Ohm Walsh vs. Mirage OMD 28

I'd love to hear any opinions/comparisons between some higher end Ohm Walsh models and Mirage 28...Especially regarding their soundstaging abilities...thank you all

Well, today I received a pair of Mirage 28's in rosewood. All I can say it that they are truly gorgeous. I know that's not exactly priority in this hobby, but it still is nice to have good looking speakers. I just started breaking them in, so for any kind of observations, I'm going to have to wait just a little bit...tbc

Branislav, enjoy them, they are a very nice looking speaker, I checked them out on the web the other day. Will be anxious to get your take on them!

I am still in the long process of break-in of my Ohm 3/3000's, they are starting to open up a bit and the bass is smoothing out more as well. I am enjoying them very much so far.

I do think the bass response is going to be more than adequate as well, unless something really changes dramatically in that regard. Tim

I just wish I could make the break in period go faster...2 weeks return policy is not too long if you need to play them for 100 hours before making evaluations. Of course I could play them 24/7 Im just not sure if I want to put my cd player through an ordeal like that. We'll see what happens...

If you can put your CD player on repeat with some varied music, that would be great. I know neighbors don't always appreciate it, but if you don't have that to deal with, then you should be good to go. The CD player itself will not care.

I did that last weekend with my Ohm's, I was away for part of the weekend, so I cranked them up a bit, CD on repeat. Every little bit helps, especially if you only have 2 weeks to do it! If I could, I would do it during the day too with my 3000's, but my wife works from home. Shame she can't enjoy music all day.

The break-in time is another example of what makes trying the Ohm's so great, you can't get any better than the amount of time John gives you to test run a pair!

Could be that the Mirage's won't need that much break-in time, some speakers do, others don't. At least you should be able to get some sort of flavour that they will bring to the table. Enjoy, Tim
