Well, they are going back. Probably the heaviest speaker for the size I’ve ever encountered so I had high hopes. I know that’s not much to go on but I can dream. A friend of mine bought a home theater in a box surroundsound system once, I always had to ask if his surround speakers were even on. In A B testing VS Focal 706 the Mirage surrounds were drastically quieter. My room is decent sized, I don’t know that I could get enough gain out of my Marantz to make them work. There were warmer than I expected considering they have dual titanium dome tweeters.
