Mission LX-2

Mission’s LX-2s marked something of a return to form for the brand. After years of near misses, the company finally managed to come up with a product that delivered all the fun we remembered from its classic offerings but wrapped in a modern budget package. One that was good enough, indeed, at its original £160, to have won an Award from us in 2016.

These speakers were even designed to look a little like Missions of old, most obviously with the use of the brand’s traditional tweeter below the mid/bass configuration. This arrangement, it’s claimed, aids the time alignment between the drivers – the sound from each unit arriving at the listener better synchronised – so helping integration. It helps that this upside-down arrangement makes these standmounters stand out from the competition too.

Directional performance

That tweeter is a 25mm microfibre dome. It’s coupled to the 13cm fibre-composite mid/bass driver through a single-wire crossover, carefully calibrated to optimise off-axis performance.
