from Audio Ark Summary:
This is an excellent speaker for a home theatre set-up. The bass is tight and can be adjusted to one's own taste. It is also excellently suited for music applications. This sub would not be suited for someone wanting to "shake the floor". It has obviously been designed for moderate applications. This subwoofer is in keeping with the Mirage line of products. It is a high-end product for the discriminating listener. The speakers are not meant to be driven to capacity for booming effects. I have my system mated with front Mirage SM-3s. These speakers are almost twenty years old. I have an Energy centre channel and Energy rears. Coincidentally, the Energy product with which I compared this Mirage at the time had the exact same specifications. Obviously, since Mirage and Energy are made by the same company, the speakers were the same with only the nameplate being different. I would recommend this speaker. Strengths:
The speaker is good-looking and would fit into any decor as its appearsnce is not intrusive. It has just the right "oomph" and can, of course, be adjusted to suit one's own tastes. It is well-priced for the product. Weaknesses:
My connection is by way of a sub pre-out on the receiver (a Pioneer VSX-504S); i.e. RCA to RCA. The connection is somewhat sensitive as any jarring on the subwoofer end of the connection produces enormous feedback to the point where it sound like the speaker may blow. Note: this occurs even when no sound is being pumped through it. Similar Products Used:
I have not used similar subs as this is my first one. However, I did do comparison shopping. Given that my application for this sub was to be in a home theatre set-up, I wanted a compatible product so ended up concentrating on the Mirage and Energy product lines.
