| I bought a pair of Mission m73 tower speakers, and will be upgrading my 10-year old Sony receiver, probably to a NAD T742 or Denon AVR-2803. I want to match the Missions when I get the rest of my surround setup, but Missions are nearly impossible to find in the U.S. Are there other brands that would work well with them, or should I suck it up and try to get some Mission speakers from Europe? I'm particularly concerned with the center speaker, because our living room is large and odd-shaped (2 story ceiling, staircase behind the A/V cabinet) and movie dialog can easily be lost. Any thoughts? Thanks, Jim |

Martin B | What about getting your Missions from Canada? Denon is the distributor in Canada and their website ( www.denon.ca) lists distributors some of whom may ship to the US. It would surely be cheaper than getting them from the UK. I also have just bought some m73 for front speakers and have a pair of m71 for surrounds. I'll be picking up the m7c2 as my centre channel in the near future (as soon as my HK AVR-430 arrives). When I was looking around I had a salesman tell me that the Dahlquist centre channels would be a good match for my Missions. I didn't listen to them together so I can't say whether it's true or not. I think the store where I saw them ships to the US (http://www.audioshop.on.ca/dallycentres.htm). I also saw a review at http://www.hometheatersound.com/equipment/dahlquistaudio_system4.htm. |
