OMD-5

"Take it from someone who routinely looks at four, five and even six-figure loudspeakers - the OMD-5 doesn't look or feel like a budget speaker."

"Sonically the OMD-5 is among the most open and dimensionally convincing speakers."

Omni S8

"The Omni S8 packs an incredible amount of value into its compact, affordable package. Its sound delivers with an exclamation point, over all types of music, home theater, and gaming material, providing a terrific combination of weight, punch, speed, and detail with only minor flaws that never detract from the presentation. 'Tight' is the word that best describes this product - while it may be missing a couple features and a smidge of ultimate fidelity, it delivers so much for the price that you barely notice. The Omni S8 is an extremely formidable contender in its price bracket, and must be auditioned by all shoppers anywhere near it."

MM-6

"The MM-6 subwoofer was a pleasant surprise, mid-bass was tight, punchy and surprisingly powerful. For such a diminutive sub it makes its presence felt."

MX 5.1

"My listening space is rather large but the MX Satellite's did a great job of filling my room with nicely balanced and detailed sound. Dialogue from the center speaker was crisp and intelligible. The sound had a nice height which seemed to float smoothly over each speaker."

" ... listening to the audio mix [G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra] through the MX satellite's was utterly fun."

"This movie [G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra] gives the surround speakers a lot of love which the MX's handled wonderfully."

"The MM-6 subwoofer was a pleasant surprise, mid-bass was tight, punchy and surprisingly powerful. For such a diminutive sub it makes its presence felt."

"The next time someone asks me what my recommendation would be for a compact speaker system the MX 5.1 speaker system will be high on the list."

MX 5.1

"These powerful boxes of goodness are palm-sized, except for the slightly larger subwoofer that fill out the 360-degree performance with tremendous tremors. The matte black boxes won't compete with your decor, and the magnetic shielding prevents it from competing with your other components, thus reducing interference."

Oasis Omni 6

Stylish and effective audio system for fans of a brights and dynamic sound, Mirage Oasis Omni 6 is the real catalyst of energy.

OS³-Sat

Picturesque sound -- so Mirage can be characterized. At sensual level you easily accept such sound. Rational aspect of sound is overshadowed, but not in such degree that one can find serious reason for criticism. Individual sounding of the model will be loved by many owners..

OS³-FS

Speakers look very graceful due to their proportions, mirror polishing and the glass basis. A good ratio between silent and loud levels corresponds about fast response of projector. It is necessary to note high reloading ability; even on peaks of loudness there are no noticeable distortions.

MX 5.1

Localization of sound sources during film viewing is accurate. Dialogs are pure and clear and do not interfere with other sounds. Special effects look realistic. Low frequencies diligently shake surrounding space.

The system has proved its purpose to be universal acoustic both for music and for modern multichannel soundtracks.

MX 5.1

" ... the Mirage delivered in a manner that was vivid, spacious, and non-fatiguing ..."

"You'll get a bigger sound from the satellites than you'd ever suspect when you lay eyes on them for the first time."

" ... this is a strong specimen in the sat/sub genre, and it will prosper especially well in problematic rooms where speaker-placement options are limited."

"Expect big things of the Mirage MX."

Nanosat® 5.1

"Mirage's gorgeous Nanosat 5.1 Home Theater System may be small, but it produces a huge, room-filling sound for music and movies."

"[the] sound bouncing/reflecting technology creates a truly immersive, room-filling sound."

"The Mirage Nanosat 5.1 system really shines with its surround sound performance. The way it creates an immersive, wrap around soundstage can't be replicated by similarly priced box speaker systems. In addition, the Nanosat 5.1 has a sweet, refined sound that's easy to listen to over extended periods of time."

"For the money, the Mirage Nanosat 5.1 is one of the best "lifestyle" satellite/subwoofer systems we've heard."

MX 5.1

"The Mirage MX not only impressed us with its solid audio performance but its innovative engineering as well. You've never heard a 5.1 system this small sound so good."

"The five Mirage MX satellites together produced a remarkably coherent, room-filling sound. The sound coming from the front and rear satellites was unusually seamless. In fact, with the lights turned down, we lost track of the location of the speakers all together."

"... we were amazed by the MM-6 subwoofer. Small subwoofers too often sound muddy and bloated, but the tiny Mirage [MM-6] was clean and clear."

"Summing up, the Mirage MX 5.1 Home Theater System offers top-notch performance from the smallest satellite speakers and sub we've ever tested."

OS³-FS

"Mirage's OS3 Series creates a complete surround-sound experience using its Omnipolar and Omniguide technology."

Nanosat® Prestige 5

"Mirage's Nanosat Prestige home theater system has a lot going for it. Topping my list are its wonderfully sweet treble, and excellent surround envelopment—traits that you just don't expect from a system with such tiny speakers. And all this from a system that costs only $1400."

"This system integrates confidently, with the sound enveloping us as we listen."

"Smart, solid styling; excellent cohesion; exciting, fast listen; good with music too."

Nano 5.1 HGB

"The system created such a spacious soundfield that it gave us the impression that our studio was larger than what it actually is."

OMD-5 5.1

"A great system for the lover of music listening (especially of naturally recorded classical and jazz) who wouldn't mind some serious cinema sound as well, and insists on big sound from a small space."

OS³-Sat

"Mirage's Omnipolar dispersion projects a deep, wide, and high soundstage ... The tonal balance is essentially neutral and never undernourished."

"The sense of being in the midst of the action really added to the excitement of the film."

"The OS³-SAT and OS³-CC speakers project large scale soundstages beyond what you'd have any right to expect from comparably sized and priced box speakers."

"The Nanosats are very compact and are very well finished-The Subwoofer, a small cube, is also very well finished"

"In short, we highly recommend this system."

OMD-15 5.1

"The OMD-15-based surround speaker system from Mirage is one of the best all-around multichannel speaker systems I have ever reviewed."

"...this OM Design system does deliver true audiophile sound. Add to that the standard premium high-gloss finishes, and Mirage's remarkable OM Design speakers are in a class of their own. You simply must experience them to hear what they're capable of."

OMD-28

"...I can't emphasize strongly enough the impact of the Mirage's realistic stage size and scale. Many direct-radiator loudspeakers produce soundstages that have a diorama-like quality where, within the confines of an imaginary proscenium frame, stage width and depth are precisely defined, as are the positions of performers on stage. These sonic dioramas give listener a taste of hearing the real thing but in miniature, whereas the Mirages produce soundstages that offer much more lifelike width, depth, and height..."

"If, like me, you favor a speaker that gets out of the way and simply lets the music flow and breathe upon soundstages of realistic size and scale, then Mirage's OMD-28s could be your entry ticket to levels of musical realism rarely--and I mean very rarely--heard from speakers in the sub-$8000/pair price range."

"Three channels masterfully squeezed into one horizontal cabinet handle both front and surround duties in this minimalist's dream system."

"I was skeptical, but soon grew impressed (then, almost blown away) by this innovative design."

Nanosat® 5.1

"The Nanosat system, like any small system, has dynamic limitations you must observe, but as long as you play within the system's capabilities, it will reward you with sound that is at once enveloping and exciting, yet also relaxing—a very tough combination to pull off."

"Compared to most systems at this price, the Nanosat offers superior imaging smoothness and three-dimensionality, greater freedom from edginess, better subwoofer integration, and reasonably neutral tonal balance that equals the best I've heard in this class."

"...the Nanosats went on to amaze with the combination of focus, seamless soundfield and detail without harshness. They even delivered with multichannel music, which was doubly impressive."

Nanosat® 5.1

"...in terms of appearance, I rank them at the top of the pile. But what makes the Nanosats really special are the results of Mirage's Omnipolar technology: a large, spacious sound that belies the speaker's size, and the superbly cohesive soundfield you get from five identical speakers."
