Thanks for the response, Markphd. Because of the need for ambient sound that I can enjoy while moving about the dining and living rooms and my budget, I went with the Mirage Nanosat with their accompanying Nanosub. I'm guessing that I'll upgrade the sub, but I'll have to hear it first. I should be getting them this week.
Mirage Sat VS. Klipsch RSX?
Hi Folks,
I'm brand new to the forum and wanted to post a couple questions. First off, I'm not an audiophile, but I do appreciate quality sound. I just remodeled my living room and dining room and as a result, my better half would like to "adios" our current floor and book shelf speakers to save space and have a cleaner look. As such, I'm considering the Mirage OmniSat/NanoSat or a Klipsch RSX-3/4 to mount on the walls along with an accompanying powered sub.
I would be powering the speakers with a Hafler Pro505 amp & Hafler 945 preamp. (I got these from a friend ten years ago when I listened to my music a lot louder.) I'd like to keep them, but does anyone think it would be overkill for smaller speakers like these? I am interested in a set-up that would mount two speakers in my dining room and two speakers in the connecting/adjacent living room and placing a floor sub in between the two rooms to share the bass - the opening between the two rooms about 6.5 feet wide.
I heard the Mirage sats yesterday at my local dealer and really liked them. I haven't heard the RSX's yet as the closest dealer is about an hour away. Can any of you audio vets out there offer your opinions on the strengths/weaknesses/qualities of both?
I should mention that I listen to all types of music from rock to hip-hop, jazz & classical Indian. I'm open to all ideas or recommendations.
As my 7 year-old son would say, "We need some audio in here, Dad". Thanks in advance for any info!
