Mirage was a serious speaker company, it originated in Scarborough Canada because a local university there had built a world class anechoic chamber (jointly funded by Canada and the US DOD...mostly for submarine research). They made increasingly sophisticated bipolar speakers and then explored the omnidirectional concept which results in largely eliminating the need to stay in a fixed 'sweet spot' to obtain a coherent image. They also made a range of traditional box speakers under the Energy brand. As high end audio's market began to shrink, like many others they were forced to move production to China, and then they were gobbled up by Klipsch. In the end even this consolidation didn't save them, Klipsch collapsed last year and it's remains were bought by, god help us, the renamed Audiovox company, which has killed 90% of the brands. The quality and imaging of their omnidirectional designs is all out of proportion to their size, though for full range you must add a subwoofer to these. As is they are perfect surround speakers, especially for those who want good sound in something small and inconspicuous. Since they image "above" their placement you can either keep them at table height or invert them and hang at wall/ceiling junction so they image below that level.
These are not box speakers, shape is hard to describe...look at the pix.

This is brand new stock, Woot bought what's probably the last of these and is selling them via Amazon. The amount of quality sound these produce is all out of proportion to their size.
$140 for a pair.
As you might guess, I own quite of few Mirage speakers, you will not be disappointed in these.
