NHT 3.3 vs Mirage M3si


Assuming similar price and physical condition, which speaker would you choose given:

1. Listening area: 1400 sq ft carpeted basement area, speaker location will be adjacent to brick wall. listening will be enjoyed from seated position central to speaker focal point, but will also be appreciated as ambient sound throughout the location.

2. Preferred music: is diverse, from rock to jazz to classical. Hard hitting bass is appreciated, but so is a great sounding tenor saxophone or violin.

3. Current setup: Adcom 5800 amp (2 x 250wpc @ 8ohm), matching adcom pre amp, adcom cd player

4. House contains small children and I am slightly concerned about one of them toppling a mirage m3si due to its seeming high center of gravity and narrow foot print.

Please let me know your thoughts, as i would like to have context from you knowledgeable and experienced folk as i will have limited audition time and in listening areas that are quite different from mine.

Thank you!

Go with the Mirage M3Si, These speakers Disappear and all you get is a huge wall of sound with great depth and definition. I use to own the 1st series M3's and I loved them even more after I sold them (wife). I kept them for 10 years. Never have I heard music presented so well and with such SLAM, delicacy, detailed, beautiful sound. Mirage designs these speakers to have the grills left on, So if you like to take them off THAT could be a deciding factor. You cannot easily remove them either. So make sure the pair you buy has excellent looking front and rear grills. Never heard the NHT Sorry. Regards,
