Must get my petites fixed one day

Purely on aesthetics, it’s the Mission by a country mile for me. I think they look fabulous and the build quality is really good too. For £1,500 with stands given it’s made here, I think- by the very loose standards of ‘value’ in audio in 2022, they’re good value too.
On sound, it’s the Neat though; that’s one of the best things I’ve reviewed all year.
