Are these Speakers the BEST on Planet Earth ?...

Speakers are completely subjective. If it sounds real to you it is a good speaker regardless of specs and features.

If my Mission Cyrus 781 can changes TOTALLY from ordinary to extraordinary when they are mechanically and electrically and most importantly acoustically rightfully embedded; then any speakers will sound very differently, rightly embedded or not....


Then how can we know if one among hundreds possible contenders is the better?

Price can only be a factor in the matter not the last word....Price are non linearly related to the sophistication of the design and his quality....We cannot compared 1000 bucks speakers most of the times to 100,000 dollars one and most of the times even not to 20,000 one... 


It is certainly not possible to affirm anything without comparing them in the same rightful embeddings conditions and this is very difficult to makes that happen for more than a few speakers at the same times for the same ears....


Then this speculation is more about marketing products and prices then S.Q in itself....


Acoustics delivers 55% of S.Q., and controls of the electrical grid of the house 25 or 30 % and mechanical controlling of resonance problems contributes in my experience around 20 or 15%, these % are valid in the hypothesis that all source are good and relatively equals for any audio systems experiments and that the speakers compared are on the same rungs levels in price/ design quality....These % are only my own experience for sure but meet many others experience also ….


Speakers dont exist in a void or in an anechoic chamber.... They exist in a very particular house and the Room +speakers + ears is the most important factor in audio and works like a single synchronizing apparatus....

"If my Mission Cyrus 781 can changes TOTALLY from ordinary to extraordinary..."

I am embarassed to say, but my Mission 761i are to me still probably the best speakers. They always sound right. No matter what I plugged them to and no matter what room they were in.

I dont judge the Mission speakers" per se".... I only think about the changes induced by room modification, and other modifications (mechanical and electrical) and their final impact on the sound quality...This is my point....Not the quality of a speaker in "abstracto" based on his good design and price....

If we takes any speakers and listen to it in a bad room and after that in an optimally controlled one, the difference is always most of the times staggering....My Mission dont sound the same at all in my controlled room now compared to the same room without any embeddings acoustical tweaks and without any of the electrical controls tweaks, like 3 years ago when I bought them...

Congratulations for your Mission Speakers....Mission produce some speakers very good for their pricing at times....It seems that we are at least 2 thinking the same.... :)


My Tannoy dual gold were  perhaps better tough but it was impossible to put them on my desk.... :)

I bought those speakers in 1994 for $300. They do not have much bass, etc. but they are really just right. To me.
