The Crown References, is that 760/channel into 8 ohms? My Levinson 336 is 350/ch into 8 ohms, 700/6ohms and 1400/ch into 2 ohms. The bass on some classical through the M1Si's, was just bloated and at times, muddy. I had not heard the bloated sound when I auditioned them in a high end store but they had it perfectly placed in the room with an amp that was smaller then mine (MacIntosh). Recently, I changed my outlets to Hubbel hospital grade 20 amp with a dedicated 20 amp line to the amplifier. That really tightened up the bass a lot and made the midrange open up. The Mirages have been blamed for being too laid back as well as Levinson, but the power change woke this system up. My amp has never been regarded as being too soft down low which is why I scratched my head. I think the bass in my room is affecting the speaker somewhat. Mirage says the M1Si needs length in front of it, some 6ft. placement away from back and side walls, if I remember correctly, something I do not have here. Lastly, there is a great deal to be made about power in the house! I had a Chang Reference Lightspeed connected to all my audio equipment. When I disconnected that and plugged directly into separate 20 amp sockets, my system which was too laid back and polite, just came alive. My advice to anyone building a system or tweaking it is to change the power immediately the way I did. Use 20 amp (orange) wire from Home Depot. Its cheap and a huge improvement. I never use my Chang anymore!
