MIRAGE 0M -10 Speakers or MISSION Cyrus 781 ?
If it were me, I'd keep the pair of Cyrus. I've always been a huge fan of Mission/Cyrus. Still have my original Cyrus One integrated amp, paired with Mission 760's. And I'm about to take possession of a Cyrus Two + PSX integrated that I'll set up ... 
New speakers for a new start?
You may want to look at Volti. Hard to find used as we owners are usually pretty smitten and cherish them. I was just thinking that a pair of Razz or Lucera's would sound great in the larger room you described. As the mid is horn loaded they woul... 
Amp for Vintage Heresy
When I had my Heresy’s they were a great match with my McIntosh 240.

I second the visit to Volti HQ ! Greg really went out of his way to make me feel welcome and comfortable. We listened for hours to several of his models, even a prototype. Without a doubt a session unlike anything I’ve experienced. Definitely not ... 
Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed?

Volti Volti Volti !! Talk about speed and dynamics. I’d bet these are the droids you are looking for. Yes it is true there is not a return policy. However if you are intentional and make an effort to listen to a pair, the return policy will be ir... 
Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier
Enthusiastic vote for Cary. I currently have an SLI80HS powering a pair of Volti Razz and feel the pairing is heavenly IMO. Has pre outs for a sub. (Sometimes I swap in my little SVS micro3000) Back when, I worked in the only real HIFI store in t...

Good morning all and happy belated Fourth of July! Hope everyone survived with fingers and dignity intact… @silverfoxvtx1800 makes me happy to hear the pairing of the First Watt and the Razz hits all your happy buttons! To me one of the superpower... 
That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For
For me finally getting that combination that does everything right. When I paired my beloved Volti Razz with a Cary SLI80HS.   
Unison Research Max 2 vs Border Patrol Volti Rival Horn Speakers
This will come as no surprise to anyone here, but I'd pair the Volti Rivals with Border Patrol amps and never look back. Have heard them paired a handful of times and the result is heavenly. I have not heard the Unison's.

@silverfoxvtx1800 I did not listen to the SE version of the Rival. I have heard the type II and loved it. Everything the Razz does just bigger and fuller. Plus the low end extension was deep and effortless. I hope to get a pair of Rival's one day,...

I will need to check those out my friends. Count me a fan of Williams, just have yet to buy.. I’m open to any suggestions you guys have. Last night I was listening to Thundercat Drunk and Sketches of Spain in mono. ( to me the mono sounds better, ...

😂😂😂 @silverfoxvtx1800 i am so glad you are digging them! I played hooky from work today, had the house to myself and cranked mine all day long. Fats Domino, Steely Dan, Tool, Jimmy Hendrix… every time I do, I just fall head over heels all over aga...

Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed?
I did get two listens to the Lucera at the Fla. show in Feb. I was struck by how even better the mids sounded than my Razz. Fuller and more weight, more presence in the soundstage. The highs were just as sweet as my Razz, but just a little better ...
