Dilemma-Atlantic Technology THX or Mission 77 speakers? (1 Viewer)

[Corbin Stirn]

Hi everyone. I have an opportunity for 2 different sets of older speakers but wasn't sure what might be better. One is a set of Atlantic Technology THX speakers- it is the 270 series but it IS missing the subwoofer. It does have the fronts, center, and the dipole surrounds.

Other possibility is a set of 77 series Missions. 774 fronts, 77C center(the better one), pair of 771s, and a pair of 77ds. I have had Missions 77 series and like them, but know nothing about the Atlantic Technology speakers. Does anyone have or know about the AT 270 sets? I know not having the subwoofer from that set is disappointing, but it isn't there.

Price-wise it's close to a wash........both sets will cost me around $250 each. I run and have a Denon 1910 and 2808 CI and Onkyo TX-NR709. Any comments and observations would be appreciated. Thanks again......

Get the Missions. For $250 you are stealing them.

So the Mission 77s would definitely be considered better by many? I do 50/50 music/movies. I asked about the AT because of the THX certification and the name...........I've never heard AT speakers in person yet.
