Bookshelf Speakers — Mission QX-2 MKII

The QX-2 MKII is a bookshelf loudspeaker from Mission, sitting above the QX-1 MKII within the brand's QX series with somewhat greater sensitivity and power ceiling. The QX-2 MKII brings Mission's more accomplished current engineering to a more substantial compact stand-mount format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 44Hz to 24,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB, extending deeper than the QX-1 MKII. Sensitivity is 88dB into a demanding 4 ohm load, somewhat higher than the QX-1 MKII's 87dB. Recommended amplifier power spans 25-120W. At 57.0 x 39.5 x 42.0cm and 8.5kg, the QX-2 MKII represents a meaningful step up in scale from the QX-1 MKII.

Sound and use context

Expect a considered, dynamically capable presentation reflecting the somewhat higher 88dB sensitivity and deeper 44Hz bass extension, providing genuine additional capability over the smaller QX-1 MKII.

Pairing

The demanding 4 ohm impedance and wide 25-120W recommended range call for an amplifier with genuine current delivery.

Alternatives

Mission's own QX-1 MKII offers a more compact, more accessible alternative within the same broader QX series.
