Mission M71 Bookshelf speakers

Kamakazie! · 9 Aug 2006 at 14:53

I have looked around for reviews as i have seen these second hand. I was wondering if they are really a good as i have read?
How do they compare now days?
Would i be better spending double to get the M31i's or a bit more and getting the M30's or even something from Mourdant Short or Wharfdale?

No AMP to pair them with as of yet (prolly go for a Denon or Yamaha if i can find a good one s/h) but have just got a Mourdant Short MS308 sub.

thanks for the replies guys.
bit annoyed now though, they were a good price but i have measured up and they won't fit on my shelves! They are too tall so i am gonna have to go for something more compact like the M30i/M31i or the Mordaunt Short 302's.

i just seen these for 35 delivered, would they be good for linking up for a dvd player and using as the speakers for my room?.

thats cheaper than i've seen them s/h!!
Joey i would ask Eliot (so long as they are not a competitor) as the ones i saw were gonna be £50 del. (though you can haggle that down no doubt) off of someone on AVForums.

As for linking to a DVD player, you will probably need an amp/reciever to drive them, i doubt any DVD player will have the right connections to directly connect the speakers up.
