Alan:

You are absolutely right when you say Klipsch has virtually destroyed the "Mirage" brand. It is now down to a few speakers and basically HTIB.

When I look in the recent past with Mirage's great innovations especially with the "bipolar" and "omnipolar" designs and now they have pretty much disappeared.

In recent years, this is so typical of a larger organization buying another to "allegedly" take advantage of its innovations and different product line and yet, in many cases, they forget why they bought it and end up virtually dismantling the whole thing!

It NEVER makes any sense to me. What was the point of spending all that money?

I guess just to eliminate a competitor.
