OMD-28s from SoundStageAV.com.

Everything they say is true. The OMD series provides a better radiating pattern than simple wide dispersion or a purely omnidirectional speaker. The Omniguide's proportions of front, side, and rearward dispersion make for a realistic, scalable soundstage, plenty of soundstage depth, and more image specificity than you get with a bipolar or typical omni pattern.
