Te koop aangeboden: een mirage mm-8 subwoofer in uitstekende staat maar helaas defect. Deze compacte, maar krachtige subwoofer levert een indrukwekkende basweergave en is perfect voor het aanvullen va
A functioning Mirage MM-8 would usually sit around the middle of the used market, but at €75 this is clearly below the €114 25th percentile and well under the €139 median. On price alone, that makes it a strong bargain for anyone specifically after a compact sub on a budget.
The upside is the usual Mirage appeal: a small, tidy sub that can add weight and fill-in without dominating a room, especially for modest stereo or home-theater setups. The catch is the “defect” note: at this price it’s only sensible if you want it for repair, parts, or you’ve confirmed the fault is minor and fixable. Ask exactly what’s broken and whether the amp, driver, and cabinet are all present before buying.
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.
