Anyone have any input on these? Ive never listened to any of the M series from Mirage. Any input will be helpful, thanks in advance! :D
Most of them only hear how loud it sounds, and the rest of us hear everything else - :rolleyes:

    Actually I bought a pair via ebay, also got a pair of M-90is speakers too. $160 shipped for all, not a bad deal if they sound as good as most of their equipment. Seller states that they are in great condition.

    Okay so I got the M-390is Mirage speakers earlier this week(ebay purchase), and man all I can say is WOW! For 2-way 2-driver towers I cant believe how much sound these put out, and very good sound at that! Very nice strong bass but not boomy, excellent mids and smooth but detailed highs, no listening fatigue either. The only negative I found out is that are not magnetically shielded.

    I called Mirage and the tech sent me the manuals and the original brochures via email, while I was still on the phone with him.

    As for the condition I would give them an 8/10 only because there are a couple nicks on the back edges, and there was an area of cloth coming loose from the inside of one of the grills but some 2-way golf grip tape took care of that. One of the tweeters was pushed in too, but that same tape on the end of screwdriver handle took care of that too.

    P.S. my green carpet looks great with that retro 70's wood paneling and I promise I wont ask for any paint color advise:D
