Review 3 of 51

Price Paid:  $100.00 from Richer sounds

Summary:
These speakers are fine if all you listen to in songs is the catchy corus of most pop songs these days, I found the bass lacking in detail almost blurring the rest of the music and they have the ability to start "clipping" at any given moment. Shame because i found the mid range quite "sweet" given that they were designed for our "youth" then perhaps a bad purchace by myself.

Strengths:
cost good at low levels (volume) "sweet midrange"

Weaknesses:
bass way too monotone and over blown limited dynamic ability sometimes quite hard edged

Similar Products Used:
i found Tangent monitor 5's much better.

Summary:
I found the Mission 701's very good all round speakers and i would definitely recommend them to a beginner in Hi-Fi seperates due to there cheap price.

Strengths:
Powerfull bass for bookshelf speakers and great midrange.

Weaknesses:
The front on these speakers DO come loose so be carefull not to have the bass up to high.

Best Floorstanding Speakers Under $1000

So many to choose from! Lets us boil it down. How to Choose a Floorstanding Speaker that fits you:

AudioREVIEW's Budget Audiophile Holiday Guide

Give someone the gift of hi-fi. Or make the step yourself. Let us point the way...

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

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.
