yesterday I go to a hi-fi shop in Gurney Plaza. There's one person told me that Mission speaker and probably Klipsch too
are no longer exist as original state. Meaning, all those engineer that come out with great legendary Mission speaker already
left the company and the brand has sold to China owner or something like that. So the speaker now is like oem Panasonic
speaker with no identity and probably sucks too.

So that's why they sell Audio Pro brand as low end speaker.

So is this true? Is Mission/Klipsch speaker sucks? Which one is better:
a) Mission MS10 Subwoofer Speaker
b) Audio Pro B1.40

I also ask the person handling technical matter if he know about SVS and Rythmik. He said he dunno. sad.gif

LOL... biggrin.gif Typical salesperson who do not know much.

You can read here :

http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/about/milestones/

Klipsch and Mission along with many loudspeakers manufacturer including B&W has outsourced most of its production in China. Simple reason : cost.

New York based Audiovox Corp bought major shares in Klipsch Group in 2011. Jamo, Mirage, Energy and Athena are under Klipsch Group.

Will not comment more as I have high respect for John Yew, boss of CMY smile.gif
