Great small system |

We built a media room that was 12' x 24'. I prewired the walls for a surround sound system. Since the room was so small, I didn't want to use up floor space with large monitors. The MX 5.1 filled the bill nicely. The only floor space taken up was the area used by the sub-woofer (less than 1 sq. foot). The system sounds equal to my much larger Klipsch system in a different room.

These are supremely crisp and clear, and I couldn't be happier with the sound quality. The 5.1's were selected for the superior subwoofer, compared to the nanosats. (OS-3's surpassed my budget.) I use two in front and two next to the sofa in a medium-sized room. The fifth is my back-up. (It was originally used as my center-channel speaker, but I thought it was a little weak for regular TV dialogue.) I bought a Mirage OS-3 center-channel speaker to complement these, and that did the trick. I highly, highly recommend this Mirage setup.

Pretty amazing for their size |

I really wanted the Nanos but the size wasn't suitable for the decor according to the wife. So I got these instead and figured I'd have to put my 12" polk sub in there and put the Mirage 's tiny sub back in the box. After installing and watching a movie, at first I thought wow, these little speakers put out a lot of mid range and bass so I turned the volume down on the sub and to my amazement that little sub kicks. As the other reviewer said it won't jar any bones or shake you off the couch but is more than adequate for any type of listening. The speakers are superb. Our room is 16x18 but the stairwell is open to the upstairs so there is no rear wall. Thus the reason I wanted to go with the Mirage speakers, that Omni Polar technology really works. I only have the 3 front ones going at the moment sitting on the mantle and they sound great. I can't wait until I can run the wires in-wall and hookup the surrounds. They are powered by an Onkyo TX-SR608. Do yourself a favor and get a good receiver as that is the braintrust of any sound system. I learned that a few years ago by switching to Onkyo from another lesser brand and the sound was 110% noticibly better with the same older speakers.
Bottom line is if you have an irregular room (or not!), want speaker placement flexibility, great sound from tiny speakers for a small-mid sized room, buy these, you won't be dissapointed! I certainly have been very satisfied with them.

I am honestly overwhelmed by the quality and quantity of sound coming out of these tiny speakers. Far better performance than my venerable acoustic suspension speakers in their 4' high 80-lb. wooden pieces of furniture with 12" woofers. My room is 335 sq. ft. and these speakers are more than adequate to cover that area, with sound spilling out in to the rest of the house and outside into the street. Paired with a 100 watt/channel receiver, there's no chance I could crank up the volume all the way without blowing out my eardrums. I've used them with 5.1 movies and classical CDs. Bass performance from the subwoofer is also astonishing for its size. While I can detect it can't quite pump out bone-jarring volumes at the lowest frequencies, it's plenty adequate for normal listening.
