General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Mirage M1Si - bass comments

Duke,

I didn't realize the speaker(s) are too close to the wall and I believe you are right in assuming they will sound off or muddy in the bass if too close. My room is small for the time being but its walls are bare with just a deep pile wool rig on the floor.At least that much I got right with reflective wall surfaces. The imaging is very good despite the improper placement. These are amazing speakers and i've read reviews of newer models from Mirage that are having problems with thin bass response. Mine are more than 10 years old and still in great shape. I do want to open them up and modify them (maybe cryoing the crossovers) but have not found the way to safely disconnect the wiring inside. It's a vault in there. The speaker components seem really cheap inside when I removed and examined one midrange. I know speakers have specific dynamic capabilities and although I want to replace one or all, I don't want to mess up what has been pre-preprogrammed into the crossover in correlation to the respective speaker. .
