Which would be the better buy? Both are close in price at the moment.

How big is your room, do you like it pretty loud? Are you pretty picky about your bass? What does the rest of your gear consist of?


Tell me a little more and I can offer my opinion.

Sorry, room is 2800ft^3 . The louder the better(gotta give the wife something to fuss about :D ), will mainly be used for HT. Receiver is an old Onkyo TX-S454. Fronts are a pair of DCM KX-12's, center is a DCM also(don't remember model number but it's a 6" with tweeter and 6" passive). Rears are a set of even older Altec Lansing 8" bookshelf 3-ways(don't know the model number of these either, but they do have the number 83 on the back of them). Will probably upgrade the receiver to a newer Onkyo 5.1 later down the line.
So your budget is around $400 ? I think a pair of these guys should suit you well...

Specs are better (deeper bass, more power) on the Mirage, but the Velo has DSP modes. I would pick the Mirage
Given the price and performance, I'd probably pick the S12

Ditto. The Mirage will produce a average spl around 7db higher with a bandwidth that is about 5% flatter.
