I have the mirage system with a Denon receiver. The surround sound is amazing. This system is exactly what I want for the money. I might replace the subwoofer later on but otherwise a great start.

Can't be beat for the price |

I am very pleased with my purchase. I was prepared to purchase these at the 799.99 price and when the price dropped it really is a no brainer. Mirage have been around a long time and have produced quality speakers. So I knew I was getting a reputable product. I had a setup which I loved dearly. The sound quality can't be expected to be matched by a sub compact system such as this, but that being said it is very good. Even better than expected. My wife deemed the VT2's too big and not needed and after two years of nagging I broke down and got the Mirage Nanostats. The sound quality is very good for music and movies. Have watched FF4, Spiderman 3 Every Starwars, the imaging is great. Thundering booms and crashes, clarity of glass breaking all around me. All types of Music from Jack Johnson to 50 Cent. Very pleased. You need the subwoofer though. To listen to anything without the subwoofer is just lacking. I plugged the sub into a switched outlet on my Onkyo receiver and it turns on and off with the system. I also like that the brackets to hang them are included and I like that they can be mounted close to the ceiling to hide them from view. If you hang them above 6" you need to hang them upside down which is nice and the screens are held on with strong magnets. I have listened to the 1300.00 Bose systems and they don't even come close. They sound flat and not lively. Save your money and get the Mirage system. Such a better system for half the price.

Great Sound and Value |

I chose the Mirage Nanosat speaker system primarily for the compact size, and so far I am very pleased with the overall sound quality.
If I had to nit-pick, the center channel sounds a bit 'thin', which I guess should be expected from the compact speaker size. However, I am not bothered enough yet to spend another $200+ to substitute my center Nanosat with a stand-alone Mirage Nano CC Center channel speaker.
Overall, the system is a great value, and I would buy these again.

Questionable subwoofer quality |

The low rating is based on the defective subwoofer I received in this package deal. It seems to be a "special" model subwoofer just for this set. The one I received produced a loud "buzz" even with no input signal. To their credit, Crutchfield was very friendly, but I still needed to ship the big, heavy subwoofer to one of the Mirage service centers at my cost. Both of the service centers in CA were reluctant to take any subwoofer by mail, but finally reluctantly agreed if I double-box the thing and don't use USPS.
On a related topic, the stands sold for these speakers don't fit as shipped. You need to drill out one of the tapped holes - buy then and you'll see what I mean.
Two hits against Mirage.
On the positive side, the satellite speakers sound pretty good. Kind of tinny without the subwoofer - we'll see how they sound once I have a working subwoofer.
In short, beware - it's a hassle dealing with a massive subwoofer, and so far I haven't been impressed with Mirage quality control.

Great system |

Great speakers and sub system for the price! I have it hooked up to my Onkyo 7.1 Home Theater Receiver and it sounds great. I was a little concerned about any type of system since I was using it in a large open room with a vaulted ceiling but I have been very happy with the sound quality I am getting. I am completely satisfied with my purchase! The Crutchfield team was very helpful and my items arrived on time as promised.
