Ohm Walsh vs. Mirage OMD 28

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.

I briefly talked to him...I guess it will have to be trial and error, because of my open plan, it's hard to establish which model should work. I think they offer an upgrade program...if that's true, it would be better to start with 3000 and then if I need to, can upgrade to 4000....5000 would be the best choice, but I'm losing the best bang for the buck with them in case I found a lower price model that works in my room.
I put up my current Hyperion 968 for sale..terrific speaker, anybody who's looking for a speaker that does a lot of things well, might end up being quite pleased with them

supplementing a smaller pair of ohms with a sub is not a bad option either.
I'll be interested in how well the mirages stack up. i think they both will sound very good but also quite different.

I'm very intrigued myself...however, unless I sell my current speakers, I'm not sure how long it's going to be before I can order Ohm Walsh...of course first I need to break the Mirages in and play around with the placement so that might take even a month....I'll use this thread to post my impressions of the Mirage and then later Ohm Walsh...a lot will depend naturally how they react with the room...
