Which would you choose ?

Given the choice between a set of Smaller Advents with the green fried egg tweeters, or Mirage 360, Which would you choose ? The Advents need refoam and if the Mirage don't they soon will. The Advents are cheaper and the distance is about the same. The Mirage look to have the same Vifa tweeters as my Pinnacle PN-8+. I'm leaning towards the Mirage.

Mirage. You could stay married to those for a long time.

Do you think they would sound similar to my Pinnacle PN-8+ ? One thought was going for something with a different flavor.

Mirages for me, as well. Haven't heard the Pinnacle's, but have spent time with some bigger brothers to the 360's and found them to excel with jazz, rock, and similar genres, classical music not so much.

Orchestral classical music provides the most difficult test for a speaker to pass, imo. The Mirage M460 I am familiar with excel at playing small ensemble chamber pieces.

Reproducing piano is a true test for a speaker's accuracy. Not so much of a bass test though. Classical music will truly test a speaker's ability to reproduce the full range of sounds at one moment.
