Mirage M-1si loudspeaker
I only found out <I>after</I> beginning my auditioning of Mirage's M-1si loudspeakers that the film <I>2001, A Space Odyssey</I> was, at practically the same instant, undergoing a brief theatrical revival in major cities around the US. I might have known. Perhaps it was the persistent Strauss melodies that rattled around in my head as I set them up. Perhaps it was the <I>two</I> 5'-tall monoliths that subsequently stared at me as I sat in my listening chair. For whatever reason, the M-1sis were an imposing sight, and the association with out-of-this-world events was not a difficult one to make.
