I have recently bought some Mission M73's and they sound great. Within the last day or so the right hand speaker has started to make a sort of fuzzing,buzzing sound and I am not sure if it's the speaker or amp. It is intermittent and when I can be bothered I will swap the speakers over to see if the fault moves with it. I would like to know if anyone has any ideas what could be causing it. The speakers are bi-wired. I have not yet (for some strange reason) removed the plates from the back which connects the lf and hf together. Thanks in advance MikeK :clap:

I'd be interested to know if you think biwiring the speakers - the way you have them now - has made them sound any better than single wiring. :p

Baps! It won't have made any difference until I remove the bloody link connectors!!!


I know that

Maybe that's what the problem is..

:nuts:

Could be a short on the speaker cable, loose binding post (speaker or amp), dodgy driver, a mouse could of clambered into the bass port...

Could be anything mate, check the connections. But remove those plates, FGS. :p

I removed the plates from the posts and swapped the speakers over. They sound better now and the buzzing has gone. Cheers Baps for confirming my suspicions :)

I'm thinking of getting some M73s or possibly M74s. What do you think of them? And what amp have you got driving them?

Thanks.

I've got a Yamaha RXV-620RDS driving M74's, M7C1 and M7DS rears, together with a Paradigm PDR-10 sub. IMO the sound quality from the M74's is superb. OK, the finish is a beech-effect laminate, but it looks good. Extremely good value for money. The bass goes down really low - not stomach churning - but rock solid.

Sounds good. I've just bought a Denon AVR1602 and my old Wharfies really can't be doing it justice. I live in a flat with people below so can't really get a sub - good base from my main speakers is quite important.

Your setup is the same one I was thinking of going for. Have you also been impressed with the rears? Can you tell any difference from using bipolars?

Now to convince the girlfriend...

Just thought I would mention I am selling an almost new pair of M74's in the classifieds. As you are in London we could easily meet for a deal. Let me know :)

Can I tell the difference between dipole and conventional rears? Errrm, dunno, I haven't got conventionals to try :). They certainly sound very impressive and they look good too - well, you've got a girlfriend - these things are important!
