Alan Pummill, I sent you a PM... Regards, John Charles

Hi Jerry: I definitely sympathize about being short on time, so here’s to yours well spent! :) Please don’t think I was defensive or taken anything you said personally; I just haven’t found anything written thus far that would warrant becoming that interested. Until then, I’m loafing along...

Billie, You're quite welcome!

Jerry, Anyone calling the company to get the company line on products, will more likely than not get just that: the company line - therefore; straightforward answers with most of the nice details involved sans protecting their interests - are most often vaporware (refreshingly unlike a few...

Jerry, No offence taken. :) Nonetheless, in my review, I had the Mirage ‘7’s, and ‘250’s, alongside Martin Logan Prodigies - all three were fed by an Arcam CD Player (forget the model number, and don’t know where it was in its break-in curve), Anthem TLP 1 (w/roughly 10 hours on it), Anthem...

LOL. Hmmm, when applying “dull” and “veiled” to the fairer sex, it conjures one who is rather slow-witted and not too becoming… No offense, however, its been my experience that the only practical way the 7’s could out do the ‘260’s (given your outcome) would be if the upstream componentry were...

In the amp. department, I've had great success with Anthem's MCA 20 (extremely impressive – performing well beyond its price range – though still alittle bright as mine has roughly 170 hours under its belt), and received even better results using the voltage outs of Sunfire's stereo amp...

Kevin, Please check out the AVS Forum for the Omni Series, as you'll find a lot of the information you're seeking - there... As to the review in question, I’m sure many people would unfortunately think it a good one, due to that “style” being very much the norm. on the ‘net (and elsewhere)...

You're quite welcome Kevin. When you get the chance, give the ‘260’s a listen, as they will be worth your while. I didn’t mention the Sound Stages review of the ‘60’s – as it’s a mixed bad at best, and incredibly inaccurate at its worst, to wit: Very Good to Decent Aspects: • Lead-in...

Hi Kevin, I moderate a thread at AVS devoted to the Omni Series from Mirage, wherein I do the "4 of 5 Review" between Martin Logan's Prodigies, and Mirage's Omni 250's and OM 7's. From the various contributors of the thread, you can extrapolate how the 260's may actually better the 250's...

Alex, I've a thread running over at AVS (currently 23 pages long) covering that very thing, check it out: Omnisats and Beyond: a Look at Mirage’s True Omni-polar Line of Speakers

jaleelk, I don’t appreciate in the least your fragmenting my thread in a realm (high-end audio) that you obviously know little about. To that end, I and certain of my associates have witnessed the break-in tendencies of EVERY amp. preamp., and speakers that we have ever owned, and therefore...

Ron, How does the '50 do with the Paradigm's tweeters, now that the amp. is broken-in? Also, have you had achance to compare it against anything else?

Gentlemen, Thank you for the experience outlaid in your responses – much appreciated! As further input, I read a post in the Audio Asylum by Kevin Deal (of Upscale Audio Fame) who wrote: The new Anthem MCA-50 is a true step apart from earlier models since they have dumped so much money into...

As my rear channel amp. bit the dust, I recently replaced it with an MCA20 (which I got at a huge discount). Understanding that my current HT is morphing into that which will be placed in a dedicated room, based on the following audio equipment: ·DVD Player – still looking ·Anthem AVM 20 V.2...
