I have a set of Mirage M1's. They weigh 185lbs EACH. About 5 feet tall, Two Bass, Two mids, Two tweeters, firing both front & back. Look like the monolith from the film 2001. I paid C$3600 back then for a used set returned to the dealer. A bit over 1/2 price. Had a Mark Levenson no.23 driving them. Bass to 18Hz...The good old days...
Just look here: http://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/689mirage/index.html

Now I have two Bryston 4B's Bi-Amping to them. I plan to exchange the X-Over for an Active Bryston 10B for the Bass/Mid but keep the existing Mid/High with the passive built-in crossover. Anyone try an Active X-over with these, or a Computer Software Crossover filter? I think Digital Room Correction will be hard to do because of the Bi-polar nature so I'm avoiding that. DRC is doable, with 12 channels of amplification & 12 correction filters just for one stereo set of speakers.... I'm not there yet..:-)
Cheers!
