I have a NAD 773. I am looking for a HOME SPEAKER set up in the $1,000 raneg and am cosidering the Miarge Pestige series as well as the Definitve Technology Pro Cinema 800 series. Any feedback appreciated.
a dealer near me (in danbury CT, bout an hour and a half away) has def tech. I have never heard a pair but am quite curious.
My pioneer components came from there. He has a decent quality setup on the main floor. Think the next time I go down there I am going to stop in for a listen.
Comments here generally have me believing that I wont like them.
If you have a Magnolia Home Theater near you (inside some Best Buys), they carry both and should have them on the floor. They sound pretty different from each other.
I haven't hear the specific models but have heard fairly recent models of both the Mirage and DT line.
I'm not sure I would say the DT's are brighter. I heard them in a HT setup and they sounded good for that (they were paired with a Denon 2808 AVR). The worked together rather seemlessly. When I heard the Mirage speakers on a Yamaha AVR they sounded rather dull and rolled off or indistinct in the high frequencies...could be due to the omnipolar design. All speakers have a certain sound and following but the Mirage line was not to my liking. Though I would have to hear the DT line for music, I'd say they were worth investigation but specifically the Mythos line.
Robert- Does your dealer only carry these two brands? Have u sat down to hear any others? Lots of budget speaker companies out there. Some of which sound very good for the money.
