The sub alone must be worth a couple hundred, so even second hand its good value, the only thing I wasnt blown away with was the centre, its identical to the surround satellites but somehow (possibly due to not enough tweaking on my part) didnt give strong enough vocals/centre effects.
Im fussy about that though, most people would probably be fine with good tweaking, for me I like movie vocals to jump out at you. |
No, they're all new from a major dept store here (in Australia). I think you can get the 255 for quite a bit lessthan £600 in the UK but even so I thought the deal mentioned was possibly too good to pass up on - even if I do find it necessary to buy some speakers more suited to music in the future.
I listened to the 255/HKTS11 set up recently and thought under one particular setting the centre was too dominant so I guess some tweaking would sort you out....
Are you happy with the sub's performance? I have only heard the speakers in a very large open store area, which doesn't help.
What sort of price do the Mission fronts come in at?
