Over 70% of the sound, we hear is reflected sound. This is the main reason I have slowly gravitated towards the Mirage OM-5's. After owning a pair of OM-6's I switched to B&W 802's for that Audiophile sound quality. There was something missing after spending 35K on my system. I have now come full circle back to the Mirage Omnipolar system and I could not be happier. Most who hear my system before and after agree, however, you either love them or hate them. Usually people who have a false conception of how sound should be transmitted do not like the way they disappear in the room. I for one, find this to be a major plus.
