Requesting PSW recommendation for Mission 707 Speakers

John Bauder · « **on:** 27 Jun 2003, 12:40 am »

I picked up these speakers on ebay cheap. I was not able to find any reviews or specs but at the price I went ahead. They are being used with my second sytem in the bedroom. NAD 3020 integrated amp, Pioneer PL-514 TT, Sony CDP C 245. I really like the sound except for a real lack of bass.

Later I was able to get the following specs from Mission:

TYPE: 2 way inverted drive, reflex loaded speaker
DRIVE UNITS:
Vifa 210 mm LF unit, C20 8 ohm [similar to the one used in the M-762]
Vifa 19 mm HF Polymer Dome, D19 [similar to the one used in the M-761]
FREQ. RESPONSE: 50Hz-20Khz +/-3dB
FREQ RANGE: 30Hz-20Khz
SENSITIVITY: SPL 1M/2.83v 91dB
X-OVER FREQ: 2.7Khz

It seems to me I should be getting better bass from them but I'm not. Can anyone recommend a low price PSW for this set up? I don't plan to upgrade so don't need one that will way outperform the rest of the equipment.

Thanks

Adire Rava. Very musical indeed. $400 with amp and crossover built in. Will go quite loud and (and stay clean) if you want it to.

Thanks to both of you. I picked up a used Yamaha YST-SW205 on ebay and should have it any day.

John,

I'd like to hear what you think of it when you get the chance.
