These specs won't tell you which one will sound better. It is best to hear them and then decide.

The one thing that stands out on the specs is that the JBL is down 6db at 100hz. this means if you use an 80hz crossover to the sub the jbl is not going to be the best. This is a small issue it terms of overall sound quality.

Have Fun

You're asking the wrong question. Yes, the frequency response spec of the Mirage is better. It's flatter--3 dB vs. 6 dB--over a wider bandwidth--70-20k vs. 100-20k. But that doesn't mean much in the context of your particular system. What other speakers are you using? What sub? At what frequency is the sub crossed over?

The Mirage looks like a small bookshelf speaker. The JBL looks like a tiny satellite speaker. You're comparing two very different products here. Why are you considering only these two?
