Review 3 of 9

Price Paid:  $100.00

Summary:
Well, I was in need of a good Center Channel speaker, when my uncle told me about the Mission 70cc2. I never even heard of the brand and I was like well, ok, I will give it a try. Well, I picked it up from the store and hooked it up. When I turned on the receiver I was in awe, because the sound this thing put out was really amazing. It had amazingly smooth sound. The vocals were natural sounding and everything just sounded good. I had a Yamaha RV-905 at the time and it was great, but now that I have a DENON AVR-1801, it sounds even better. I had an old sony center and when I got sick of the sound, I decided to upgrade and look around. I am glad I got this center, cause everything is sounding great. It is a bit bigger than other centers around, but I found room for it.

Strengths:
Clarity, Realistic vocals, Smooth sound, banana terminals.

Weaknesses:
None.

Review 4 of 9

Summary:
I can not state that I can give a comparative review, since I didn't listen to any other centre speakers when I was purchasing. My girlfriend's Dad has a Paradigm centre channel - I much prefer my Mission centre channel.

I have 702's in the front and wanted the tonal balance to match and I was quite impressed with my 702's so I wasn't concerned. Of course I listened to them when I purchased and was easily as impressed with the 70c2 as I was with the 702's. I certainly wouldn't purchase without listening.

It brings a very realistic representation of vocals and can belt out bass, which is nice, I can localize low frequencies fairly well and do notice a difference. I've heard quite a few different setups and this is the closest it has felt to "being there". I especially noticed in the accident scene in "What Dreams May Come".

Since buying the 70c2 I have also purchased 701's and stuck them as the rears and I'm stunned with the performance this setup gives me (including and excluding the costs, which are low). I'd reccommend anyone that looking is looking for low cost musical system with good dynamics that also stuns you in home theatre. I would definately look at Mission 700 series.

Strengths:
Clarity, smoothness, realistic representation of vocals. nice tonal balance.

Weaknesses:
none that I have found.

Review 5 of 9

Summary:
As with other reviewers I have gone for the Mission homw theatre set up. I have 702e floor standing speakers with 700 bookshelf rears and the 70c2 centre channel. I do not believe that you can get better value home theatre system. It has opened up a whole new movie experience for me, the centre channel is smooth and crystal clear, and I agree with everything that 'Bret' says in his review. It makes mediocre movies like 'The Mummy' a memorable experience. It seems to handle the dynamics of these action movies perfectly without having to keep the volume control in your hand.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
