Bought these quite recently and they are very very tidy. Great sounding and nice to look at too.

The performance was described to me as "like Rogers on steroids"

They have not disappointed at all. For small speakers they really do bass very very well. MIDs are amazing and treble, as you'd expect from mission, is faultless.

These were a stop gap for me and now I have my floorstanders they are no longer needed.

Atacama stands are included for free if collecting. I won't post the stands.

The stands were gifted to me by a very generous member of AOS

£75 posted
£65 collected

No profit is being made at these prices which is in keeping with the spirit of the forum.

I won't lower the price because they are worth every penny. I'll put them in my loft if they don't sell and happily keep them.

Surprisingly heavy too. My first pair of "real" speakers, and have seen these in front of some disproportionately expensive systems! Just a well balanced speaker with excellent imaging, for the price am not sure these can be beaten.

I've owned a pair since 1994 and I still use them every day as part of my desktop system - brilliant speakers ! :)

Hi all,

Thanks for the interest. The speaker's are on hold for someone for 24 hours. I also have someone with first refusal if the original enquirer falls through.

If you're interested in the speaker's pls drop me a message and I'll put you in the queue lol

Thanks

Oliver.

Great little speakers, if I were on the look out I would snap them up. But as I'm not have a free bump on me.

Well they didn't stay with you all that long Oliver :).

I bet you're looking at other speakers already, even though you've just got some nice Ruarks. ;)

No Geoff, they sold within 20mins of me putting the ad up !!! Had another hour with them today before they went and they really are great speakers.

The Ruarks are going to be difficult to dislodge. What a great sound d they make. It's big, spacious, and thumping. Lots of bass extension but the best thing is, they are very atmospheric. The missions were so focused they lacked a bit of emotion to me. The ruarks have all the same qualities but really give out a sense of feeling. They are excellent.

Just spoken to Andrew, he's very happy with the Missions and said to pass on his compliments.

He said you are a rather talented guitarist, I did notice the axes in the photo. I played bass in a few bands over the years, did some radio and TV work plus a lot of recording.....I've still got a couple of basses but bitterly regret selling my Rickenbacker, never found anything that felt the same, oh well.

I'm really pleased he's happy. He's a thoroughly nice guy !

Yes I've been playing for 20 years so if I'm no good by now I should give up lol.

I had a Tokai rickenbacker copy years back. Only guitar I've ever regretted selling. It was an original Japanese hand crafted one before Tokai went to manufacturing techniques. I paid £200. Sold it for £250 to a mate who traded it in for £1400 !!!!

Live and learn.

I've done a few singles with a band and we were signed briefly but never got anywhere. Still, had a great time lol
