Page 1 of Which is better?

This question has probably been asked before, but I`m going to ask it again...
Eltax HT-2`s or Mission 77DS`s? I actually intended to buy the Mission`s but the guy in Richer Sounds said that the Eltax bipoles are better, so I went along with him... Thing is, I`ve noticed a hell of a lot of people have the Mission`s. Is this because they are better?

Cheers,

The Mission 77DS were ( as far as im aware ) one of the first bipole speaker designs to hit the mass market - as such more ppl will naturally have them. Also they recieved rave reviews from such mags as What HiFi , Home Cinema etc etc.

Another reason would be that Eltax arent the best manufacturers in the world and missions range means people wanting matching "manufacturer" speaker sets will usually plump for the 77DS or no M7DS ( slightly new - not aware of any diff apart from the name )

As for sound, sorry after all this i cant comment - personally ill be buying the missions as they got great reviews and "some" are Eltax`s range totally sux so im not going to risk it.

Hope that explains the popularity if not the sound - maybe someone else can explain that one

Well the Eltax HT-2s have actually been rated 5-star by `What Hi-Fi?` and I can`t say I`ve seen a bad review...

The thing to worry about, is if you are happy with them. If they sound great and look good, and were a good price then don`t worry.
