The iconic Mission 770 is back but brought up to date. 
Bass down to 30Hz.
The best thing is that they are designed and *built* in the UK! Excellent.
I loved my Mission 700s as a teenager. 770s were a little beyond room size and reach. 30Hz -?dB?. Need an honest plot. |

I thought the same thing. 30Hz is going to be 10dB or more down for speakers of that size.
I might as well say my PC speakers can do 30Hz. At about -30dB below the mean sensitivity.

Those seem to be straddling the line between " sumptuous gorgeousness," and " crass bling".  |

The panzerholz is nice, the brass trimmings less so.

I thought the same thing. 30Hz is going to be 10dB or more down for speakers of that size. I might as well say my PC speakers can do 30Hz. At about -30dB below the mean sensitivity. Beat by my Duettas at +/- 0DB at 21 Hz. Mind you they are about +10 to +12DB at around 32 Hz. Not so good there but in practice it makes them sound really weighty, which I really like. Another caveat is that with extremely heavy bass material the volume level is constrained as the bass panel excursions become insane. They will do copius amounts of bass at decent volume, though. Radiating area helps a lot. As does force per unit area when moving air. Unfortunately to do that with the design a lot of power is required. Or very powerful magnets can be used to up the efficiency. But they are very hard to work with and cost more than supplying a lot of power (for the most part). I used to own some Mission 710s and quite frankly the treble used to rip my ears out on some material. A cheaper design than the 770s. At the time I couldn't afford 770s either. |

My MBLs are well down in level by 30hz unless equalised (which I have to confess I do apply to an extent) and I've a similar bass hump around 50hz, that a certain mutual acquaintance of ours found so objectionable. I like it, as you say it adds a bit of naughty but nice heft to the proceedings. |

Neat. www.peachtreeaudio.com/pages/gan-1Is it just me, or does limiting it to a single Coaxial S/PDIF input rather lessen its appeal? No optical, no USB, no flexibility. and how many streamers have a variable coaxial digital audio output? Apart from the Node. My first thought is "one-trick-pony". |

It's not just you. First is finding such a beast that's high enough quality to drive it (variable volume S/PDIF phono) and then the single co-ax strikes me as an limiting signal - mixed data and clock. At the very least, it must have a DDC inside.

KEF LS60 - these new wireless speakers look intriguing. You can stream just about anything to them. I expect we will see a lot more of this kind of tech.

Ooooh, yes. I rather like those, and their mutitudinous ins and outs. There's even a subwoofer out. Mind you, six grand? Maybe not. Even the "bookshelf" LS50 Wireless II are £2,500.00  |

Dali are known for speakers in the cheaper end of the market but "Kore" will apparently be 70k.
A distinct lack of information in this attempt at a commercial.
