Home, Furniture and DIY:Smart Home and Surveillance:Smart Speakers, Hubs and Accessories:Smart Speakers I've owned the speakers for 30 years because I've loved the sound. Sometimes when I turn up the volume I think there is a bit of high frequency distortion, otherwise I think they are as good as new. To compare the speakers you would need to accurately know the specifications and the original selling price.

However, the good news for the OP is that MS20i Pearl Editions would be an excellent and very cost effective upgrade and well worth waiting for a really good pair to come along.

Consumer Electronics:TV, Video and Home Audio:Home Audio:Home Audio Components:Record Players/Home Turntables Solid constructionLike the M10, the M20 has a cabinet constructed of heavy duty MDF. This rigidity helps the sound quality as it ensures the cabinet doesn’t distort and bring unnatural colouration to the sound. A neat touch with both drive units is the absence of visible fixings. This not only provides clean, good looks but also enhances the sound imaging as smooth surfaces enhance staging precision. Compact dimensions and a neutral finish help the M20 blend in to its surroundings. I’m clearing up my audio collection. These MS 902 signatures are collectibles and step above the easily found variants 902i.

You can then compare/contrast easily in your own home environment and also with your MS 20's.

It is a reassuring characteristic of most of the smaller high-fidelity manufacturers in the UK that they do not bring out new models every few months just for the sake of drawing attention to themselves or introducing cosmetic changes. Mordaunt-Short belong to this small but reliable band, and in about 16 years of making loudspeakers they have modified their designs only two or three times as new materials or techniques have become available.

There is fantastic detail, yet lots of warmth. I position them 8cm from a rear wall.

With Scott Walker's 30th Century Man playing, the 902is time really well, marshalling a natural tempo, and integrating voices and instruments pretty seamlessly. Plenty of fine detail is on display, with the 902is confident, assertive voice being beautifully judged.

When it gets down to two speakers, then only you wallet and your ears can tell you which is right. That Chinese company is Audio Partnership, the same that owns Cambridge Audio. There is a business connection with Richer Sounds, hence Richers being the only UK dealer selling CA kit.Vehicle Parts and Accessories:Car Parts:Interior Parts and Furnishings:Other Interior Parts and Trim
