Looking to upgrade my towers


Hey there, so I'd like everyone's opinion here. I currently have mirage os3fs towers for my mains but they aren't really impressive with the sound they deliver. Music wise they don't sound very good at all in my opinion. So I've been looking at some different less costly options. Either some used psb silver I's or some used B&W DM603's. These would be for both music and movies. But I think a huge step up either way. What do you think?

@jmccl12 - the Mirage speakers use a diffused tweeter setup to give it that 360 degree dispersion. This is supposed to give a wide open, wall to wall sound stage. However, as the higher frequencies are dispersed around the room, and not directly toward you, I could understand how you feel they may not be crisp enough for your liking. 

Any traditional speaker that has the tweeter and mid-range pointed directly at the listener is likely going to sound more crisp, and definitely different, than the Mirages.

If possible, I would recommend you try to audition another speaker in listening room before committing to a purchase. You may, or may not, like the direct sound.
It would also be helpful is you list the other components in your system. Is it a 2-channel system or a multi-channel HT system? Do you have center and surround speakers to match? Subwoofer?
