These speakers are well suited for a second set somewhere that is not the primary entertainment focus in your household. While many reviews categorize these as awesome, unbeliveable, etc., I found them far from high performance and miles away from any of the stellar reviews found here and elsewhere.
Pros:
Nice size
Easy installation
Quality design
Attractive
Brackets included
Reasonble size sub-woofer that is well powered
Flexible setup (based on your driver config)
Cons:
Performance is lacking
Sound resolution at various volumes
Do not handle all types of music well
To me, the cons heavily outweigh the pros in this case; and, if I had the chance to audition them before buying, I would have bought another product.
Overall I would say, if you want to use these for a small scale setup in a guest room, or spare AV setup that is for the kids, these are great. If you are any kind of even semi-serious audiophile, or a music fan that knows music and enjoys a wide variety of listening, keep shopping.

First, I’m not an audiophile, but I do enjoy excellent sound reproduction. I placed these speakers in a smallish family room (10×20). It’s connected to an old Yamaha receiver. I am greatly impressed with the sound from such small speakers. I previously had Ohm speakers that were 8 years old. The difference is wonderful. My wife and I enjoy classical, world and show music and these speakers have added much to our listening pleasure. And in a somewhat cluttered room they don’t take up much space at all.

I’m a 61 year old guy living in small, round house with a vaulted ceiling with most rooms being open above 7 feet so the ability of a speaker system to spread the sound more or less evenly around the space was of primary importance to me; directional speakers would be a last resort. Based on favorable reviews here I decided to try this with the $500 price, incl shipping, from Crutchfield via Amazon, being the top end of my budget. It has proven to be easy to set up, absolutely very “omni-directional” and fully satisfying my round-room needs, and the sound quality is thrilling and very satisfying to my alert but unsophisticated hearing. The cube-shape (about 12″ per side, on feet to make it 13.5″ tall) of the powered sub-woofer was a bit difficult to place in a hidden location, but probably any decent sub-woofer would be, even if different cubics. I really enjoy this speaker system.

These speakers are installed in our movie theater with our 130″ Projector with Blu-Ray DVD player. They are AWESOME. We’ve had them for 6 months now and no problems at all. GREAT BUY!!!! Strongly Recommended!

Great sound for such a small package. I have a huge room to fill with vautled ceilings and was worried that these speakers/sub wouldn’t cut it. Boy was I wrong. Coupled with the Onkyo TX-SR606 the system more than fills the space for home theater and music. My wife didn’t want a bunch of huge speakers taking up space and being so obvious. The Mirage Nanosat 5.1 speakers and sub fits the bill perfectly. Great sound, almost invisible and excellent price. I highly recommend this setup.
