Had a pair of Mirage M-5si. A Rotel 990 power amp drove those to good effect (into 4 ohms was putting out well over 300wpc) Phenomenal room lock in the bass from two 6.5 inch woofers! The mirage speakers were clearly voiced on the dark side so don't expect a lot of sparkle from the tweeter regardless of amp/cables.
Do speaker wires matter
I recently was given a pair of Mirage M1 speakers. All highs, mids and lows work but I don’t believe they sound like they should.
The tweeters are not giving the detailed highs. I am not sure if the mids and lows are where they should be.
i am currently using a vintage 2226b Marantz I just had restored. Impedance is 8 ohms and it only puts out 26 wpc. I know these speakers require A much more powerful amp. I’ve done a little research on this.
im wondering if the speakers could not sound as good because of the Marantz and/or also because of the speaker wires I’m currently using. I don’t know what gauge they are. They were given to me as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
i did also find a Mirage technician in Canada who still repairs them if I’ll have to take that route. No turning back now 😊
