For sale is a very nice sounding pair of Mirage M5si Speakers. I just got in trade from the original owner. Not huge, just too large for my room. Please take this into account if you are interested in them.$600/obo picked up in SoCal.
Google the reviews - they are consistently excellent
such as: http://www.audioreview.com/product/speakers/floorstanding-speakers/mirage-loudspeakers/m5si.html Here's a Stereophile review on their little brothers, the M-7si:

These have a symmetrically bipolar design, like their flagship M1si, and unlike the 7's in the review above. The 5's use a forward firing tweeter, a rearward firing tweeter, a forward firing mid/bass driver, and a rearward firing mid/bass driver. These 5's are superior to the 7's in the review above in every way. Here's a Stereophile review on their bigger sibling, the M-1si:

They work 100% and sound great!
[/b]Cosmetics are really good for their age - I'd give them a critical 7 The Mirage M series of speakers are bipolar with speakers in the front and rear. The M5si can be bi-wired or bi-amped for better clarity and definition. The 5si's use a forward firing tweeter, a rearward firing tweeter, a forward firing mid/bass driver, and a rearward firing mid/bass driver. Original price was $2,000. These are very large and heavy speakers, so shipping isn't really viable.
