Mirage OMD-28

The Mirage OMD-28 is the flagship floorstanding speaker of those offered by Mirage.  This speaker is intended to give sound reminiscent of a cineplex or live concert experience, with an exquisite look to fit any decor.  Featuring a top mounted 1.1" chambered titanium dome tweeter and 5.25" multi-layer carbon fiber / fiberglass hybrid midrange, with two frontmounted 8" multi-layer carbon fiber woofers, the OMD-28 provides Mirages signature immersive 360º sound.  The use of premium materials and exclusive technology help give these speakers high levels of tonal detail and accuracy.  The curved handmade cabinet is available in three veneers; piano black, rosewood or burled maple, and there is a removable top and front grill cloth.  Mirage even includes a polishing cloth to maintain the speakers aesthetic appeal, and "grip gloves" to help unpack the speakers.
