Anyone have a Mirage Omni S10 sub laying around that they would like to sell or upgrade from. I have one and a PSW505 and I would like to buy another Mirage because it responses better for music and sell my Polk.Prefer Platinum but black would do also. The Polk is great for HT but I would like to match my mirage with another one:D

    Good choice. The S10 is a major step up from the 505 anyways.

    Unfamiliar with the Platinum, though... silver finish?
    I don't read the newsssspaperssss because dey aaaallllllllll...... have ugly print.

    The platinum is like the charcoal finish . I wish I would have bought two of these Mirage subs when Vann's had them half price a couple of years ago. Now just finding new ones at retail price.:( And as much as I like my Polk Rti's the sub(PSW505) is lacking a little compared to the Mirage. Plus I realize that using two subs that are not the same is not a good idea. For my budget hopefully I can find another Omni S10 out there among Polkies.

    What is your budget? Might be worth selling both and getting one S10 Prestige. :)

    Well, I am hoping to get one for around $250.00 shipped. I bought mine about 3 years ago from Vann's shipped for $260,00. But that was when there was more supply. And I only need one since I have one, What would you be willing to sell one for?

    I don't have one... but i'll tell you that $250 shipped is going to be rough... :( I just sold an S8 for $200 or around there? I don't have any subs right now. I was just pointing out that you may get some better performance with one S10 Prestige (especially for music) rather than two vanilla S10s.

    What would a prestige go for? But then I would have to sell my two subs. I really like my mirage but I have 17X20 room and that is why I am going with the 2 subs. I missed out on one selling in San Jose,Ca for $210.00 but that was on Craigs List. Not really sure about buying stuff on CL unless it is local.

    A Prestige S10 would have no problems filling that i don't think. I have a greater open area than that where i am, and a single S8 was enough to take care of it.

    Rick88, How does this sub compare to the Omni S10? That is what I presently have.

    Didn't get the Prestige? Why not? That thing is a HUGE step up from the normal S10, and that's a GREAT price.

    If i had the cash right now i'd grab it personally. That's the sub that i'll be going with when i get back into that world. :p

    He was going to upgrade and came across some finance problems so he can not sell it to me at this time. :( I was looking forward to buying it!

    Oh... bummer dude. :( That was a nice deal.

    I think Energy makes some equivalents to these subs, let me dig around and see if i can pull up the exact models again. Someone on here has experience with them, but i forget who. Maybe cstmar01, but i could be wrong.

    Well Ben, I was able to get my other Mirage for the tarde of my PSW505:D
    Moving subs from corners and closer towards my RTi12's. Seeing how that sounds.These subs are alot more musical than the Polk's and now I have matching subs:D And I did find Energy subs that look amost identical. Thanks for your input!

    Oh man, i bet that sounds phenomenal. :D

    How are they doing for movies? I used to run stereo S8s for HT, and it was amazing how much impact those little subs were able to generate.

    But for music, for a budget sub like that, they're REALLY hard to beat. Super fast, musical, and really really tight.

    Well. I listened to music most of the day yesterday with my two mirages hooked up. So it did sound great. Instead of the the big boominess of the Polk. now I seem to hear bass the way it is suppose to sound. I put in "Welcome to the machine" by Floyd. The machine sound on track 2 (welcome to the machine) is always getting things rumbling . :p Wow,these Mirages are nice and tight. Now I see someone selling a S12 on Ebay. Wow! Funny thing is that Mirage does not even list the S12 on their web site anymore.

    The S12 was a very limited run. There aren't many of them around, period. They're a monster for the price you can get them for, though. I don't know that they'd have the same music performance, though. I think the S10 or in your case, two of them ;) would be a better "compromise" between music and HT.

    I'm going to go check out that S12, though... i don't really NEED a sub for music anymore, but i would like one for HT, and i've always been curious about this sub.


    Ehhhh.... bit out of my price range. But man, that thing is ridiculous. 19hz +/- 3db. 1.61" driver excursion. :D

    Have not tried movies yet. I listen to music 75% of the time so it will be interesting how they sound for movies. I wnted to say that the biggest thing I learned is that as much as I like having two subs I should have never had been using two differant subs. Always felt they were slightly out of phase:confused: I can definately tell the differance having two of the same.

    That "what if?" is actually keeping me from doing any major upgrades lately... Don't want to screw up my synergy. :p

    If that S12 is still up there when i get my quarter bonus check next month, i'll be picking that up, just to satisfy my curiousity. :D
