Those speakers are pretty nice but you need a heck of a lot more than a vintage integrated with 26 watts to drive them. They are ridiculously low sensitivity. And, being a dipole speaker, room treatment and placement becomes even more critical. I guess it comes down to what you want to hold on to more....the Marantz or the Mirage. But they are not a match.
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 😊
