Floorstanding loudspeakers — Mission QX-3 MKII

The QX-3 MKII is a floorstanding loudspeaker from Mission, part of the brand's QX series, built with a demanding impedance and notably high sensitivity. The QX-3 MKII brings Mission's considered engineering to an accessible floorstanding format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 44Hz to 24,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Sensitivity is 88dB into a demanding 4 ohm load, with recommended amplifier power spanning 25-120W. At 43.5 x 32.5 x 110.0cm and 20kg, the QX-3 MKII represents a genuine floorstanding commitment within Mission's QX series.

Sound and use context

Expect explosive dynamic headroom reflecting the solid 88dB sensitivity, though the demanding 4 ohm impedance calls for an amplifier with genuine current delivery.

Pairing

The demanding 4 ohm impedance and moderate 25-120W recommended range call for a reasonably capable amplifier with genuine current delivery.

Alternatives

Mission's own QX-4 MKII sits above this model with somewhat deeper bass extension and greater weight, worth comparing directly to find the right Mission QX-series floorstanding tier.
