I am going to be getting new speakers to replace my Mission 707's(rubber rings around the woofers disintegrated), and I haven't been impressed that much with the budget priced speakers at the dealers here (B&W, PSB, JM Labs). I have read extremely good reviews of both the M22's and the nOrh 4.0's, and they are at the same price point. Unfortunatly they both come mail order here, and return shipping to Thailand is expensive! Has anyone listened to both of these speakers? I would be interested in your impressions.
