Good Points

smooth even sound

Bad Points

treble may not be in your face enough for some but well balanced base is well reproduced but some may require the next modle up with the extra driver for base you can almost chew.

General Comments

These floorstanders give a smooth even sound which works well with most music types Holsts planets (mars in particular) sounds great with depth and space all the instruments are well placed the balance is smooth but dosen't lack attack when required . They have a fantastic soundstage and great scale that will fill many rooms although they like to be well away from walls. They can be base loaded and are bi-wireable which brings on a new dimension to there sound. The treble is not as up front and in your face as some speakers but is still informative and makes a good all rounder that is equally at home with dance classical and rock. Queens Another one bites the dust really shines the sound is big and the base is just right not over the top and boomy but will probably sound even better base loaded and could make the treble a little sharper as yet I havent tested them loaded but will update you when I have. Their scale of sound should please many and are an exellent buy for their money available in three finishes beech rosewood and blackand rated to run with amps from 25 rms to 100 rms and at 89db sensetivity. I tested them with the new £800 arcam amp and their entry level CD player which really brought them to life. I had previousley listend to some Roksan rok ones on this system which where very up front in the treble department which was great at first but maybe not after continued daily listening may prove tiring and not to every ones tast. These worked well at low volume but became coloured as the sound was cranked up and the base became more distant, Ideal if you are limited to not giving your speakers to much welly.Any way give the Missions an Audition and see what you think at around £400 they are a great upgrade for many sytems from a company that understands how to make music sound great. www.mission-group.com for more information
