Local AV shop usually gets in speakers that are of good interest and today they had these in, the missions the guy said would go on sale for around £100 ish next week whilst the B&W are on sale now for £30 the pair, there is no damages to the missions but the B&W tweeters are kind of caved in, something a quick close shave with the hoover hose should be able to fix easily though.

I'm interested in the missions as my current JPW towers are the same rating but are black and I'd like some wood coloured ones to match my rooms flooring.

Thanks for the post! Sympathetic though :o, my amps perfectly matched to drive them (100wpc @ 8ohms) well pretty much the same as what I'm running now (minus 2 ohms for current speakers) but I would prefer the beach missions as it would go well with my room, both are biwirable so that's not an issue, just will ened to get some new cabling. Amp does get pretty hot with set A turned on so will be interesting to see if it increases more with both A and B on :eek:

Reckon the best way to see if I prefer them to what I have now is to take my amp to the store to test the speakers on? not sure they will allow this but they should do, I looked around their store and they didn't have anything half decent enough to drive either set of speakers.

If I get the B&W though I can allways use them elsewhere or as a quad setup and if what Baf says is true then they are a bit of a bargain, maybe a profit maker if I can sort the tweeter cones out!
