Mission 750LE

If you've never listened to high quality speakers before, these little guys will amaze you. The Mission 750LE do precisely what they are intended to, providing good soundstaging and imaging in a small package. With live recordings they sound fantastic. High frequencies are somewhat rolled off, but this isn't too much of a concern for me, since overpronounced treble gives me listener fatigue. A subwoofer will fill out the low bass that their small size is not adequate for. I had a choice between Mission's M73's (tower) or the 750's. Since I am low on space, my decision was to get 750's + sub. They aren't comparable with speakers in the > 1000$ category, but then, I got them for 300$. When released, cost was ~700$ (Canadian dollars). Mission has since replaced these speakers with a new model, the 780's. In my opinion, the 750's are a little nicer. However, if you can pick up a set of 750's somewhere, you will be laughing all the way home. You should be able to get them for a real deal like I did, and there isn't a set of speakers at that price which will compare.
