Mission is more famous for speaker while Yamaha is more famous for amp. I have not listen to a Yamaha speaker before therefore can't comment much. As for Mission M33i , I think it's a very good value for money speaker. Of course there are other better speaker (eg AE Neo or Monitor Audio Bronze) but the price is much more expensive. Same goes to the sub. The SW150 is good value for money but if you can afford it go for the Velodyne CHT10 or 12 (more than RM2k).

Then what about theMA Bronze BRAV 5.1 Pack ?

user posted image

Not sure about price wise, but someone said the MA BR2 speakers are good, also not sure if they meant the other speakers in the BRAV set including sub woofer would be a good choice ...

What do you think ? Price performance comparison.


The compact BR2AV system marries the

- BR2 speakers

- BR-LCR

- BR-FX surround speakers

- BRW-10 active subwoofer

Aesthetics: 10/10

Performance: Not sure

Price: Not sure

Where to buy: Not sure

I just set up my 5.1 HT with the following components:

Amp: Onkyo TX-SR705
Front: Mission M32i
Centre: Mission M3c2i
Rear: Mission 760i (>10 year old pair but still sound great!)
Subwoofer: Wharfdale WH210 (great value for branded 10" subs)

I don't recommend Yamaha speakers...they are know for excellent amps but not for their speakers. I tested a top of the range Yamaha 5.1 set (>RM15,000) and I must say it sounded mediocre. My whole system cost me less than RM6k and I am very happy with it for its value.

Front: Mission M32i - RM800
Centre: Mission M3c2i - RM700 (you can buy subsequent ones for 1/2 price i.e. RM350) - can function as front and rear as well - very good value!
Speakers bought at CMY Damansara Utama.

Subwoofer: Wharfdale WH210 - RM700 bought at Desa Home Theatre (LYP)

Horray about the sub woofer, i heard that Wharfdale don't know how to make a decent sub woofer. Is that true ?

Ps: what did you get for surround ?

For a little bit more than the Mission M3i series, I would go for the Monitor Audio BR series. Quality of the cabinet/drivers and the sound are clearly better. You can check them out in CJ Audio in The Mall. BR2 is about RM1100+ and the center speaker about the same price.

Yes, CMY. They're also located at LG Sg Wang Plaza & 1 Utama (old wing).

Wharfedale, not decent? I guess it is a matter of preference as well as budget. For RM700, it is definitely good enough for me.

My surrounds are my old Mission speakers 760i. Good enough to start off...slowly upgrade in future. I don't have a bottomless pocket full of money! cry.gif

You should try the surrounds using the Mission centre piece...it sounds really good and cost only RM700 (RM350 each @ 50% off). I didn't do so because I still have my old Missions which works well. No reason to upgrade. hmm.gif

Yes, Monitor Audio is good. I tried the Bronze 4. The price is quite steep though.

I was quoted RM2.4k for the Bronze 4 only. If include the center and surround it will be around RM5k. Bronze 4 is not the latest model. The latest model is BR5 which is around RM3.5k.
