I had M-1’s for years. Love the soundstage. I used to watch Henry Kloss upside down double stack them with 8 amps. They need appropriate power, mucho. I used a Sim W-5, 185 watts into 8 ohms, double that into 4, was barely enough because the M-1’s really didn’t come alive until pushed =loud. If that’s your bag then you need the power. As myself and others with experience have already iterated, friendly speakers that are efficient is the name of the game for many now a days. However, being that you have a pair, after all, they were a product of Canadien research, enjoy the education and pick up a quality used powerhouse amp. Give Paul Egan of Syzygy Subwoofers a call. He was intimately involved with Mirage. Most of all, enjoy the ride.
Do speaker wires matter
I recently was given a pair of Mirage M1 speakers. All highs, mids and lows work but I don’t believe they sound like they should.
The tweeters are not giving the detailed highs. I am not sure if the mids and lows are where they should be.
i am currently using a vintage 2226b Marantz I just had restored. Impedance is 8 ohms and it only puts out 26 wpc. I know these speakers require A much more powerful amp. I’ve done a little research on this.
im wondering if the speakers could not sound as good because of the Marantz and/or also because of the speaker wires I’m currently using. I don’t know what gauge they are. They were given to me as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
i did also find a Mirage technician in Canada who still repairs them if I’ll have to take that route. No turning back now 😊
