We're showing the RRP of these speakers as £1290, but the truth of the matter is, that when I bought mine (yes, I run a pair of these) the RRP was actually closer to £1700. This gives you a feel for two things. Firstly, I must like these speakers, otherwise I wouldn't choose to own them, and secondly the fact that our Hot Deal of just £699 a pair, represents outrageous value for money. Although it pains me to say it (because I paid more than you would) a saving of £1000 off a speaker that was already successful at its full RRP, makes this one of the best deals we've ever offered.

These speakers look and sound expensive - they sport six, fast action drivers, housed in a gorgeous, curved enclosure that is not much wider than a CD case and stands less than a metre tall. If you'd paid £1700 for a pair of speakers, you'd expect something a bit special and the Missions don't disappoint - their tapered cabinet is exquisitely finished in anthracite with a high-gloss lacquer that looks absolutely stunning in any room. Build quality is awesome - a pair of these speakers weighs in at nearly 8 stone! Sound output is equally impressive, with a powerful, smooth delivery that suits almost any Home Cinema or Stereo system. The multiple 'small driver' configuration works a dream, by shifting enough air to produce bass that's as tight as a bouncer's hand-shake, but is blissfully lacking in the boom that might well have been present had one big bass driver been used instead. Utilising small drivers also means that these speakers are far happier close to rear walls than most floorstanding designs. I've owned these speakers for well over a year now and they never fail to delight - highly recommended!

As Messrs Hale and Pace would say, a deal like this should Ron and Ron...but I'm afraid stocks are severely limited, so you'd better not hang about for too long - if you know what's good for you!
