QUOTE(ktek @ Dec 13 2018, 05:09 PM) thanks bro.. its wierd to see mission launching these entry level. the worse part is the website doesnt even have the detail for speaker specQUOTE(gunplakk @ Dec 13 2018, 05:44 PM) in my opinion the VX are not very good... but depending on what you plan to do with them... if u are using them for home theater... then it should be ok.... coz u dont need a good level clarity. but if you are doing 2 channel audio and trying to play hi-res flac files... i would recommend looking else where. the older stuff are better. u are probably better off looking for similar budgets from 2nd hand market. i use for both home theater and music on pure direct mode. Yea u r right i am looking from CMY. Looks like a bargain to me but...Are you looking at the Vx offers from CMY? its a good price for new speakers, that much i can say. QUOTE(voscar @ Dec 13 2018, 10:00 PM) To be honest, not so good, you can compare my mission VX2 and small Denon Mission, but my phone recording isn't so good... i dont really trust review over recording bro... but you did a great side by side comparison.. its pretty obvious has higher open high.. Mission VX2 Denon Mission The VX2 definitely missed out audiophile detail when I play Stacey Kent: So Nice, the background sounds very thin and not as good as some YouTube ppl's older mission |

QUOTE(voscar @ Dec 14 2018, 12:05 AM) You looking for bookshelf speaker or floor standing speaker? I found Singapore Carousell there selling those LX-2 which got praised by what hifi and few others, the after conversion rate seems another extra 100 bucks more than local VX2 only. Maybe a trip to Singapore for better speaker? That would be diehard Mission Fan's mission. Haha i m actually looking for an upgrade over my old chap ayam 5.1 speakers. singapore is pretty close but i scare custom cari pasalThis post has been edited by kevinlim001: Dec 14 2018, 12:31 AM |

QUOTE(voscar @ Dec 26 2018, 07:55 PM) just found mission 753 floorstander macam legacy mission model, highly praised by what hi-fi during 1990s.. i am looking at the review that i capture from hifi-review.comwhat amplifier you all used to push that mission? many review saying this speaker were sensitive with amplifier pairing? is it require over 100W/channel to push it? need standalone pre + power amp? QUOTE A nominal 8 Ohms impedance is claimed, though the measured curve suggests 6 Ohms as more realistic, but in any event this is not a particularly awkward load and should present no difficult y to any ha lf-respecting amplifier rated at between 25 and 150 Watts (per channel into 8 Ohms), which is what the literature suggests as compatible. Sensitivity is good at 90dB/Watt/metre. 25 to 150 watts.. a normal avr should be enough if its not running at 7.1. Sensitivity is 90dB. From paper its not a monster that is difficult to be pushed. Looks pretty ok |

QUOTE(ktek @ Dec 27 2018, 10:48 AM) we are same but no atmos + no preout.. a bit like last gen avr d now.. even it support for 4kheavvy cabinet 20kg++ each side. the efficiency is fine to use with small & medium size amp. last time im able run loudly with marantz mini series class d about 50w per channel. im not sure was it room or speaker age itself, the bass is less satisfying compared to newer gen floorstand speaker |

QUOTE(ktek @ Dec 27 2018, 11:33 AM) atmos need room renovation ady. haha play 5.1 or 7.1 enough. audyssey can enable dsx or prologic2 z the fake atmos maa. front height channel QUOTE(ktek @ Dec 27 2018, 11:33 AM) atmos need room renovation ady. haha tak payah boleh buat reflection a play 5.1 or 7.1 enough. audyssey can enable dsx or prologic2 z the fake atmos maa. front height channel ![]() there are two types of atmos setup: 1) install ceiling speakers 2) change to reflection speaker or buy reflection speaker to put on top of the ur current front i had tried reflection speaker last weekend.. the result pretty good.. but pricing of cos not going to be cheap as well.. the cheapest way is to buy a atmos enabled speaker and put on top of ur existing front for 5.1.2 or 7.1.2 and rear (if you want to) for 5.1.4 or 7.1.4 but sad case x2000 doesnt support atmos front height susah sikit too close to front channel.. hard to differentiate if front standing or front height |

QUOTE(voscar @ Dec 27 2018, 12:07 PM) On paper looks ok and efficiency seems high, but many said no bass, bad sound when paired with small sized amp. not sure if can do bi-amp if bi-amp might improve if the speaker got potential.BTW, you bought Mission floor stander already? What model you bought? plan change my friend.. after i read some review and comment here.. decided not to go with the entry level of mission.. the budget i concerntrate to change the center first.. improve vocal clarify over movies.. slowly change only i will think of changing front tower. |

QUOTE(QiW @ Dec 28 2018, 01:54 AM) the 753s are not bass monsters despite them being floorstanders .. how many speaker u connecting to it? Mind to share your cross over for the front?turn the volume up a little and u get pretty satisfying tight low ends ... not the earthquake u would expect la currently powered by a 80w/channel yamaha av amp .. more than sufficient volume to disturb the neighbours for those more ground moving stuff i have a 10 inch sub |

QUOTE(QiW @ Dec 28 2018, 09:09 AM) dont understand what u meant by crossover 5 speakers currently powered by the amp .. 2 x 753 ... 2 x small bookshelf ... center is a small one too sub is an active 300w 10 inch ![]() not sure if you have a GUI similar like below. The setting of 80hz for center is the cross over setting for center. I m more familiar to audessey but i believe yahama should have something similar for your ypao |

QUOTE(QiW @ Dec 28 2018, 09:17 AM) no idea .. i use the analogue dial behind the sub to adjust very rare kind of setup.. the normal 1 i see is to have full signal to subwoofer and from subwoofer pass back mid n high freq to mains. if just by looking at the dial positiion and numbers .. i would guess around 50-60 hz sub gets input signal via main speakers connection ... not sub out from amp sub out controls in amp is set to NOT USE so all bass signal in the system gets passed to main speakers In your case i think the setup from amp is to have full range to be send to your main where low freq will be pass back to sub. |

QUOTE(QiW @ Dec 28 2018, 09:29 AM) i just let the yamaha do whatever settings it needs to do i think you still can explore more with the crossover setting if you want to.. i will improve your current setup too.. even my audessey does the reading.. i will still adjust the level, speeaker size and crossover myself for some minor tuning.i just set the speakers sizes and do the setup using YPAO the yamaha amp used is below par for mission .. but i am actually quite happy with what i am getting now i know it can be alot better .. but that road to glory knows no ends and budget lets put it this way ... when i sent my speakers for repairs i listened to custom built dynaudio speakers at mr Oh's place those dynaudio may sing just a tad sweeter driven by dedicated stereo amp and source but not by that much la ... me using PC as source only nowadays all my CDs and vinyls lie collecting dust .. even my old turntable broke and was given away liau CD player too broke and was thrown away |

QUOTE(QiW @ Dec 28 2018, 09:32 AM) when u listen in straight stereo mode .. u would want the main speakers to get the best and full signals ideally yes.. for stereo mode but when we want to go for 2.1 then the crossover need to be tweak so that the low freq will flow to sub rather than main or some ppl will do lfe+main for double bass. depends on the system a lot of posibilities for the bass management signal for sub tapped from mains for better coherence according to REL la .. which i find good |
