Hi Tim,I really loved the M1s because it had the staging/imaging of the best planars with dynamics of cone drivers. It really sounded great with tube gear, provided it can deliver the juice. Only couple of issues - the treble was not as refined as a ribbon or good electrostat, the mid bass could be a bit bloomy without careful amp selection, not quite the level of transparency of an Apogee or electrostat but similar to Maggie. It had tremendous low bass extension.

Thank you for your thoughtful response MGH;That description pretty much defines what Ive often heard about those classic speakers. At times I would prefer a passive lower end in my bass section thereby utilising the full power of my Plinius monos, tightening things up a bit on the bottom, but these are minor omitions.
Dont know where Mirage is headed in the future but I know Kevin Voecks current designer of Revel line had a hand in the M series development as did Ian Paisley. Probably their best effort!
Best...
