I dunno, maybe this'll get a few laughs or snickers, but here goes. I have a fairly entry level high-end 5.1 HT system - Marantz electronics, Mirage mains, Paradigm everything else, and I never cease to be wowed by the Mirage OM-9 mains when used for the purpose I bought them for - live concert videos. That sentiment has been echoed by a few audiophile friends, including one who sold equipment at a high-end audio store in my area and introduced me to Mirage. Critics say the "somewhere over there" imaging isn't to their liking, and that's fair, but when do you get the kind of precise imaging everyone likes to tout at a live, amplified event like a jazz/blues/rock concert? That's what I built my system for - reproducing the live concert experience as much as possible in my living room, and nothing I've heard does that better than the Mirage bi/omnipolar speakers, the OM-9s in particular. The amount of first-class sound they deliver for the price they listed for is the bargain of the century for reproducing the live experience.
