Ohm Walsh vs. Mirage OMD 28

The MIrages don't *need* space around them. I still get the same tonal balance and room-filling soundstage when I move them within 18" of the wall to make room for visitors. It's just that when you move them out you get this all-encompassing 3-D holographic soundstage that seems miles deep. But even close to the wall the soundstage is not shallow. I have open architecture and cathedral ceiling too. The Mirages are an ideal match for that setting.

Well, maybe one day I'll compare the two in my environment. Then I'll share my findings with everybody here on Audiogon...

Ohms are direct market, so you have to audition them at home. Vann's is an authorized Mirage dealer and offers a 15-day refund period as long as the product is in original condition and is returned with all original packaging.

Right now Vann's is offering the $7500/pair OMD-28 for about $3K/pair in black or rosewood. Pricewise this puts the OMD-28 at a decided advantage, because it should handily outperform the similarly priced Ohm 2000.

The OMD-28 and Ohm 5000 should be a good matchup, but Vann's pricing gives the Mirages a $3500 advantage.

It will be interesting match up...just ordered Mirage 28...when I sell my current Hyperions 968, I'll get Ohm Walsh 3000 or 4000 and do the comparisons...

bran,

have you discussed your room with john at ohm? there is no advantage to larger more expensive ohms over smaller unless room size considerations warrant it. the exception is the 5000 which has adjustments on
board to taylor the sound to roomsize and other acoustic considerations.
