There are some small scratches and scuffs around the speaker (pictured). However, this subwoofer has been thoroughly inspected by our in house technician and they are in fantastic working order!!:0
At USD129, this Mirage Omni S8 is a solid bargain against the typical used market, where comparable listings hover around USD120-200 in good shape—spot on with a recent Reverb comp at USD127. Original MSRP was about USD350-370, so you're getting a compact 8-inch powered sub with punchy 100W RMS output and that clever Ribbed Elliptical Surround woofer for peanuts, assuming it's functional.
Before biting, fire it up to confirm the amp's not clipping or humming—those Class D-ish units from the era can falter after 15-20 years—and verify the auto-on/off triggers reliably, as power supply caps often go first. Check for the grille, rubber feet, and all inputs intact; no outputs were standard, so don't expect pass-through. Solid entry-level Mirage if it tests clean.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Mirage is a Canadian speaker manufacturer with roots tracing to 1977, when a group of audiophiles founded the company with a singular mission: to create speakers delivering immersive, omnidirectional sound that would make listeners forget they were hearing reproduced audio rather than a live performance. The brand gained prominence through pioneering designs, most notably launching the world's first bipolar speaker, the M-1, which achieved approximately 360-degree sound diffusion throughout a listening room. Famed loudspeaker designer Kevin Voecks created the original Mirage designs, establishing the company's technical credibility from inception.
Throughout the 1980s and beyond, Mirage built its reputation on high-quality, affordably priced two-channel loudspeakers that earned consistent praise in audiophile publications. The company's early success was constrained only by manufacturing capacity, as demand frequently outpaced production. Mirage later expanded its portfolio to include more ambitious designs, including speakers featuring pure titanium hybrid tweeters, cementing its position as an innovator in speaker engineering rather than a manufacturer of ancillary components like amplifiers, DACs, or cables.
Mirage occupies the upper-mid to high-end segment of the speaker market, though its trajectory has been complicated by corporate ownership. Audio Products International, which owned Mirage, was acquired by Klipsch Group in 2006, after which the brand's market presence diminished significantly. However, the Mirage name remains synonymous with 360-degree immersive sound design and continues to represent a distinctive chapter in Canadian audio heritage, particularly among vintage and collector-focused enthusiasts who value its omnipolar design philosophy.
