Mission 780 good value?

Hi,

I'm looking for a pair or small bookshelf speakers or mini-monitors for my bedroom. The shortlisted speakers include Axiom M2i, Mission 780 and NHT SB-1. Due to the small space avalilable as well as the impracticality of positioning the speakers for "pure" listening, I have to either use them as near-field monitors or literally put them in the corners of the room on stands or bookshelves.

My taste in music runs the whole gamut, so there's really no one genre which I particularly like.

Room size:

15 x 12 ft

Amplifier:

NAD C 350

CD Player:

NAD C 540

I am interested in reading opinions on the Mission 780. It seems that they are pretty solid performers but are very little known on the Net.

Advice about other speakers and stuff always welcome too.

Thanks.

Lau

I'm not positive if this is still the case, but most Mission speakers used to be front-ported and designed to be placed 8" from the rear wall. That could be an advantage in near wall or corner placement.

That said, all will sound different and it really all comes down to system symmetry and your own personal tastes. It's best to try in home auditions if you can. Axiom offers 30 day trials. Try to find a dealer that will let you do the same with the Missions or NHTs.
