The first speaker that really impressed me was the Mission 760i, nothing amazing to look at or high up in their range but really coherent sounding, and I was only driving them with a little Technics Micro system.
Previous to that I had B&W 603's I think it was, they were great but didn't really do much for me, driven by a nice Denon integrated.
The Mission 760i spec sheet also doesn't seem terribly impressive:
Enclosure Type: 2 way bass reflex
Drivers: 1 x 130mm bass/midrange | 1 x 19mm dome tweeter
Frequency response: 70Hz to 20kHz ?2.5dB
Nominal Impedance: 6 Ohms
Sensitivity: 89dB
Recommended amplifier: 25 to 75 watts
They don't go low, they seem rather inefficient and I was driving them with a puny amp and one of the things that really caught my ear was their beautiful bass!
What makes these speakers sound so good?
