For my music only listening room I have a pair of Mirage M5si's, and a
Velodyne ULD12 to help out on the bottom end. The Mirage's are Bipolar,
(matched drivers firing forward and backward in phase) and I love the sound,
presents a huge soundstage. Imaging could be better, but that's
the trade off when you have bipolar speakers. They are powered by
an Adcom GFA555 mk2, and the preamp is a "Great American Sound"
"Thalia". I don't think I'll upgrade very soon. They sound great,
and I've had they since 1994.
Home Theater wise I have Atlantic Tech 350THX speakers (except for
the sub). I have 2 HSU VTF2's subs (The VTF-3 wasn't available when
I bought these). Powered by an ATI 1505 power amp and B&K Ref 20
prepro. I still like the sound of the speakers, although they kinda suck for
music (IMO), they have pretty good impact for movies.
I also have a small home theater in progress, and it's only 2.1 now.
Speakers are Axiom M3ti's, and they sound very good, open and
detailed. The bass is OK, but I have a sub (10)" from parts
express to help with that.............Vardo
