[Mupepe]

congrats dude!

I have the mirage speaker set up.  they're brilliant.  the floor speakers are around 400-500 each.  but are totally worth it.  I have a sony receiver to go along with it.  seriously, i haven't encountered anything in RL that sounds significantly better.

if you want, i'll post links and stuff to my set up

[bud]

I was able to actually find a review of their entire omnisat line.  So here ya go.
http://www.hometheatersound.com/equipment/mirage_omnisat_v2fs_v2cc_v2_omni_s10.htm

The floor speakers are about 500 each.  The surround speakers are about 250 each.  The sub is ~500.  All of this stuff you can probably find cheaper if you hit up a place like Best Buy or a local HT shop.

recommend Mirage’s Omnisat v2-based home-theater system with even greater enthusiasm than the original Omnisat 6 system. I like the looks, I like the sound, I like the build quality, and I especially like the fact that I can stay home and enjoy movies more often without feeling any unease with the sound. While this speaker system won’t be a good choice for a very large room based on its smallish size, for average-sized listening or living rooms, which is what I suspect most people have, it will produce a soundfield that defies its size and give you a sense of envelopment and involvement that's uncanny.

For $2400 for the whole setup, Mirage’s Omnisat v2-based theater is a high-style high-end bargain.

A review for the floorspeakers:

Mirage, a company that has often marched to the beat of its own drummer with its rather eccentric speaker designs, seems to have that problem licked with the new line of Omnisat speakers, whose origins can be traced to the original Omnisat satellite speaker debuted in 2002. The top of this new series is the Omnisat v2 FS, a floorstanding loudspeaker that looks like a million bucks placed on either side of my TV, doesn’t cost nearly that much (they’re $1000 USD per pair), and delivers such surprising performance that Mirage may well have set the standard for combining great looks, good sound, and high value in a floorstanding loudspeaker design.

Now, my receiver is fairly budget compared to the rest of my setup, but it works wonderful until I decide to spring for the Onkyo receive I want:

Sony 840W 7.1-Ch. XM Satellite Radio-Ready Digital Home Theater Receiver

It does pretty much everything you'd want at this point.  Just not "high end."  It doesn't even push my speakers at this point.

How awesome was it when Shane

spoiler (click to show/hide)

took a piss all over that black dude after he told Shane to suck his dick? And then in the car when Mackey asks him what the fuck he was thinking, Shane replies, "He was being a pain in the ass!" and then Mackey says, "You've been a pain in my ass lately, should I piss on you??"
