ssabripo,
Personally i don't rank speakers. I like some over others per my own preferences.
I did not like the B&W 603s as i found them more harsh compared to other brands, like Axiom, Tannoy or Monitor Audio, let alone against their own brethren, the 703s. However the 703s are darn pricey speakers.
The Missions i heard were quite good, and quite large, for their price. I was pleasantly surprised, but they were somewhat recessed in sound and did not have the detail of the other models we were auditioning at the time. If anyone finds Axiom or {insert name here} to be bright or forward, i suggest they listen to the Mission M35s to hear just how big the difference can be. If such a person prefers a laid back or less bright sound, then the Missions are a good choice.
