What reviewers think

Bloggers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below. Links to full reviews follow.

Product Strengths

  • Impressive engineering with cutting-edge drive units
  • Smart and classy appearance
  • Sonic agility
  • Openness in sound
  • Pleasing low-end authority and capable of rendering large-scale dynamic shifts at higher volumes

Product Considerations

  • Not the most interesting listen
  • Messy presentation
  • Lack of dynamic subtlety
  • Vocals can sound insubstantial, diluted of natural warmth and expression
  • May become a little lifeless at lower volume levels

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • B&W 606s offer a more interesting and entertaining performance—with greater dynamic punch and rhythmic coherence

Takeaway: The Mission ZX-2 speakers have impressive engineering and a smart look, and they are able to deliver sonic agility. If the listener is looking for speakers with good low-end authority and plans to listen at higher volumes, these could be worth consideration.

What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

Brand highlights

Taking a step back to look at reviewers' thoughts of the brand's entire lineup—not just this product—what stands out most is the following:

  • The brand incorporates its unique "Inverted Driver Geometry" in many of its speakers, positioning the tweeter below the mid/bass driver to optimize time alignment.
  • There is a clear effort to retain a consistent sonic signature across different product lines and connection types (analogue vs digital) enabling seamless integration of different components.

Mission 750

  • Positioning: A compact, stand-mount speaker designed to offer high-quality sound at a more accessible price point compared to the larger models in the lineup.
  • Description: Praised for its compact design and high-quality sound, featuring a newly developed 5.25" polypropylene bass/midrange driver that enhances power handling and dynamic range. Unlike the larger 770 and 700 models, designed for smaller spaces, making it ideal for those with limited room but who still desire high-quality audio. Its Inverted Driver Geometry design ensures precise sound alignment, a feature shared with the more premium models, but at a more affordable price.

Mission LX-6 MKII

  • Positioning: Part of Mission's mid-level series, offering a balance of performance and affordability.
  • Description: Notable for using technology from the ZX series, including the DiaDrive bass unit for superior low-frequency control. It is perfect for users seeking a high-performance speaker without the premium price tag of the ZX series. The Inverted Driver Geometry design enhances time alignment, a feature that distinguishes it from other models in its price range.

Mission QX-5 MKII

  • Positioning: A high-performance floorstanding speaker in the QX series, designed for those seeking refined audio quality.
  • Description: Features advanced acrylic fiber cone drivers for natural mids and exceptional clarity, setting it apart from the LX series with its enhanced transient impact. The ring dome treble unit offers extended high-frequency reproduction, a feature that provides a more refined listening experience compared to the LX series.

Mission 770

  • Positioning: A flagship model, representing the pinnacle of Mission's speaker design with a focus on craftsmanship and sound quality.
  • Description: Celebrated for its groundbreaking rich, natural sound and modern enhancements, such as a new polypropylene driver and resonance-controlled cabinet. It is perfect for those who seek the highest quality audio and are willing to invest in a premium product, offering a soundstage and detail unmatched by the other models. The 770's design and build quality make it compatible with high-end audio systems, providing a seamless integration for the discerning listener.

Reviews

Following in the footsteps of the award-laden flagship Mission 770 – which also heralded Mission’s return to UK-based manufacturing – and even more recently, the Mission 700, the all-new Mission 750 brings the award-winning ‘modern-classic’ design to a whole-new price-point and category.

Mission is a British hifi speaker brand known for its Inverted Driver Geometry design that places drivers closer to ear level for better stereo imaging, and their speakers deliver a lively, engaging sound rather than strict neutrality. Their flagship 770 model combines 1970s styling with modern acoustics.

Product Strengths

  • Beautifully made for the money, with a solid and substantial feel
  • Superb build and finish, especially since the finish is a real wood veneer
  • Balanced sound with impressive authority for its size
  • Sound delivered with appealing boldness
  • Design meant to improve time alignment for a more emotional connection to music

Product Considerations

  • Sound stage gels to the enclosures rather than being totally free and open
  • A certain lack of transparency noted
  • Some emphasis on the treble reported
  • Not the most expressive of performers, according to What Hi-Fi?
  • Missions lose control and close-in at high levels when playing louder than usual

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • The fit and finish of the Mission 750 make the Bowers & Wilkins feel a little low rent
  • It does not quite match either the Bowers & Wilkins, or particularly the KEF, when it comes to outright resolution or low-level dynamic expression
  • The Mission 750 goes less deep and less tight on the bass when compared to Quad
  • The new 28 millimeter soft dome treble unit on the 750 is touted as eerily close to the Mission 770

Takeaway: The Mission 750 is a well-built speaker that sounds balanced and bold, making it worth a listen. Its design focusing on emotional connection and build quality make it a compelling choice.

KEF
R3 Meta

/
18
Reviews

R3 Meta redefines bookshelf speaker’s performance. Sharing the same drivers as the range-topping R11 Meta, the R3 Meta is a true three-way design. It has a 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array with MAT™ and a powerful 6.5” hybrid aluminium bass driver that pushes performance to new extremes.

KEF's signature Uni-Q technology places the tweeter in the center of the woofer to create a single point source for sound, while their Metamaterial Absorption Technology absorbs 99% of unwanted sound from the rear of the driver. Their Music Integrity Engine corrects timing errors in the speaker crossover, and their Shadow Flare technology reduces diffraction for improved detail and clarity in sound reproduction.
Check Amazon
Expand Details

Product Strengths

  • Remarkably precise, unusually musical, and vivid sound, creating an open, inviting sound and bringing superb clarity and resolution to music
  • Wide, airy, and holographic soundstage with excellent directivity, spreading reflections evenly for a consistent sound experience even when not in the 'sweet spot'
  • Innovative Meta Material Absorption Technology (MAT) absorbs 99% of unwanted sound coming from the rear of the tweeter, leading to improved clarity, precision, and detail in the high frequencies—and better overall composure when the mix gets complicated
  • A dedicated woofer handles the bass, allowing the coaxial system to focus on the important midrange without interference, which results in improved bass performance and power handling
  • Neutrality and balanced frequency response, combined with excellent linearity, makes it very suitable for equalization, allowing users to adjust the sound to their preferences

Product Considerations

  • The bass, while tight and tuneful, might not provide the 'gut punch' or chest-thumping experience some listeners prefer, and a subwoofer is recommended for those seeking more pronounced low-end dynamics
  • The treble response, while detailed and airy, may sound a bit bright when the speaker is aimed directly at the listener (on-axis), and a slight toe-out (5-10 degrees) is recommended to relax the high frequencies
  • Some reviewers note that they may sound a little flat or leaner at very low listening volumes, excelling more when given some 'juice' and volume
  • The piano black finish, while beautiful, is prone to fingerprints and requires care to maintain its appearance

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Vs. LS50 Meta: Considered a better, more complete speaker with a more balanced presentation from top to bottom—and a more fleshed-out sound
  • Vs. Bowers & Wilkins 705 S3: Puts the treble on a much tighter leash, while the 705 S3 can come on as just too much in that lower treble region
  • Vs. Buchardt S400 Mark II: Is leaner, airier, and more spatial, while the Buchardt is warmer, thicker, and has more bass punch
  • Vs. Revel M106: The Revel M106's directivity is nowhere near as good as the Kef R3 meta

Takeaway: The KEF R3 Meta is a well-rounded and high-performing loudspeaker, offering a detailed and balanced sound signature with excellent imaging capabilities. It is a great choice for those seeking a neutral and engaging listening experience.

  • Intuitive BluOS app provides access to many streaming services, multi-room control, and customisation options
  • Wide range of connectivity options including HDMI eARC, phono inputs, USB, Wi-Fi, and aptX HD Bluetooth

Product Considerations

  • BluOS app required for setup and primary use, no dedicated remote control is provided
  • BluOS app can be quirky, and there are potential setup difficulties and HDMI connectivity issues
  • Lacks room EQ features for near-wall or desktop placement, and doesn't have enough output for larger rooms without a subwoofer

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Vs SVS Prime Wireless Pro, the Alpha iQ provides a deeper soundstage and more filled-in sound
  • Vs Q Acoustics's Q Active 200, the Alpha iQ delivers greater sense of scale
  • Vs Bowers & Wilkins Panorama 3, the Alpha iQ provides more transparent sound and better dynamic range
  • Vs ELAC Debut ConneX, the Alpha iQ offers wider-ranging connectivity and a dedicated control app
  • Vs KEF LSX II, the Alpha iQ has a feature-rich app and multi-room audio skills
  • Vs Alpha AM3, the Alpha iQ is physically larger, with more rated power and wireless connection between speakers

Their speakers use concentric driver designs that minimize cone displacement and enhance clarity, while their phono stages offer uncommon features like front-panel adjustability for gain and cartridge load.
Check Amazon
Expand Details

Product Strengths

  • Precise and stable stereo imaging
  • Good detail retrieval
  • Neutral tonal balance
  • Versatile directivity

Product Considerations

  • Bass extension requires a subwoofer for full-range playback, especially below the mid-40Hz range
  • Potential for brightness, especially when toed-in directly towards the listening position
  • Requires careful setup and experimentation with placement to optimize sound, especially in relation to the rear wall and toe-in

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • The SourcePoint 8 is more neutral, with a less elevated top end, while the SourcePoint 10 is brighter

Takeaway: The SourcePoint 8 is a well-engineered speaker that stands out for its clear imaging and ability to convey musical detail across different genres. It offers a balanced and neutral sound that makes it an engaging listening experience.

Wharfedale
Evo4.2
899
/
Released
2021
Wharfedale's new EVO4 has grown out of the extensive research and development that produced the ELYSIAN flagship loudspeakers and borrows much of the technology involved in ELYSIAN. The primary focus is on the AMT development resulting in a radically different way of reproducing high frequency detail efficiently and accurately.
Check Amazon
Wharfedale is a speaker brand known for making high-end audio accessible to budget-conscious audiophiles, particularly through their Heritage Series and Diamond line which offer premium sound at affordable prices. Their speakers feature curved cabinets and are celebrated for their rich, full-bodied sound with excellent tonal balance, notably in their Linton 85s and Dovedale models.
Expand Details

Our Summary

Product Strengths

  • Excellent focus and separation, with the speakers 'disappearing' to create a natural soundstage
  • Impressive low-end performance, adding authority to the music
  • Cohesive driver integration, with no perceivable handover between the AMT tweeter, midrange dome, and woofer
  • Remarkable neutrality in the midrange, with a detailed yet smooth treble—avoiding harshness even at higher volumes
  • Clear and detailed sound reproduction, extracting nuances and levels of information outstanding for its price

Product Considerations

  • Vertical off-axis performance of the AMT tweeter is not good, so correct speaker height and toe-in are important
  • Soundstage is not super wide, with the presentation mostly between the speakers
  • Some reviewers found the aesthetics or proportions to be awkward or not to suit all tastes
  • Bass may be a bit polite for some listeners wanting subwoofer-type rumble
  • The midrange can be fatiguing if the listener's ear is at the midrange driver level

Takeaway: The Evo4.2 is a well-rounded speaker that delivers excellent sound quality with impressive imaging, detail, and tonal balance. It is capable of providing an audiophile experience at an affordable price.

Expand Details

Our Summary

Product Strengths

  • Attractive design with rounded cabinet edges and multiple finish options (Satin Black, Satin White, Santos Rosewood, Holme Oak)
  • Good midrange reproduction—clean and uncolored—especially for the price
  • Clear and detailed sound with good separation of instruments
  • Taut and agile bass performance
  • Internal bracing (P2P) stiffens the cabinet, reducing vibrations and improving stereo image
  • Connectivity options such as binding posts

Product Considerations

  • Can tend towards brightness, potentially causing fatigue during longer listening sessions—especially with the wrong equipment pairing
  • Cabinet size is relatively large for a bookshelf speaker
  • Bass response is somewhat subdued
  • Some reviewers noted imaging issues, with vocals lacking a firm presence in the center
  • Grilles muddle the sound

Takeaway: The Q Acoustics 5020 is a great-looking speaker that offers a rich and musical sound, making it a very entertaining listen for the price. With its ability to reveal details from recordings, it's a wise choice for those looking for a well-built and sonically pleasing speaker.

Klipsch
RP-600M II
649
/
Released
2022
A new, larger 90° x 90° silicone composite hybrid Tractrix® horn provides incredibly efficient transfer of high-frequency waves into the listening area for crisper, clearer sound. The phase plug and compression molded silicone face ensure smooth frequency response.
Check Amazon
Klipsch is renowned for its pioneering use of horn-loaded technology in speakers, which enhances efficiency and reduces distortion through their signature Tractrix Horn design. The brand's distinctive "Klipsch sound" is characterized by a bright, dynamic audio profile that some find exhilarating.
Expand Details

Our Summary

Product Strengths

  • Larger horn tweeter and a new Cerametallic woofer, compared to its predecessor
  • Upgraded binding posts and crossover plate elevate to Reference Premiere status
  • Larger diameter voice coils and aluminum shorting rings on the woofers give the speaker better linearity throughout the bass, decrease distortion while upping power handling resulting in improved speed and accuracy
  • Better detail retrieval, more articulate bass, and vastly improved soundstage width and imaging, compared to the RP-600M
  • The binding posts are the same that are found on costlier Heritage speakers

Product Considerations

  • Finish options did not receive an upgrade over the outgoing model, leaving customers with the same ebony or walnut wraps
  • The tweeter may be too bright for some listeners who are sensitive to a more aggressive top end
  • Rated sensitivity is 94.5dB, which is a decrease compared to the original's reported sensitivity of 96
  • Needs a bit of space behind them and to the sides, or at least positioning on open shelves, if the powerful output from that port isn't to muddy the sound

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Compared to the older RP-600M, the new sounds far more linear
  • The new is very easy to listen to for long periods of time, and while it still has a presence, a speed and transparency to the artist or instrument—at least with respect to the midrange—it is not as forward sounding as past designs
  • The new proved to be surprisingly flat, but best of all, not the least bit fatiguing
  • There was very little difference in tone with respect to the mids between the new and a costlier Revel bookshelf
  • These two are actually pretty neck and neck
  • As for the Wharfedale Evo 4.1, the Evo is better constructed, not to mention nicer looking

Takeaway: The RP-600M II is a refined speaker with better components, improved sound, and better bass response and imaging. It's a speaker that would be great for someone who likes to listen to a variety of music genres and wants a good-sounding speaker that can last a long time.

SVS
Ultra Evolution Bookshelf
599
/
Released
2024
Reference flagship bookshelf speaker is a technology tour-de-force that stands toe-to-toe with the finest loudspeakers in the world delivering reference sound for both two-channel audiophiles and home theater fans. The SVS Ultra Evolution Bookshelf speaker represents the culmination of SVS breakthroughs in driver design, component materials, and cabinet architecture, married with a relentless passion for audio excellence.
Check Amazon
SVS is a hifi brand known for its subwoofers that feature dual 8-inch voice coils and 17-inch drivers, delivering deep bass with precise control through their force-balanced woofer array design. Their Ultra Evolution series uses diamond-coated aluminum dome tweeters and acoustically centered time alignment cabinet architecture to ensure all sound reaches listeners' ears simultaneously for a coherent soundstage.
Expand Details

Our Summary

Product Strengths

  • Incredible power handling capabilities, performing as well as speakers in the $2,000–$3,000 range
  • Sound quality is comparable to stand-mount speakers in the $1,500–$2,000 range
  • Build quality is phenomenal for its price point, with real wood veneer options available
  • Produces a dense and deep soundstage, especially for a two-way design
  • Neutral and clean sound with nice extension in the upper mid-range to high-frequency extension, avoiding a 'hot' sound

Product Considerations

  • Stereo imaging is decent, but not as precise as some listeners may prefer
  • The mid-range can be a weak point due to some potential resonance in the upper frequencies of the woofer's range
  • The speakers are not the easiest to drive and pairing with neutral, slightly warmer amps is recommended
  • The treble response is slightly forward with some extra sparkle which may not be ideal for those sensitive to higher frequencies
  • While the bass is good, listeners of bass-heavy music may want to add a subwoofer

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Vs. SVS Nano: The Ultra Evolution has a more open and expansive midrange and more linear bass, while the Nano has punchier—slightly boosted—bass
  • Vs. Heco Salon Revolution 3: The Ultra Evolution is a good replacement since the Heco is discontinued, the Ultra Evolution favors neutrality, while the Heco has a warmer midrange, but the treble is very similar on both
  • Vs. KEF R3 Meta: The SVS Ultra Evolution disappears better, but the R3 Meta sounds more neutral
  • Vs. Dali Opticon II Mark IIs: Dali is warmer and more nuanced in the midrange but the Ultra Evolution is a little more exciting in its presentation

Takeaway: The SVS Ultra Evolution Bookshelf speakers provide exceptional performance for the price and create an immersive listening experience. They are well-built, attractive, and offer a balanced sound that makes them a strong contender in their price range.
