Are these Speakers the BEST on Planet Earth ?...

I bought those speakers in 1994 for $300. They do not have much bass, etc. but they are really just right. To me.

They received very good reviews....I read a lot about Mission  before buying mine used...

World Series baseball is limited to this world (Earth) and thus apt. Also, an "ultimate" speaker seems ridiculous, although Ultimate Spinach was classic late 60s Boston.

My wife would skin me alive if I brought home something this ugly.

Ultimate Spinach? Far out man. Had to look them up, the "Bosstown Sound"? Were those your formative years?


Kii Audio put on an interesting digital source demonstration at an audio show last year (no subwoofer yet). The advancements and and results that digital signal processing can provide is interesting. In that hotel room some remarked positively about the amount of bass they produced.

My next listen was in the Zesto / Joseph Audio room and was immediately reminded of digititus.

Because eight 7" drivers will not begin to produce the kind of LF that superior SOTA speakers can produce. I'm not only meaning frequency extension, but also quality, texture of the bass. These fall short of the goal on that parameter alone. Whether they are all that as regards mid/treble would have to be heard.

No SOTA experience but I sold a 16lbs Phil Jones C2 2x5" that made my Upright sound great. I'm now using a back packable Upshot with a 10" Bag End Coaxial at just over 12lbs. My Velodyne DD-12 Plus killed the previous DD-18. Just sayin'.
