Anyone here familiar with Mirage speakers?

My father is looking for a new 5.1 system and is interested in:

Omnisat V2 FS (x2)
V2 CC
V2 Sat (x2)
Prestige S10 Sub

Driven by a Denon AVR-2808CI...

He likes polk speakers but does not like the size...

He is really drawn to the small footprint of the whole Mirage set-up, plus they are reviewed very well. Keep in mind he is coming from a 15 yr old Bose system (small cube speakers...).

So, any input?

    They are really nice for the money speakers. They all hang on the wall and give off a big sound for little speakers. There sub is ok 2. In a small to mid size room for theater use, they will please most people. I have Installed them many times with never once a customer not liking them for any reason.

    My personal quest is to save to world of bad audio, one thread at a time.

    The V2 FS main fronts are a floor standing speaker... they have the "Omnipolar" speakers on top and a total of six drivers on the bottom part of the speaker that face forward.
