Topic: Mission speakers

[marckd1]

dapat yung volare ang kukunin ko instead of m53 but according to sgt mas ok tumunog ang m5. 3k lang ata yung difference nilang dalawa. Kaya nag side by side demo kami ng volare at m53. iba talaga tumunog ang m5, malapad ang mids ang swabe ang highs.

Parehong maganda porma ng 2 but I personally found the M5's looks to be better. The good thing about M5's is that they are good for both music and HT. Sayang out of stock na.

The guy I got my pre-owned M5's from was a tube/ TT based  audiophile with over 250+k in audio equipment, TT pa lang nya 90k na, cable 17k, whew! I thought to myself that time,  if he uses the Missions for his expensive investment, then these speakers must be good.

iba talaga tumunog ang m5, malapad ang mids ang swabe ang highs.

Amen! EXCELLENT SPEAKERS!

I have auditioned B&W 6 series speakers maaaany times. IMHO, the M5's really sound better (my listening taste). B&W's kasi for me are good at lows and mids (and prestige/popularity  , bah, I dont need that), but fail my requirements for highs.

ser matz....

ang mahal nga nung TT nya kung 90K yon...harahrahrahrar

hmmm di ko pa naririnig ang tunog nyang M5 ....pero yung 780SE eh narinig ko na.....ganda tunog non.... sad to say eh out of production na yon....

mga sir, i'm planning to replace may diamond 8's with mission speakers. magkano po ba ang price ng m35? at ano po ang match na center at surround? ok lang po ba sya kung match ko sya sa yammy... ok din po ba m73i, m7c1 at m7ds? SARS na ito... hehehe!

Last time I asked M35's were around 35k. M3C2 center will match it well but they are nowhere to be found. But I saw M35's at Upscale Audio before they renovated.

What yammy model? I wouldnt recommend the big M35 for lower model Yammies, baka manipis ang tunog. I used to own M34's and the difference with using them with an entry level Yammy receiver and a more powerful mid level HK was very big. Ang nipis ng tunog sa Yammy before.

Used to own M7's too and they are great, but hard to find these days, for keeps kasi missions so bihira may nagbebenta.

[MAtZTER]

If you have a budget for an M35, why not go for the mid-level series of Mission, the M5's kahit bookshelf lang (if you have at least a Yammy 1400 or 1500) . They sound much more refined (wow sa clarity) and are excellent in both HT and music.

This way, MALAKI ang difference ng upgrade mo from Wharfe 8's. Baka kasi not that big a difference yung upgrade pag entry level pa din kukunin mo. Think of it, usually the entry level floorstanders cost almost the same as the Mid level bookshelves (true for Mission & MA). And yung refinement, clarity & performance of the mid level is truly    & worth it for me.

It was the only reason I had to sell my M7's, cuz I cant go back listening to it when I also have an M5, medyo malayo & yung M5's lang pinakikinggan ko (na storage tuloy si M7)

Also, I think for now, these mid level U.K. made M5's and Volare series are the only ones available. If you power them well, I am sure you wont regret buying them.

My friend who has very expensive speakers visited my setup and heard my well powered M5's (200w bi-amped). He said he liked them more than his speakers that cost 2x more!  Truly makes me proud to be a Mission owner!

Sir Matz... tama ka dyan, ni-try namin dun sa M72i ko dati yung entry level na Yammy 3xx  something at manipis nga ang tunog.....

for keeps nga itong Missions sa mga gaya kong limited ang budget....unless you have lots of money already, then you will change your perspective and buy a high end system..

Hindi kaya kulang lang sa power thats why hindi maganda lumalabas na tunog sa pandinig nya?

Medyo mahirap nga makahanap nyan bro.  Dinayo ko pa ang m74i ko sa north at m71 at m7c2 sa south para makumpleto lang setup ko na kung tutuusin eh kulang pa rin.  Pero after nun wala kong pinanghinayang kasi talagang laki ng difference sa dati kong speakers.  Hintay hintay ka lang kung gs2 mo talaga ng m7 or magipon ka na lang para makakuha ng m3 or m5.

[Assassin101]

oh well hintay na nga lang ako ng mag bebenta ng m74i. kung wala until end of the year, baka mag m3 na lang ako hehehe pang mid-year bonus. mwahahaha...

[MAtZTER]

Nope. I dont think so. 

[cousin skeeter]

sirs,

magkano ba ngayon M33i and M34i? and who selling them? tnx!

[Assassin101]

i got the chance to audition the m34 and the m52 side by side with the m3c2 and m5c. aesthetically the m52 realy looks great. then we tried playing the demo disk 9 on the m52 and the m5c. wow ganda talaga, sound and clarity spectacular, we also played a classical audio disk and diana krall. it was really superb. para tuloy ayaw ko na audition yun m34 at m3c2  . after that we plugged in the m34 and m3c2, we also demoed the demo disk 9 and the eagle's hell freezes over. it was also great. but compared with the m52 with only one driver, th m52 is still my choice. the only problem now is the WAF . hindi ko nga pinakita sa wife ko yun price na binigay sakin eh. hahaha! i'll try to bring my yammy 650 to the shop, tignan ko kung kaya nya drive ang m34 at m52 at try ko din audition yun m53 na gwapon gwapo. hope you guys can help me decide kasi i'm still a newbie in this hobby and hindi ko alam how to audition correctly and what thing i need to hear when auditioning.

[MAtZTER]

I used the same receiver (Yammy 650) on my M34 last year. Then went for a HK630, you could immediately hear the difference. Mas makapal tumunog yung MIDs compared to the previous setup specially in music, mas may authority sa HT. Iba talaga nagagawa ng well fed/powered floorstander.

Now I am using M52, I dont know if it will sound as good on my old Yammy 650. But judging from my previous experience between 2 different class of receivers, I am not quite sure it will. The mids are the strong point of the M5's & an underpowered mid level speaker having thin MIDs defeats the purpose in HT & specially in music IMO.

But thats just my 2 cents. Dont take my word for it, just audition it & trust your ears

For HT, listen to the mids. The HF is easy to power & I beleieve the M5's will excell at this even with lower powered receivers. The LFE is handled by the sub, so the mids are the best thing to listen to. Bring Jurassic Park DVD's (wag p**ted ), in my M52 setup, the T-REX roar was  w/ these wonderful speakers. You will notice its the mids punching in the syllables of the R-R-R & NOT the sub. Try also Gangs of New York in Demo#8. When the cannons explode (a very demanding scene IMO) & masakit sa tenga, sadly di kaya ng receiver  .

In 2 channel music (pure direct mode) listen for the whole audio spectrum from highs to Lows. The HF & bass of the M5 is much more refined than the the M3's and the mid should be thick (not thin). Actually, when there is music while watching HT, you will suddenly notice the music compared to ur old setup, ang ganda ng music performance ng M5's, even as B/G music lang ng movie. Kahit sa M5ds surrounds pa galing!

[Assassin101]

thanks for you adviced. i'm now decided that i'll be getting the m52 and the m5c. next funding na lang muna un m5ds at next will be the AVR. hehehe. thanks sir matz

Good choice, mas madali i-power ang M52 kesa sa M53. Another recommendation is that you get a power amp from the B/S section (usually less than 10k lang naman sila), instead of buying a new receiver. The Yammy 650 has pre outs so this option is more economical.

that will be the next step, get a power amp. kaya lang nag titingin ako sas B/S section, wala pa ako makita under 10k.

[Assassin101]

i got a pre-owned power amp to help my yammy 650 power the FS. now i can't wait to buy the mission m52 hopefully i can get it by early december. kaya lang ang problem ngayon is, should i go for the m5c or m5ds? my budget is on a constraint. i can't afford to get both surround and the center. which would you recommend i get first?

[chariol]

sir, where can i audition these mission speakers, planning to set up my own ht, so far, i've tried wharfs, mordaunt short , infinity and paradigm.... tnx in advance.

sir, may i ask your orking budget? what receiver are you going to use? audioworld, the home theater carries mission. where are you located sir?

[chariol]

pasig ako sir, for the receiver i was thinking yamaha 659 around 50 plus cguro for the speakers.

[Assassin101]

pasig ako sir, for the receiver i was thinking yamaha 659 around 50 plus cguro for the speakers.

for the 50k, will that be for the speakers only or receiver included?

[MAtZTER]

Recommendation lang chariol, if your budget is 50k for the speakers, better if you go for a higher model receiver, you wont regret the difference in quality. Try Yamaha 1000 series (1500, 1400 or up) or HK340 & up.

[chariol]

50T for the speakers only, how much did you get yours? i'm ok with adding a little for better performance... 5.1 lang ang balak ko. was planning to get the wharfs na... im still researching since di pa tapos home theater room... any recommendations if il get a receiver with hdmi? ty!

[MAtZTER]

Does 50k include the sub or only the 5 speakers?

Kasi at 50k for 5 speakers only, you could get very good quality mid level speakers already. These are best matched with same quality/level electronics like 30k up receivers. My advice is not to skimp on receivers if you want the best HT experience. Malayo na tunog ng mga 50k receivers sa 20k receivers.

Recommended ang Mission M5's, with good amplification, high end na high end tunog ng HT mo.

[Assassin101]

for 50k you'll get the m52 and the m5c.
