Ohm Walsh vs. Mirage OMD 28

What speaker cables are you using? Are you bi-wiring or using the factory brass jumper bars? You can get an immediate improvement by at least swapping out the jumper bars for some made from a good cable.

I took off the jumpers right away...I'm using one biwire and one regular speaker wire (MIT CVT Terminator)...

Well folks, Mirage finally brought a smile to my face and i guess thats about the best compliment you can give a speaker (or equipment). Process of breaking in might be painful sometimes but all the more rewarding afterwards. The soundstage opened up, thanks to me moving them around too, and resolution has gotten considerably better. Boy, do these have bass? Hyperions were no slouch in that dept. and go as deep, but as far as sheer amount of bass, Mirages win. Detail retrieval is on the same level as Hyperions, though most of the images dont have as much precision as I reached with Hyperions, just like it is to be expected. I find them overall a very pleasant speaker to listen to. I'm sure they would benefit from a little more power, an amp with a cool nature might be a perfect fit for these.

I just have to figure out how to fix the fact that the image is being pulled to the left side a bit due to the surrounding behind the speakers. One corner is a regular one, the other opens up the the staircase. Is there anybody out there who actually doesn't sit in the middle between the speakers?

Try toeing in the right speaker for more direct exposure at your listening position to move the image to the right? Or, if both toed in already equally toe-out the left speaker.

Sometimes a balance control can come in handy!
