Appears to be the cheapest line from Mission, which is no longer the old Mission Co started back in the 70s.  Like so many audio companies nowadays they're owned by some conglomerate.  I haven't heard these and it doesn't look like the manufacturer cares all that much either, just a one paragraph blurb when the higher lines get reams of copy.  Depending on price and condition.

something inexpensive to put in my friend's condo in Thailand. I am here maybe 3 months a year.

electronics are at least 50% higher here.

I have a Yamaha receiver here, no speakers.

wouldn't mind something even smaller - 4" drivers.

I would look into Norh speakers, made in Thailand.

Price and condition would be needed for a thoughtful reply.

I contacted Norh, I was curious about the PP 15 integrated and didn't get a reply. $399.95 USD for Norh 3 is probably more than I want to go. I love the $399.95 gimmick pricing!

very little available here for $200-$300USD, almost nothing. Logitech computer speakers in that price range.

I didn't like the powered Wharfedales I heard in Bangkok. lifeless.

still hunting...

thanks for the reply.

For some reason I thought Norh folded after Micheal left, glad to see them around. that nice little ACA2b pre is still only $300.
