Ricred--I know the Mirage M1 well! Most of the problems with that design centered, I feel, around the generous bottom end. It had lots of output but little definition. I understand what you're saying about imaging--it's considered perhaps a weakness of bipolar design--but in this regard I thought the M1 did very well. Image specificity seemed quite good to me. Go figure. Anyway, I appreciate your response.

Jaxwired: a short, but brilliant, analysis!

Interesting. Thanks for the response. What, specifically, were you unhappy with about the F208? I'm thinking about buying a pair for my second system so the more detail you can provide, the better.

"I tried to convince myself that I liked a speaker because of how much it cost, as opposed to how it sounds."

Okay, so you moved from a more expensive speaker (the Sasha) to a less expensive speaker (the F208). But then you repeat the mistake you made originally by moving from a less expensive speaker (the F208) to a more expensive speaker (the 7T).

Why?

You seem to flounder in this hobby more than most.
