Description :
The Mirage M-3si engineers focus on four areas as being critical to the product's improvement - tweeter design, crossover points and slopes, midrange and woofer cone materials, and cabinet construction. Mirage's Pure Titanium Hybrid (PTH) tweeter is the "first dynamic tweeter which can claim the transparency achieved with electrostatic or ribbon designs while eliminating the sonic overhang typical of those designs. The crossover has also been revised to eliminate crossover distortion, flatten the frequency response, and improve coherency between the low- and high-frequency drivers. The bass ports have also been re-engineered and enlarged for maximum efficiency and minimum vent turbulence (a type of distortion occurring when a large volume of air is passed through a relatively small, circular port). The system in the room is capable of marvelous soundstaging, pinpoint imaging, and virtually holographic presentations of musical events. The sound is precise at low volumes, but it is also spectacular and moving when you crank it up. The Mirage M-3si is a fantastic fullrange speaker for the price. It has the excellent high, mid, and low range dynamics. The soundstaging is phenomenonal. The whole wall sounds like a speaker. The deep deep bass and rumble is incredible and can be heard through the house. It is simply magical and addicting. The loudspeakers are wonderful, and should immediately appeal to all music lovers out there whose desires for high-end sound are tempered by worldly realities.
