Price Paid:  $450.00 from ebay

Summary:
Actually a pair of 2008 model speakers. Not 2006. The Mission E54 Esprit loudspeakers represent one of the best STEALS today! These are tough to get. Very few outlets in the US have them. They are a British and European speaker......and sound like with there requisite "british" house sound. Prices in the UK, Poland, new Zealand etc. run anywhere from $1900.00 US to $2400.00 US. I got them on EBAY for $450.00 brand new.......thus the steal of the century! Highly regarded in the UK and EU these loudspeakers command the price they do because they are that good. Very tight sound........long break in time......lack of low bass........typical for the Brit's but have a midrange and high section to die for! If you get a chance to get these on ebay........do not hesitate......mine came in beautiful piano black! BUY THESE! prepare for a long break in, and then just enjoy! Add a sub if you must.
