They wiped out Mirage which made excellent speakers until a decade ago or about the time Klipsch bought them.

Probably the only way I won't buy either the Focal or MA speakers is if I can find a cost effective way to put a large book case with wooden doors into the recessed area of the living room. If I do that, then I will look at rear ported speakers again since I have some great options available including Jamo's Concert series speakers or Dali Zensor 1's at reasonable prices.

If you want a great rear ported speaker check out the JBL Studio 530's. As far as Harman Int. they are the parent company of Revel, Infinity, JBL, Harman Kardon, Mark levinson and AKG.

The MA's will not give you the midrange warmth that the Focal's will.

The Studio 530's are currently on sale through JBL fro $479 a pair.
