I fail to see how these speakers can be more or less directional than everything else. In the end, it all boils down to phase-amplitude distribution across the diaphragm; apply Fourier transform to that and you'll get directional characteristic on the given frequency.

Nicely said ALEGR! However, what does it mean?

alegr... your comments show how little you know. Have you ever listened to these speakers? I didn't think so. Well, I had the previous generation Mirage speaker system, which shares the exact same patented way of dispersing the sound, and it works in spades. The soundstage is unbelievably huge, bigger than my current speakers...and it is largely because of the design. Phase amplitude is just bunk.

We first heard these a week ago at a Klipsch demonstration in Seattle and they sounded incredible. Klipsch speakers are more directional and in your face, the MX's are less directional, but give you a better imaging than any small or large speaker I have heard. Add to it the cube subwoofer, which put out better bass than most of the larger subs without being all muddy, this is perfect for apartments, condos, and dorm rooms. Lower volumes don't lose quality, and you can pretty much hide them anywhere. Plus not being a large "in your face" type of speaker, women will appreciate it more and be more likely to purchase, which in most relationships, the women end up with the final say so.
As opposed to the other Mirage lines, the MX will only be sold by authorized Mirage/Klipsch dealers, not via standard distributors.

About The Audiophiliac

Ex movie theater projectionist Steve Guttenberg has more or less successfully hitched his future to home theater, but he still pines for the clickity-clack of 35 MM projectors and all the stale popcorn he could eat. Between projectionist gigs he worked as a high-end audio salesman for sixteen years, and produced records for an audiophile label. Oh, and one more thing, nothing annoys Steve more than being confused with the other Steve Guttenberg, the washed-up Police Academy actor. The wordsmith Guttenberg is a frequent contributor to a number of magazines and websites including Home Entertainment, Playback, and Ultimate AV. He is a member of the CNET Blog Network and is not an employee of CNET. Disclosure.
