Description Features Crutchfield Hands-on Research Accessories
 

Mirage's sleek NANOSAT speaker system surrounds you with high-impact home theatre sound. Five compact satellites and a subwoofer combine to create gorgeous, full-bodied audio with an impressively big, spacious soundfield. Experience realistic imaging — hear the exact location of an engine rumbling off-screen, or the splash of individual raindrops in an enveloping thunder storm. This system's elegant good looks make it a great addition to any room.

Innovative design for expansive, lifelike sound
The key to the NANOSAT system's open, true-to-life sound is Mirage's exclusive OMNIPOLAR™ technology. Each speaker disperses sound evenly in a 360° pattern, thanks to the saucer-shaped OMNIGUIDE mounted above its drivers. The result: a deeper, wider, taller soundstage that transforms your entire listening space into a "sweet spot." Mirage's approach delivers a combination of direct and reflected sound that's more like what we hear in real life. And you won't have to anchor yourself to one prime seat — you'll experience warm, natural audio throughout the room.

The subwoofer also boasts high-performance innovations. Its patented driver design allows the woofer to move faster and with greater precision, giving you consistently clean, distortion-free bass.

Out-of-the-way placement options
Mirage's OMNIPOLAR design gives you lots of placement flexibility. The tiny satellites can sit comfortably on shelves or tables, or you can mount them on the wall using the included hardware. Because of the way they radiate sound, they're more forgiving than direct-firing speakers. For example, you can place the satellites high up near the ceiling for a cleaner look. Tuck the subwoofer away behind the couch or under an end table to reduce room clutter.

If you have a six- or seven-channel home theatre receiver, you can add one or two additional satellites for even more engaging surround sound.

perfect October 20, 2008
Reviewer: Garthdaniel from Charlotte, N  
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 September 12, 2008
Reviewer: Giakog from NY NY  
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 August 9, 2008
Reviewer: Eric from Chicago, IL  
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 July 3, 2008
Reviewer: Steven from San Francisco, CA  
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 May 8, 2008
Reviewer: Annelisa from Portland, OR  
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.
