Now you know why I stopped going to concerts around 25 years ago. The last concert I went to left my ears ringing for 3 days, and that is when I said "enough!".

So show us where to get them on sale instead.

I believe the term you were thinking of was "big box stores". (Of course, UE is a big box store and they carry Mirage.)

Other way around. B&W is sold only in brick and mortar stores (which they have in most cities), while Mirage is available at all Ultimate Electronics outlets.

Excellent question. I have never seen them online, and the last time I saw them in a B&M was in Montana (I liked what I heard then, though.) If they want to sell speakers, they should really make them available to the rest of us.

"New York vacation" is a tough concept for me to grasp. To me, vacation means getting as far away from the city (any city) as time and funds allow.

Um, no.:rolleyes: No relationship at all, actually.

Good news for Def Tech fans Vanns has started carrying the full Def Tech line.

Oh, then only the center needs to be 6" or less. This increases your range of choices substantially.

Um, the ones that I quoted.:rolleyes: (Little music below 40Hz, sub difficult to integrate.) As I said, it is my room that causes muddy bass, not the speakers.

No, but in my case it does mean buying almost exclusively jazz, new age, world music, and the mellower side of indie. When I do buy rock, it tends to be more melodic and less agressive than TMV. (Obviously, there are exceptions. For example, I like Modest Mouse.)

Agreed on both points. I actually switched from towers to bookshelves (no sub with either) because the bookshelves don't excite the room modes that can make towers sound muddy. I find that I have no sense of "missing" bass at all. (If I ever upgrade, I would consider somewhat larger bookshelves...

I actively dislike Klipsch, and would never recommend them. Between the others, I prefer Def Tech, though both are good. Don't limit yourself to just these choices, though. Why 6"? Are you putting them inside a cabinet? If so, be aware that this can have a major impact on the sound (and not...

That is a major understatement. I have never seen a Dali speaker in person, and I am not sure if I ever will.

That was your mistake. If "do your own research" is all you learned from this site, it was a valuable lesson. I read reviews (whether on forums or in magazines) only as a way to learn about new products and view opinions. Final buying decisions are always based on what my own ears tell me.

There was a time when their music would have appealed to me, but my tastes have mellowed since then (it is called "getting old", I think. :() They are definitely talented, though.

I have A Blessing and a Curse. It is pretty good. I haven't picked up the new one yet.

Them be puurdy!:D

Why is this in the Steam Vent instead of the speaker forum?:confused: The only center that ever makes sense is one that tonally matches the mains, which is only going to happen by sticking to the same manufacturer. (Probably even the same line.)

I think that more than room size must be involved. Large towers sound awesome in my HT, which is only 10' X 10'. Those same towers sound too bass-heavy in my music room, which is 12' X 20', and I greatly prefer bookshelves in there.
