Floorstanding loudspeakers — Mission LX-5 MKII

The LX-5 MKII is a floorstanding loudspeaker from Mission, part of the brand's LX series, built with notably high sensitivity and a wide amplifier-power tolerance. The LX-5 MKII brings Mission's considered engineering to an accessible floorstanding format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 42Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Sensitivity is a notably high 90dB into the standard 8 ohm load, with a wide recommended amplifier power range of 30-150W. At 42.0 x 34.0 x 109.0cm and 19.1kg, the LX-5 MKII represents a genuine floorstanding commitment consistent with Mission's LX-series engineering standards.

Sound and use context

Expect explosive dynamic headroom reflecting the notably high 90dB sensitivity, meaning this speaker reaches satisfying volumes readily from a wide range of amplifiers.

Pairing

The standard 8 ohm impedance and notably high 90dB sensitivity make the LX-5 MKII compatible with a wide range of amplifiers.

Alternatives

Mission's own QX-3 MKII and QX-4 MKII offer alternatives at a somewhat different impedance within the brand's QX series.
