Mirage Omni 350 omnipolar
well, i haven't listened enough, they just got here and like i said my amp is underpowered. plus, i haven't owned that many speakers, apogee minigrand, tekton design, and a few lesser speakers. i've never owned speakers in the $800 range. that sai... 
Mirage Omni 350 omnipolar
hi everyone,i just received my omni 550's and, as i mentioned before, i will need a new amplifier, as my 15 t-amp just won't do, though i can get some reasonable volume, it clips well before the speakers run out of steam. so, can somebody recommen... 
Mirage Omni 350 omnipolar
if you're asking me, i've never heard them, long ago i heard teh mirage m1's, but i know these are different, just wanted an omni sound and don't have much doe, so i figured i why not at this price. definitely not expecting miracles, but feel pret... 
Mirage Omni 350 omnipolar

which is your favorite inexpensive stereo system?
of couse, i'll always offer the cheap fostenx 167e bookshelf enclosures with a cheaper subwoofer. it is the only cheap system i've had (and currently had), though i did have a pair a bottom of the line magnepans, which i have come to think were no... 
tekton speakers anyone know of these , t amps?
i don't know about streaming with the squeezebox but i have a pair of tekton 6 inchers (fostex 167e drivers) driven by a trends 10.1 t-amp and am very impressed by the results, particularly considering the uber budget price point. it is easy to te... 
quasi-omni, cheap speakers for a friend's new barn
thanks very much everyone, along the lines of what most of you have said, i told him last night that bose would probably be his best bet...btw, i wasn't trying to "convert" him, just that he'd expressed some interest in trying something new if it ... 
quasi-omni, cheap speakers for a friend's new barn
rar1, good question, sorry i wasn't more clear. it is an actual barn but not a "working" barn, mainly designed as a barn to fit into the rural landscape, but used primarily for storage (cars, tools, lawnmowers, etc.), it will be sealed very tight ... 
quasi-omni, cheap speakers for a friend's new barn
thanks mapman, if they could be suspended the ohm speakers would definitely seem the way to go, there is a pair of walsh 4's for $400 on audiogon that i wish i could tempt him into buying. if not the ohms, i fear he will just get another pair of b...

no animals, only old cars, lawn mowers, tools, etc., but that's an excellent consideration! 
The focus and air lie
Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is THE BEST fz

wow, shadorne, no one could do a better job of refuting your argument than your own words. 
The focus and air lie
shadorne, using terms like "circular argument" fallaciously hurts whatever point you are trying to make. there is nothing circular in my argument. as i stated before, you argument, if it can be called that, is reductionist. like much reductionist ... 
The focus and air lie
mrtennis,wow, you missed the point entirely...in refutation of my argument you simply restating it: since we cannot get inside others' heads, so we cannot assert through any objective fashion that something external to their heads is where the mus... 
The focus and air lie
