I recently heard M1 in a small room (with NAD M3) of 170 sq feet - it was the best sound I have heard. Amazing bass, no sweet spot (music was 'everywhere') and it seemed like live show just in the room. Amazing.
Can anyone please tell me if indeed M1si was inferior model (to make the manufacturing process quicker) and more mass produced in comparison to M1 please? (especially when someone has heard them side by side or even owned both at the same time! That would be awesome).
I am asking as......I want to buy those Mirage speakers now hehe (either M1 or M3) but dunno if I 'have to look only for original M1' or if I'm going to get the same awesome sound also with M1si.
thanks
ps. Also, I understand that in both M1 and M1si the mids and woofers had foam chassis which requires rebuilding over time as the foam deteriorates?
Is it hard to rebuild or pain in the ass and hard to find people doing that kind of work?
