Benefits Includes 4 matching satellites and a center channel Recommended Prestige S10 or S8 subwoofer sold separately Small, versatile package unobtrusively fits any lifestyle Delivers enveloping 360º music and movie performances from any position Stunning design with high-gloss black lacquer finish Magnetically shielded to avoid TV interference Detailed Description - Small Size, Big Impact Whether you’re listening to mellow music or watching an action-packed flick, our compact Nanosat Prestige 5 home theater system, with its modern materials and unique miniature technology, brings your entertainment full circle. Each satellite employs a powerful 2.75-inch titanium deposit polypropylene cone woofer for amazing bass performance and a 0.75-inch pure titanium hybrid tweeter for warm, rich high frequencies. The center channel utilizes a 3-inch polypropylene woofer and a 0.75-inch dome tweeter for balanced, full-bodied sound playback. But what really separates this system from the rest is a patented Omniguide module, an ingenious design that involves two deflectors, employed on all four satellites as well as the center channel. While one deflector rests on top of each speaker’s tweeter, the tweeter itself is housed in a deflector, suspended over the woofer. These combined elements distribute sound directly towards the listener, as well as reflect it off walls, ceilings and other surfaces—resulting in a perfect 360º soundstage. More importantly, you’ll hear the same enveloping performances from anywhere in your room. For increased low-frequency bass response, we recommend pairing the Prestige 5 up with an optional Prestige S10 or S8 subwoofer, so you can hear and feel dynamic music and movie content. The Science Behind the Mirage Sound: Exclusive Mirage Technologies Omnipolar® Sound Our Omnipolar approach to speaker design brings unprecedented performance to a variety of product sizes and room positions. This 360º sound philosophy works with your room, rather than against it, to create the proper proportion of direct and reflected sound. Being Omnipolar means our speakers embrace and optimize reflections; offer excellent imaging, width and depth; and perform optimally regardless of where they are placed in a room. In other words, they take full advantage of the fact they cannot be separated from your room. You get a completely immersive experience that permeates evenly throughout your entire listening environment. Omniguide Technology Our patented Omniguide module (patent #6,996,243), also the heart of Omnipolar sound, is an ingenious design that involves two deflectors. While one small deflector rests on top of the speaker’s tweeter, the tweeter itself is housed in a larger deflector, suspended over the midrange or woofer, depending on the design. The module disperses sound the way the ear and brain are accustomed to receiving it. Thirty percent of what our speakers deliver is direct sound. The other seventy percent is sound reflected off walls, ceilings, floors and other surfaces for a completely immersive, 360º experience. So, no matter where you sit, the enveloping sound follows. What’s in the box? (1) Nano CC Center Speaker - Quite the entertainer, our unobtrusive Nano CC center channel dynamically reveals layers of detail—from delicate whispers to subtle nuances—other speakers often leave behind. (4) Nanosat® Prestige Bookshelf Speaker - With its sophisticated looks and engaging personality, our Nanosat® Prestige satellite is everything you could ever want in a speaker. It delivers immense music and movie performances from a tiny, contemporary cabinet that blends in beautifully with your décor—and lifestyle. What the experts are saying about the Nanosat® CC… “Mirage’s Nanosat Prestige home theater system has a lot going for it. Topping my list are its wonderfully sweet treble, and excellent surround envelopment—traits that you just don’t expect from a system with such tiny speakers. And all this from a system that costs only $1400.” -- AV Guide, Vince Hanada (December, 2008) 2008 Tech Home Mark of Excellence Award (March, 2008) The Perfect Vision Editor's Choice Award 2007 (August, 2007) Electronic House Product of the Year 2006 (August, 2006)

Great sound from small speakers of the PT Cruiser I bought these speakers for my home theater system consisting of Yamaha RX-V663BL 665 Watt 7.1-channel home theater receiver and Velodyne DEQ-10R 10-inch Subwoofer (Black) I had no floor space large speakers for the many doors and other furniture in the room, but was afraid that these speakers would not be powerful enough for our living room / kitchen combination form. It's like a double room on one side and kitchen on the second, which covers about 42 x 24 meters. There are many windows and doors, a one page that makes the room an acoustic nightmare. We have the rear speakers are placed about halfway back, the length of the room. But I should not worry because these speakers do a fantastic job, despite its small size. I bought Mirage MS-STB-1 Nanosat speakers are black for the front and the rear to the wall with brackets that hung on the first night we installed the entire system, including, I realized I bought the wrong Y-connector to the subwoofer to connect my receiver, we had to watch a movie without him. The sound from these speakers is very good, even without a subwoofer. Compared with Bose satellite speakers I had before, they were much better. I realized why I could not hear because the volume is too low and we only had audio of what is said in the movies, but because the sound was not as sharp as it is with these speakers. I could turn the sound down and still hear the conversation. The sound was also great when we have the volume. There was a movie with a plane passing through the screen and my sister was upstairs and said it looked like the plane was going across the room, under the floor, said he could feel the vibration of the floor . (This was the next day with a subwoofer is connected). The sound was surprisingly realistic. There was a scene in the film where it has opened a door at the bottom left where the speaker is moved. The door looked like the door of our family room and I was surprised, because I thought someone had opened the door. These speakers really make you feel like you're in the middle of the film and not just watching. With the old Bose system (which I thought looked great at the moment) I'd like to hear the sound from the speakers, most of the time. With these Mirage speakers, the sound is right there, in appropriate places. I finally know what real "surround" sounds like. Two thumbs up for these speakers. What this may sound great acoustic nightmare of a room has to be good eight out of 10 people found the following review helpful. The disappointment A. Raza I bought this set of columns from the Amazon Marketplace in May 2009 and connected to my Denon receiver. Certainly gave a better performance compared to my old Sony (a set of cheap) speakers. However, in November, the center speaker started to sound muffled. I could barely hear the dialogue from the film Blue Thunder. I contacted the sellers and they sent me to the manufacturers. My experience with them was not very nice. Manufacturers eventually referred me to a service center contractors who were very unprofessional. The bottom line is that after paying more than $ 700 on a set of speakers, we get a quality performance. Manufacturers should improve the quality of its products and services. 3 of 3 people found this review helpful. Great speakers! By Paul J. Asaro These speakers are very .. I have it at Best Buy 50% discount. I think its worth $ 460 for the price. But at full price ($ 900 +) I probably would not go with this considering buying a separate subwoofer (another $ 360). In this case I would go with final Technologies ProCinema 600th The.
