Mirage NANOSAT 5 System - 5.0-channel home theater speaker system - 2-way
From Klipsch
Tiny but tough, the award-winning Nanosat 5.1 home theater system is unbelievably powerful. Its speakers can be positioned anywhere in a room and still deliver superior imaging smoothness and three dimensionality, making it a best in its class.Consisting of five matching satellite speakers for front, center and surround channels and a subwoofer, this system is a great choice for both music and movie playback.Each satellite utilizes patented Omnipolar technology to disperse sound in a completely immersive 360-degree pattern. In other words, it recreates the experience of a live event. The simple, ingenious, saucer-shaped deflector suspended over the midrange and tweeter, called an Omniguide, makes it possible. It distributes uniform tonal balance for non-oppressive sound, making the entire room the sweet spot.A perfectly matched Nano subwoofer takes music and movie home theater experiences to the next level, delivering rich, crystal clear bass. It features a powerful 8-inch down-firing driver with patented Ribbed Elliptical Surround technology, a design that eliminates surround distortion, enabling the subwoofer to play lower with greater output and fidelity.With a system frequency response of 30Hz to 20KHz, this system works equally well in two channel or home theater mode. All you have to do is connect the system and immerse yourself in the sound you love.

Exactly what I wanted!
This review is actually pasted from my OneCall review of this item.
I use the Nanosats in my 7.1 home theater system. I've had surround sound before, but always felt that I could hear the sound coming from the speaker and not really as a sound happening as part of the movie (or video game). In other words, my attention would usually get focused on the sound as it came from the speakers, not just as something in the area around me. I did some research and read a lot about di/bipolar surrounds. Then I came across some reviews describing omnipolar technology. These speakers send sound in all directions (more in the front than anywhere else). It creates an atmosphere of sound around the listener. After reading some good reviews that described this, I said, "that's exactly what I want!" I don't want to hear the sound as distinctly coming from that speaker over there. I want to be in the movie, in the sound. Surrounded, not just from four distinct points, but actually surrounded. So I decided to try the nanosats. I bought the set of 5 and I use 4 of them as my surround and rear surround speakers. I am truly impressed! We've watched several movies with them on and each time I get lost in the movie. It's pretty incredible. It really does create a field of sound throughout the room. It is as if I'm surrounded by the sound. I would highly recommend these for anyone who watches a lot of movies! I haven't had the chance to listen to a lot of music, but what I have listened to so far, I have enjoyed.
Better then Bose
Great sound. I was a firm Bose man, I've owned the bose 301's, Outdoor, 151's, Center channel and the Double cubes. After replacing my bose double cubes with this package I'll never go back. The sound quality is fantastic and they come with wall mounts. The bose cube mounts cost over $20 a piece. You won't be dissapointed. Save your money.
I love 'em
After a lot of research between bose, Mirage, Definitive technologies, Klipsh (all small speakers), I bought these. Amazon has the best price for these speakers. I assembled my system by buying 5 of these (as a set), then a Polk subwoofer. I use them with my Pioneer Receiver. I have attached my 52inch Samsung TV, Samsung Blu Ray player and a desktop to the receiver. Speakers are awesome. I have a Bose Lifestyle system in my game room. Compared to that, the above system is providing me with far superior sound. Also, I came way under my budget for not buying bose. I'm happy with the sound quality. Just make sure you have good subwoofer!
