Good Points

Attractive, fairly compact floorstanding speaker. Fairly smooth treble response - extremely polite and non fatigueing sound, however,,,,.


Bad Points

Definately, not hi-fi speakers. Extremely large, ponderous and out of proportion bass.


General Comments

Bought the Mission M73 speakers as a stop gap after selling a pair of MS20i pearl stand mount speakers. What can I say,,,foolishly purchased these speakers on hi-fi magazine recommendation only - will never do that again ! How do they sound ? well extremely large and out of proportion in the bass. I'm using them in a Cyrus pre/power set up with Marantz cd6000ki cd player (superb by the way) There is no bass control with this speaker, even when set at 2.5 feet from the rear wall. The bass colours and cancells out the sweet and detailed midrange and the treble just does not have enough bite or realism. These speakers may work as fronts in a home cinema set up, but please take extreme care if only to be used in a hi-fi set up.

    I cant help but question why on earth you went for them anyway? you obviously would, or should have known , that by comparison to the Ki and the cyrus gear, they would be totally outclassed.

    I bought a home cinema system in 2001, with the Mission M73 speakers as fronts, and I totally agree. They are OK for digital films, but they are poor for stereo music. My wife won't let me change them, so I have to listen to music upstairs on my old system, which was much better!!

    Never buy hi-fi equipment without comparing it in a good shop.
