Mirage Omnisat v2 FS Recommendations

by mark last modified January 30, 2007

I’ve purposely saved mentioning one of the v2’s particularly notable strengths for last.

In the listening room I chose for the v2s there sits between them a large screen TV. So it seemed only natural to make use of them for watching movies, something I’ve done many times in the past with many other loudspeakers.

I’ve often found that if you weren’t sitting in the sweet spot (particularly true where it comes to systems sporting 1st order crossover networks) the sound quality suffered. With the v2s - and their ability to fill the listening space with a huge soundstage - there wasn’t a bad seat in the house, so to speak.

The seating area within this particular listening room can accommodate comfortably 10 to 15 people. With the v2s in place, watching movies had become a social experience. Gone was the situation where of the 10 – 15 listeners there were only one or two lucky enough to be sitting in the sweet spot enjoying the movie’s soundtrack to its maximum advantage.

If you’re interested in enjoying movies at home but are not yet prepared to make the investment required for piecing together a proper home theater system, then I would highly recommend the v2s as a terrific alternative, especially when coupled with a subwoofer.

The Score Card

The scoring below is based on each piece of equipment doing the duty it is designed for. The numbers are weighed heavily with respect to the individual cost of each unit, thus giving a rating roughly equal to:

Performance × Price Factor/Value = Rating

Audioholics.com note: The ratings indicated below are based on subjective listening and objective testing of the product in question. The rating scale is based on performance/value ratio. If you notice better performing products in future reviews that have lower numbers in certain areas, be aware that the value factor is most likely the culprit. Other Audioholics reviewers may rate products solely based on performance, and each reviewer has his/her own system for ratings.
