    Mirage OM-5 vs other Mirage Speakers (OM-6, M-490iS, M-590i, M-595iS, M-890i)

    I have the Mirage OM-5. They're great. Thanks to integrated 250W amp they are can be easily driven by ANY amplifier, even 9Wpc (Dual CV 20) so I can choose the amp by sounding, not by possibility to drive 'em. And every amplifier playing as he is, but with the possibilities to play as much good...

    Mirage m460 and 60 series general thread (reopening the discussion)

    FIRST POST on AK These speakers haven't been discussed in a while so let's dive in! So, I recently picked up a pair of Mirage m460 speakers (2nd to left in the picture) for $150 on Marketplace and am loving them. I am a newer somewhat young (28) low-budget aspiring audio enthusiast. I've...

    Centre for Bipolar Mirage M3

    Looking to find a speaker to centre between Mirage M-3's in a home theatre behind an acoustically transparent screen. I can get a Mirage OM-C2 that matches for $350 Cdn but was curious if I might find a contemporary neutral floorstander/bookshelf that could do a better job. I'm considering a Kef...

    Mirage M595IS troubleshooting

    Hello and good day! I have a question about the Mirage m-595is. I just hooked these up as my bedroom speakers powered by an Onkyo TX 8160 stereo amp. I've noticed today that the rear tweeter might not be working. If I close-in my ear to the back of the speakers, I hear the woofer doing it's...

    Mirage M3si’s - amp discussion 2020

    Hi everyone, New member here. I’m currently in the process of putting together my first audiophile stereo system. My father had a set of m5si’s in college and loved them - I did some research and just picked up a pair of used Mirage M3si’s. From what I’ve read they should sound great with all...

    Replacement Woofers for Mirage SM2's

    I have a pair of Mirage SM2 speakers with Polydax woofers that are shot. Both voice coils have corroded and they are going to cost more to repair than to replace. I have not for the life of me, been able to find the specs on the speakers. The closest I've come is finding specs on Mirage SM2.5's...

    Thoughts on new Kef R series?

    I currently have Mirage m3si for my mains, mcsi for a center, and frx surrounds. I like my current setup but I am very intrigued by the new Kef R series or even the old, now discounted, R series. Has anyone heard the R3 or R300s? Any thoughts on if I should make the plunge into Kef? Would be...

    Mirage M-460 Woofer: Repair or Replace?

    I recently picked up a pair of Mirage M-460 speakers. I was amazed at the sound of these...not even considering the fact that one of the woofers needs repaired/replaced. Everything seems to be in pretty good shape on these except the one woofer...the surround seems to be pealing away from the...

    Not that I need any more speakers.....

    But I just cant pass up on a brand that I know I like. Even more so when price is right. Yesterday I happened to come across some fairly small bookshelf speakers. They are truly "modern" bookshelf type - we all know that some vintage Bookshelf speakers are huge and would not really fit on most...

    Impressed with a new addition to my collection

    For a while now, I thought I was pretty much done with buying speakers - I thought I found everything I wanted - after trying many, going through the whole buying and selling process and finally settling to a few sets that made most happy. I even switched gears and dove into cassette decks and...

    Mirage OM-10

    Afternoon All, After witnessing a seriously impressive demo with a set of Definitive Technology BP-10, it occurred to me that I've never owned or tried a set of bipolar or omnipolar speakers in my home. As much as I love precision imaging and instrument placement, I also hate how being removed...

    All these speakers - my head is spinning!

    Hi all, About a year ago ( or slightly more) I got back into Vinyl and vintage audio in general. Since then it has been a rollercoaster of amps, receivers and most of all speakers. And this forum is where I get most of my information about the equipment. Pouring over the reviews and opinions...

    Mirage OM-7 -- How Do I Get to the Crossover?

    I just acquired a pair of Mirage OM-7's. We had some flooding in the neighborhood, so somebody threw these onto the curb. Upon putting them in the minivan, I discovered that there was some water sloshing in the bases of the speakers. I pulled the hex screws and was able to drain the water...
