Looking to upgrade my towers


Hey there, so I'd like everyone's opinion here. I currently have mirage os3fs towers for my mains but they aren't really impressive with the sound they deliver. Music wise they don't sound very good at all in my opinion. So I've been looking at some different less costly options. Either some used psb silver I's or some used B&W DM603's. These would be for both music and movies. But I think a huge step up either way. What do you think?

@jmccl12 - the Mirage speakers use a diffused tweeter setup to give it that 360 degree dispersion. This is supposed to give a wide open, wall to wall sound stage. However, as the higher frequencies are dispersed around the room, and not directly toward you, I could understand how you feel they may not be crisp enough for your liking. 

Any traditional speaker that has the tweeter and mid-range pointed directly at the listener is likely going to sound more crisp, and definitely different, than the Mirages.

If possible, I would recommend you try to audition another speaker in listening room before committing to a purchase. You may, or may not, like the direct sound.
Ok. Thats very helpful feedback. Thanks alot. Some different things to think about now. 
I've never used a passive line before. Anyone recommend who or where to start looking. If I'm going to try this out I'd like to know my money is going to a quality component for noticeable change. 
You'll hear a big difference even if you get a cheap one. Of course you can spend more money and get one that sounds better, but the main thing is to get the HT processor out of the signal path. I have one made by Channel Island Audio that would be fine. It sells for $200-$300 if I remember correctly. Creek also makes a good one.

If you've ever wanted to try something like an AQ Dragonfly, that will work as well. It sells for $100 and you can use it with a computer, tablet or smart phone. You would run a cable from the DF directly to an input on your amp. Best Buy sells them, so can always return it if it doesn't work out.
