the Perfect Vision magazine did a mini review on the Mirage Omnisat system in their Jan/Feb 2003 issue starting on page 16. You can probably down load it from their website for about 3 bucks. They stated the effect is pleasing, very spacious and rather diffuse, cool, has good balance, is reasonably detailed and textured but lacks richness with Cd and Movies. Dialogue was'nt precisely fixed on screen but it improved for off axis listening. they had a lively response and can put you in the middle of the action., but it takes awhile to get used to so check the review and speakers for your self. They basically gave it a good review. I use mirage M5si's for my front mains and center and have been happy with them.
