Well folks, Mirage finally brought a smile to my face and i guess thats about the best compliment you can give a speaker (or equipment). Process of breaking in might be painful sometimes but all the more rewarding afterwards. The soundstage opened up, thanks to me moving them around too, and resolution has gotten considerably better. Boy, do these have bass? Hyperions were no slouch in that dept. and go as deep, but as far as sheer amount of bass, Mirages win. Detail retrieval is on the same level as Hyperions, though most of the images dont have as much precision as I reached with Hyperions, just like it is to be expected. I find them overall a very pleasant speaker to listen to. I'm sure they would benefit from a little more power, an amp with a cool nature might be a perfect fit for these.
